A-Rod's Trainer: Yankee "Totally Brainwashed" By Madonna
By Us MagazineJuly 6, 2008, 8:19 am PDT
Alex Rodriguez is so obsessed with Madonna that "he'll only listen to [her] music" while driving, and goes "into a trance" if one of her videos comes on at the gym, alleges the Yankee's former trainer and godfather to his two daughters.
"Alex, God bless him, is lost," Dodd Romero, 46, told the New York Post Sunday. "I think he got pulled in by the dark side, if you can say that nicely. He's totally brainwashed.
"She believes it's what ruined her marriage," Romero said.
"He's more infatuated with the fact he's with an icon instead of realizing what's important, which is family and truth," added the trainer. "Alex [is acting like] he wants a divorce," from wife of five years, Cynthia.
Severing ties with A-Rod, 32, shortly after his second daughter Ella was born this spring, "was one of the hardest things I've had to do, because he's like a brother to me," Romero told the Post.
(Us Weekly was the first to report that A-Rod has been making late night visits to Madonna's Upper West Side apartment - even as early as the day after his daughter was born. Romero alleges that he'd only seen his daughter a couple of times since her birth.)
A source told the Post that Madonna, A-Rod and their shared managed Guy Oseary have shared Friday night Sabbath dinners together. Cynthia's father confirmed to Us Thursday that A-Rod has been studying the religion, "which is something we don't understand."
Cynthia had been in Paris - without her wedding ring - with rocker Lenny Kravitz to "clear her head," but returned to her Miami hometown Saturday.
Of her split with A-Rod, "she's taking it pretty hard," Ray Romero, Dodd's father, told the Post.
"She went there to clear her mind and get away," Ray added. "She feels bad about it."
Kravitz has denied any role in their marriage drama, and even text messaged A-Rod yesterday asking him to, "Clear my name, brother. What is this all about?" according to the Post.
On Saturday, Cynthia was spotted in a pink tank top emblazoned with a heart working out at a Florida gym to a medley of Kravitz's hits like "Fly Away" and "Are You Gonna' Go My Way?"
Also on Saturday: Madonna, 49, and Guy Ritchie, 39, went to a Kabbalah service with son David Banda, 2, in New York City.
A-Rod has been staying mum on the split.
