Alex Rodriguez's ex-wife once claimed therapy was the key to his athletic brilliance

On May 25, 2005, Alex Rodriguez attended a Children's Aid Society in Washington Heights with his then-wife Cynthia Scurtis. They talked to the children and gave their valuable insights on life. Alex told the children a lot of stories from his childhood and how he was abandoned by his own father. Alex's ex-wife Cynthia was a great support for him throughout his sports journey.

She's a major in psychology and hence went on to say that the reason behind Alex's brilliance on the field was because of therapy. He had taken therapy for a year and had been doing really great. She encouraged everyone to try out the same as well.

​

Cynthia said. "It’s because of therapeutic intervention that he’s been able to flourish as a person."

Even though things didn't workout between A-Rod and Cynthia, they are still co-parents and good friends. Following his divorce, Rodriguez went on to date celebrities Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, IT CEO Anne Wojcicki and Jennifer Lopez.
