Madonna Denies Cheating On Guy Ritchie

Madonna has spoken out to deny claims that she is cheating on husband Guy Ritchie with basketball ace Alex Rodriguez.

Madge has recently been romantically linked to the New York Yankees star, amid rumours she is on the verge of a divorce from her filmmaker hubby of eight years.

But in a new statement, the star has again denied she is to separate from Ritchie and rules out an affair with Rodriguez, claiming he is just a close friend.

She tells People, "My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study."

Rodriguez's wife Cynthia has reportedly blamed Madonna for the breakdown of her marriage.

It has also emerged that Cynthia will file for divorce on Monday.

Cynthia's lawyer Earle Lilly says Madonna is not named in the court papers, but adds, "We're not gonna lose this case."
