The Many Times Alex Rodriguez Was Accused Of Cheating In Relationships

Cheating rumors against Alex Rodriguez resurfaced following his breakup with Jennifer Lopez. The two were one of the most high-profile couples in showbiz during their four-year run together. The MLB World Series champion sparked a romance with the Selena star after asking her out to dinner in 2017, via Harper's Bazaar. "I was having lunch somewhere and I saw him as he passed by," Lopez revealed during an appearance on The Ellen Show. "Afterwards, I went outside, and for some reason I felt like tapping him on the shoulder. He texted me, said, 'Let's go out to dinner,' and I said, 'OK.' We had a nice dinner."

Two years later, J. Lo took to Instagram to announce their engagement with a close-up of the gigantic diamond ring with which he proposed. "Jennifer is ecstatic and so are their families and friends," a source told People at the time. Over the course of their two-year engagement, the couple pushed their wedding date back due to the pandemic, via People. But, in March 2021, the couple called it quits before they ever got their chance to walk down the aisle. 

While neither party has officially confirmed their relationship status, inside sourcess claimed that A-Rod texting Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy played a huge part behind the scenes of the superstar's high-profile split, via Page Six. But it was not the first time the former New York Yankees player has been accused of cheating in a relationship. He actually has a history of adulterous behavior that dates back long before Madison stepped onto the scene.

Alex Rodriguez married Cynthia Scurtis in 2002 and welcomed their two daughters, Natasha and Ella, via CheatSheet. She filed for divorce, however, just three months after giving birth to Ella, citing Rodriguez's cheating as the reason. "The marriage of the parties is irretrievably broken because of the husband's extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct," the divorce documents read, via the Seattle Times. 

The New York Yankees legend was rumored to be hooking up with pop star Madonna, despite them both being married at the time. "The embarrassment over Madonna was the last straw," an insider told People in 2008. "She flew to Paris to get out of town before everything blew up between them." Now, in 2021, on the cusp of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, Rodriguez was outed for having private conversations with reality TV star Madison LeCroy on the Southern Charm reunion. 

"He contacted me and, yes, we DM'd, but other than that, there was nothing — I've never physically seen him, touched him," Madison claimed. "He's never physically cheated on his fiancée with me," she later told Page Six, adding, "I don't want anything bad for his family, or for mine. We are definitely innocent in this."

But the revelation seemingly inflicted further damage on A-Rod's already rocky relationship with J.Lo. "The Madison LeCroy scandal was the reason they finally broke up," a source told the outlet. "There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrassed by it." Hopefully, A-Rod takes this loss as a lesson learned.
