“I Did Not Spend One Dollar Shopping in Paris”- Alex Rodriguez’s Ex-Wife Once Vehemently Denied Affair and $100,000 Shopping Spree to Punish ‘A-Rod’

Alex Rodriguez is a popular sport, business, and media personality all over North America. He is also one of the richest athletes today. Throughout his era of public prominence, which continues, he has had his share of criticism as well. Concurrently, this criticism has often stretched from his PED admission to his love affairs.

In 2002, A-Rod and Cynthia Scurtis got married. Together, the couple was blessed with two daughters in 2004 and 2008, respectively. A-Rod’s entire dating life has been under constant public scrutiny due to his established name in the world of baseball. However, this relationship attracted negative traction for both A-Rod and Cynthia Scurtis.

What were the rumors about the ex-wife of Alex Rodriguez?

In 2008, shortly after the couple gave birth to their second daughter, rumors of an Alex Rodriguez-Madonna affair started circulating. While Madonna implicitly denied the affair, these rumors reached Cynthia and she chose to leave NYC and visit her children’s godparents in Paris. She said, “I needed to get away. With clear-headed friends. To breathe. To think how I’m going to handle my kids. I just needed a little time.”

Amidst her trip to Paris, rumors of her going on a revenge shopping spree circulated. Denying it, she said, “I did not spend one dollar shopping in Paris. I did not go to super-fancy, expensive restaurants, I did not go to any spa. I didn’t do one thing. I spent the most innocent four days with my children’s godparents, who are as close to us as family. My husband and I were already into our problems and I didn’t know where to go, what to do. I needed to think. To clear my head.”
