Jose Canseco once claimed Madonna "wanted to get married and have a child with" him

Madonna was one who pursued quite a few sportsmen back in the day, including Jose Canseco. Former Chicago Bulls power forward Dennis Rodman and New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez almost certainly top her list.

@TheWilderThings Dennis Rodman has something in common with Alex Rodriguez. They both dated Madonna many years ago. I believe Rodman-Madonna were a couple in 1994 and ARod-Madonna were a couple in 2008 and 2009. If that's ever a sports trivia on Jeopardy I'll sweep the topic and win the round!

Former Cuban-American MLB legend Canseco once opened up about how the pop music icon tried to lure him into a romantic affair even though, like his on-field nemesis Alex Rodriguez, he was married at the time.

Canseco went on to claim that Madonna yearned for another Cuban child, and suggested they get married to fulfill that desire.

"She had a Cuban child and wanted another one," Canseco told Us. "She wanted to get married and have a child with me - she wanted a Cuban child."

Former Oakland A's power hitter Canseco spilled the beans way back in 2008, in his biography "Vindicated."

Canseco also detailed an encounter with Madonna at her house in Hollywood Hills, mentioning that she even popped the 'What would you do if I kissed you?' question.

"We went downstairs [at her house in the Hollywood Hills] and she came over and said, 'What would you do if I kissed you?' and then sat on my lap and kissed me," Canseco concluded.
