Alex Rodriguez Asks Court to Ignore Cheating Claim

New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez wants his original pre-nupital agreement with wife Cynthia to stand in their divorce battle, the New York Daily News reports.

The 33-year-old, who is the highest-paid player in baseball with a $275 million contact, says in new papers being filed in Florida today that his marriage is "irretrievably broken" but he wants accusations he cheated to be removed from the court record.


Rodriguez argues that claims by his wife that he "emotionally abandoned his wife and children" and carried on "extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct" are "immaterial and impertinent and should be stricken."

Cynthia is seeking to maintain her "high standard of living" through alimony and child support as well as their $12 million estate and "equitable distribution" of all assets.

Rodriguez's filing states Cynthia is a "loving and nurturing mother" and he pledges to pay "reasonable and bona fide expenses" per a co-parenting agreement for daughters Natasha, 3, and Ella, 3 months.

Cynthia filed for divorce earlier this month, just six days after Us Weekly broke the news that A-Rod was making late night visits to Madonna's apartment.

Cynthia's attorney has A-Rod had an "affair of the heart" with the 49-year-old singer.

"Without talking about specifics of sexual conduct, there's no question," her attorney, Earle Lilly, told Us. "No one very often has pictures of the actual sex itself."

OK...SO....take out the cheating part but leave in the "emotionally abandoned his wife and children" part.
