Alex Rodriguez, the baseball star romantically linked to Madonna, has reportedly asked his wife for a divorce.
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."
