When Alex Rodriguez imposed confidentiality agreement on ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis to keep his secret under wraps

New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez and ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis were married for a couple of years before Scurtis filed for a divorce in 2008. She quoted "marital misconduct" and "emotional abandonment" as the reasons for divorce in the court papers.

According to the book, "A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez" Rodriguez forced Scurtis into a confidentiality agreement post their highly publicized divorce. The New York Times wrote a piece in 2009 detailing the divorce:

"Cynthia filed for divorce in July 2008. When it was finalized in September, ending two months of mud slinging, the iron-clad prenuptial agreement called for Alex to make generous childsupport payments. He moved out of the couple's dream home, a Mediterranean-style estate on the water in Coral Gables, and put it on the market for $14 million.

"Cynthia also signed a confidentiality agreement; if Alex's secrets were going to come out, they would not be disclosed by his ex-wife."

Things did not end on a good note with countless claims tying A-Rod to other women, including Madonna. The duo share two daughters Natasha and Ella and co-parent them.

Following his divorce from Scurtis, Rodriguez has dated a number of women. He was engaged to Jennifer Lopez, after dating her for a while. The pandemic caused them to postpone their wedding. Sadly, A-Rod and J.Lo decided not to get married in 2021.

In 2008, there were widespread rumors that Rodriguez and Madonna had a relationship. At the time, Scurtis disclosed that A-Rod had supported her choice to leave the city.
