Rodriguez's wife Cynthia filed for divorce in July (08) following ongoing speculation the New York Yankees star was secretly dating the pop superstar. Both denied the allegations.

Cynthia blamed her husband's "long period of infidelity" for wrecking their marriage, and accused him of "emotionally abandoning" her and their children.

In her divorce petition, Cynthia Rodriguez demanded the couple's $12 million (GBP6.6 million) waterfront estate in Coral Gables, Florida.

On Thursday (18Sep08), the former couple announced it had finally settled the multimillion-dollar divorce case - but details of the settlement have not been made public.

Alex Rodriguez's attorney, Alan Kluger, tells the New York Daily News, "Cynthia and Alex Rodriguez have amicably resolved their dissolution of marriage proceedings.

"They deliberately engaged in a private negotiation. This was and remains a personal family matter for both of them.

"All of their decisions were based upon, and guided by, the best interests of their daughters."

The couple married in 2002. They have two daughters, Natasha, three, and Ella, five months.
