When former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez rebuilt his life around loved ones in the wake of PED ban

New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez was a star player on the field. Unfortunately, his illustrious baseball career was marred by PED usage and his involvement in the 2013 Biogenesis doping scandal.

Rodriguez and ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis share two daughters together and A-Rod is definitely a doting father. Because of Rodriguez's PED consumption, he was banned for the entire 2014 season for 162 games, and believes his ban propelled him towards a family-centric lifestyle. Of this in 2022, he said:

“I think I’m gonna make a wonderful partner or husband and father post-suspension, because of the lessons learned [from] my biggest mistakes,” the retired MLB player said. “When I was 15 years old, I think Sports Illustrated called me a top player in the country, and at that time, I was Alex Rodriguez. And then somewhere along the way at 24, I get a $252 million contract, and probably in Texas, I lost my way a little bit and I became A-Rod."

Rodriguez was married to Scurtis for a few years before parting ways in 2008 when Scurtis filed for a divorce over A-Rod's alleged infedility. The two still co-parent Natasha and Ella together while Scurtis is now married to Angel Nicolas.
