Alex Rodriguez Chooses Family over Madonna

Given Alex Rodriguez's divorce from wife Cynthia earlier this year, it’s no secret that the Rodriquez family has been through the ringer recently. But yesterday it looked like they were trying to maintain some semblance of family while out in Miami, Florida.

The MLB stud was spotted leaving Houston’s restaurant holding and kissing his baby girl Ella as he chatted with his ex-wife and older daughter Natasha.

And contrary to reports, A-Rod isn’t ditching his kids to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with Madonna. An inside source told press that Rodriguez has always planned to be with his family, regardless of the circumstances.

"He always had every intention of spending the holiday with Cynthia, the family, and his two daughters. There was never any intention of him flying back. The allegations regarding this trip to New York [to be with Madonna] couldn't be anything farther from the truth."

"Her (Cynthia’s) mother and father and other family members are flying in. They'll all have a huge family get-together. Alex will be there for that, and be there the entire long weekend."
