As per some of the reports, Cynthia was not actually into Alex in the beginning but later she gave in and started dating him.

The pair exchanged their wedding vows in a very private and intimate ceremony in the presence of their close friends and family in Texas.
Trouble in Paradise
After tying the knot, Cynthia quit all her job and started assisting her husband to pursue this professional baseball career. Only after two years of marriage, the couple moved to New York in 2004, when Rodriguez became a New York Yankee. Things went pretty good for the couple until the cheating rumors about Rodriguez started stirring up. For a couple of rumors, Cynthia supported her husband as a loving wife. A source told the Daily News “She always said he was not cheating on her. She always really believed in him,”.
However, the news got wild spread in 2007, when the photos of Rodriguez with a woman circulated yet Scurtis stood by her man. During that time, she even wore “a white tank top with ‘f**k you’ printed on the back” to Yankee Stadium. Many people even assumed that she was throwing shade to the media firestorm.

The petition also added A-Rod “emotionally abandoned his wife and children.” Ironically, the divorce papers were filed the day after A-Rod hit his 536th home run.
Child custody/Support
Being a mother, Scurtis herself asked for primary custody of the kids, alimony, child support. Also, she requested for the $12 million worth waterfront home in Coral Gables, Florida. Yet, for the A-Rod’s alleged infidelities, Scurtis took the high road by not publicly naming who was allegedly involved with her husband for the sake of her children. However, Madonna denied all the cheating rumors with A-Rod as she explained herself by saying, “I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez,”.
Controversial Issue
