Just met? Hardly. New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez was smitten with Madonna six months ago when he was exchanging text messages with her while dining with a friend in Miami.
"He kept smiling, acting as if he was a little kid," the dinner companion tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now.
"He told me it was Madonna," A-Rod's friend says. "I was shocked."
The highest-paid player in baseball then "proceeded to say he was in love with her," the pal tells Us. "I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't."
By February, the 32-year-old slugger had upped the ante. "He said, 'She's my f--king soulmate, dude,'" the friend tells Us.
On Monday, A-Rod's wife of nearly five years Cynthia – who gave birth to the couple's second child in April – filed for divorce six days after Us Weekly broke the news that her husband was making late night visits to Madonna's apartment.
So was it an affair? "Without talking about specifics of sexual conduct, there's no question," her attorney, Earle Lilly, tells Us. "No one very often has pictures of the actual sex itself."
While Madonna, 49 – who put on a show of unity with husband Guy Ritchie last week – has denied a relationship with A-Rod, Us Weekly reports all signs say otherwise.
A-Rod hasn't even seen his newborn daughter Ella "more than once," her attorney adds.
In fact, "literally 10 minutes" after the birth of Ella in Miami, he was flying to NYC to see Madonna, a source tells Us.

Alpha males prerogative.
Why don’t we just pass a law that states rich and famous are different from you and me and are not to be emulated.
I really think A-Rod needs give some consideration to Christy Brinkley, her husband Peter Cook is a total dweeb to give her up for a 17 year old girl.
Alex - listen bro - run. Throw away your phone. Run away.
That means A-Rod will bang anything with 2 legs on it.
“’She’s my f—king soulmate, dude,’”....
Awwww, how romantic.
Alternate Headline: A-Rod admits Whore is His ‘F—king Soulmate’
Cynthia – who gave birth to the couple's second child in April ...
So, if we do the math, A-hole was screwing with Madonna while his wife was carrying his child.
“Check out the new issue of Us Weekly available now, for the full story on how the Material Girl lured A-Rod away from his newborn, why a friend says he’s “totally brainwashed” by kaballah, how Madonna is thriving on the attention and why her friends think A-Rod is “totally her type.”

Guess Guy Ritchie isn’t young or hip enough anymore. I’m sure Madge is in seventh heaven with someone like A-rod chasing after her.
She must have been getting bored. Looking back, she never had a really-and-for-true “scandal” before. Mere exhibitionism does not qualify. Her first marriage to Sean Penn just sort of fell apart without any notable infidelities.
Here in Baltimore they’re talking about having “Madonna Night” the next time the Yanks are in town—play a few bars of the Material Girl whenever A’Rod is coming up to bat. Maybe throw some pointy bras at him.
What’s the deal with this “text messaging” thingy? Can’t anybody use a cell phone or just talk with one another anymore? “Can’t we all just talk?”
eww. talk about sloppy fiftieths
OK sure it is a great example of the social decay that the rich and famous think they are entitled too. But really what overall does this article really contribute..... It is more pop pandering to placate the mass..... We will report more in depth on celebrity news than on real issues that affect the world around us... and I am sorry but a rod and Maddonas indiscretions do not affect the world around us... just their world.
does he require it have a heartbeat?
Of course it doesn’t. And your point is?
No.
Well...anything with less than an IQ of a doorknob like Madonna meets A-Rod’s standards.
Madonna is so yech! And that ball player............yech too!
Sorry no point really, but it did feel good to vent.....
In that case I have a governer here in Arizona that should be right up his alley.
LOL! I walked into that one...
An overrated and overpriced athlete screwing and overrated and overpriced entertainment slut? Who would’ve thunk it?
Sorry it was an irresistable shot I had to take
Ewww! ping
And I don't think too many people would be surprised by A-Rod succumbing to such a malady.
What a bozo. And, lo, Madonna's already denying she knows him.
The poor kid.
Everything else might be true, but I don't think he's overrated. He's not in New York, certainly. He's a great athlete.
Maybe the Brits will kick her out and she’ll have to start using her American accent again.
In love with Madonna?
Yeeuch!!!!!!
You can get the same thing in Times Square for around $20 a pop.
A-rod....dude...she's given more f--king rides than Greyhound.
A-hole is gonna lose a good bit of his money, I think.
As for the slut, any man that would marry her must know what damaged goods he was getting. If he married for love, it was most likely love of money.
(just my opinion)
If I left my wife’s side after ten minutes with our daughter, she would have had me tracked down and killed.
And for Madonna? Their ain’t enough alcohol swabs in the world to make it safe to touch that.
Until playoff time.
Their = There.
Spell check is my friend.
A-Rod is definitely a Hall of Fame quality third basemen. He is definitely not a Hall of Fame quality human nor is he the second coming of Honus Wagner. I’d put him in the same general ballpark as Pete Rose who, considering the eras they played, was both still a better ballplayer and a better human being.
Madonna is an ugly, used up whore.
Christy Brinkley is gorgeous and has some style.
He may not be over-rated in NY, and he may be a great athlete, and certainly he’s bound for the HOF.
But if I had my choice, I’d take Mike Lowell any day.
Quality player, quality person...and a better 3rd baseman.
Plus, she seems to be enjoying this divorce trial just a tad too much.
What a dunce. That’s like being in love with a toilet.
>>>”He said, ‘She’s my f—king soulmate, dude,’”
Probably true. They both have spent their entire careers with balls flying at their faces.
Cordially,
Madonna is not a woman. She’s a medium for microbiology experiments.
At least these greats had enough respect for the fans to be obviously drunk .
Reggie Jackson doesn't count since he was also on the A's and the Orioles.
Cheers!
NO more calls, please.
We have a winner!
Brooks Robinson.
So there!
I agree wholeheartedly. I don't even respond to text messaging.
A-Rod is much better than Brooks Robinson offensively. Nobody touches Brooks Robinson on defense. The only third baseman who even comes close, for some asinine reason, still isn’t in the Hall of Fame: Ron Santo.
Why would a 32 year-old athlete worth tens of millions go after a 49 year-old pop star, when there have to be hundreds of nubile twenty-somethings in NYC eager to go out with him? Is the thrill of nailing a broad even more famous and richer than him that seductive?
That's probably what did it for rodriguez -- the accent. a woman with a british lilt can be almost as devastating as a woman with an Irish lilt.
