( CNN ) -- The wife of New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez filed for divorce Monday morning in Florida 's Miami-Dade County Family Court . Lawyers representing Cynthia Rodriguez say she has officially filed for divorce from Yankees slugger A-Rod . The divorce filing said the marriage is `` irretrievably broken because of the husband 's extra-marital affairs and other marital misconduct . '' `` Alex has emotionally abandoned his wife and children and has left her with no choice but to divorce him , '' the petition said . Cynthia and Alex Rodriguez have two daughters together , Natasha and Ella . The split comes less than three months after the birth of the couple 's second daughter , according to The Associated Press . National newspapers and gossip magazines recently have covered the troubled marriage between Alex Rodriguez , one of professional baseball 's highest-paid stars , and his wife for weeks , chronicling rumors that both were having affairs . Reports have linked Alex Rodriguez , nicknamed A-Rod , with pop icon Madonna and Cynthia with rock star Lenny Kravitz . Both Madonna and Kravitz are denying the reports . Madonna 's representative released a statement to CNN on Monday denying the rumors . `` I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary , who manages both of us . I brought my kids to a Yankee game . I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex , '' the statement said . Representatives for Kravitz also released a statement Monday saying that he was helping Cynthia Rodriguez get through the grief of her failed marriage but was not romantically involved with her . `` There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself . This is unequivocally 100 % not true , '' the statement read . `` Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby , who is also Alex 's trainer , his wife and their baby girl . She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City . I opened my home to her as a friend , and I find it extremely hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer . '' Last year , the slugger was photographed out at night with a former Las Vegas stripper , sparking headlines like `` Stray-Rod '' in the New York Post . Rodriguez has been a lightning rod for praise and criticism during his 14-year professional baseball career . He has been an All-Star many times and has hit more than 500 home runs . Rodriguez also landed the most lucrative contract in baseball history with a $ 250 million-plus 10-year salary with the Texas Rangers in 2001 , which was extended by the Yankees . He was widely criticized for opting out of that contract during the 2007 World Series . The slugger later inked a new 10-year deal worth $ 275 million . The divorce filing also stated that `` the husband has the fiscal capacity to continue his high style of living , but the wife does not . '' Cynthia Rodriguez asked for alimony and child support in the petition but did not specify a dollar figure . See more about expensive celebrity divorces » .
