Alex Rodriguez asks wife for a divorce to be with "spiritual soulmate" Madonna?

The 34-year-old sportsman allegedly told his wife Cynthia he wanted to end
their five-year marriage because Madonna - whose marriage to Guy Ritchie is
also said to be on the rocks - is his "spiritual soulmate".
A source close to Alex - who was seen without his wedding ring earlier this
week - told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Alex said he and Madonna are
spiritual soulmates, and she has helped introduce him to Kabbalah."
Cynthia is now said to have fled to France to stay with musician Lenny
Kravitz, a close family friend.
The source added: "In recent weeks, Alex has remained in New York while
Cynthia has been at their mansion in Miami. She went to Paris after Lenny
offered a shoulder to cry on over her split. Cynthia is devastated and
needed to get away."
According to a family friend, "tearful" Cynthia believes Madonna
brain-washed Alex.
The pal told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Cynthia said, 'I feel like
Madonna is using mind control over him. I don't recognize the man he has
become.' "
Alex - who last year was rumored to be having an affair with a stripper -
is said to have become friendly with Madonna, 49, after they met at a gym.
