A-Rod's Wife Files Big D

Cynthia Rodriguez has officially filed for divorce from Alex Rodriguez.

In the documents, filed today in Miami, Cynthia says she's exhausted every effort to salvage the marriage. Alex has "emotionally abandoned" his wife, leaving her with no choice but to divorce him.

She says the marriage is "irretrievably broken" because of Alex's "extra-marital affairs and other marital misconduct." Note she said affairs -- plural.

She's seeking primary custody of the couple's two girls, Ella and Natasha, as well as child support to "maintain the existing lifestyle of the children." That includes life and health insurance and private school.

Cynthia says her man, a "prominent athlete" with "substantial earning power," has the "fiscal capacity to continue his high style of living" but she does not -- hence she's asking for alimony. She is asking to keep their $12 million, six-bedroom estate in Coral Gables, Fla. (and everything in it), as well as her sweet ride -- a Maybach.

She's also asking A-Rod to pay off their debt, as well as her attorney's fees.

The papers mention that a prenup was signed before the couple married in November 2002. Earle Lilly, one of Cynthia's lawyers, told TMZ last night it's too early to know if they will challenge the prenup. A lot is on the line, because A-Rod is reportedly set to rake in $445 mil over the course of his career.

As we first reported, Madonna's name will not be in the divorce papers, but Cynthia's attorney, Earle Lilly, says A-Rod's relationship with her was "the last straw."

1. TMZ should put up two posts - one for the people on his side, and the other for her supporters. Then we don't have to read all the rants posted by the idiots tho don't agree with us! :)

8. i think alex rodriguez sucks and that he needs to look at what he is losing , cynthia is a great women she has been there all throughout his carrer and for him to now after so many years of marriage and two kids (i believe) it is very immature and selfish of him to do. for him to now date madonna who is married up to now and three kids is very wrong and mean to do to wonderful people like cynthia and guy who have been there like i said with them both from the get go but no alex and madonna have to be selfish little b****es

11. #10: She has much more cash than A-rod does but really, who cares? In the end it will bite most of them where it really hurts most - pocketbook. Let them all do each other until hell freezes over - gives us all something to read & laugh about.

13. I'm surprised that she didn't just stick her head in the sand like she did when he was caught cheating last year.

14. Oh good, it's gonna get dirty. I'll bet Madge is thinking "damn, I don't have time for this shiz, I'm going on tour. This shiz had beter not eff up my tour."

Maybe Guy isn't as stupid as I thought. Once Cynthia's lawyers finish proving that Madonna and A-Rod had an affair, Cynthia will be one rich bitch. She will have done all the work, and all Guy will have to do it collect his paycheck!

15. Yeah um why no comments about her banging Lenny Kravitz?Maybe because women are hypocrites.He cheated"oh he's a dog,she's now living with Lenny Kravitz,"oh she was a victim","they're just friends".Good thing he was smart enough to sign a pre nup,cause too many women think guys with money are their meal ticket,and that's BS!
