When it comes to divorce rumors, it's not like Madonna can blame us for speculating. First there was that meeting with the high-powered divorce attorney. Then there were those late night visits from friend Alex Rodriguez, which apparently put A-Rod's wife over the edge.

Cynthia Rodriguez is blaming Madonna and Kabbalah (in a straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back sort of way) for ending her five-year marriage to the Yankees star. Family friend Dodd Romero recently said of A-Rod, "Alex, God bless him, is lost. I think he got pulled in by the dark side, if you can say that nicely. He's totally brainwashed."

Though usually mute on rumors and speculation, the whole messy affair apparently got to be too much for Madonna over the weekend. In an exclusive statement to People, she denied both the allegations of an affair between her and Alex Rodriguez and that there were any marital problems between her and Guy.



"My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce," she said, and went on to say that she is not responsible for the state of A-Rod's marriage or his "spiritual path." Whether there were never any problems to begin with, or Madonna and Guy have just managed to work them out, it's apparently still on between them.

The same can't be said for A-Rod and Cynthia. She filed for divorce earlier today.
