A-Rod Denies Fling with 'Friend' Madonna

Alex Rodriguez had every intention of speaking to People about the charitable baseball clinic for children that he runs. Instead, he found himself answering pointed questions about his alleged romance with the recently-divorced Madonna.

"We're friends," the New York Yankees star, 33, says. He then clarifies by adding, "We're friends—that's it."

Early last week there were rumors that Madonna, 50, and Rodriguez flew to Miami together for Thanksgiving. As well, photos surfaced that were shot from far away, said to be of the pair.

But A-Rod is knocking down speculation on that subject. "I can tell you this: I have never been on a plane with her."

Both Rodriguez and Madge share the same manager, Guy Oseary.

If indeed there is nothing romantic going on between the two, the Oseary connection could explain why the pair seem to so often cross paths.

"I've been to two [of her] concerts, yet I've read that I went to 20," A-Rod clarifies. "I've also read that we were buying an apartment together. That is absolutely ridiculous and not true. You have to have a sense of humor when it comes to this stuff."

Well, here's hoping Alex's wife Cynthia, 36, and daughters Nathasha, 4, and Ella, 1, are still laughing.

“This whole "just friends" theory is highly believable. Because the list of Madonna's platonic straight male friends is quite extensive indeed.”

“A-Rod also says that both he and Madge share a passion for charity; she for Raising Malawi and he for the Boys and Girls club.

Yup, you guys are totally doing it.”

“It only seems like common sense that if someone asks you if you ever had sex with Madonna, you would say no.”
