From Kate Hudson to Jennifer Lopez: Looking back at the dating life of Alex Rodriguez
Former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has had a slew of romantic affairs since his 2008 divorce from ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis. Cynthia and Alex have two daughters, Natasha and Ella.
Here's a rundown of Alex's dating timeline.
Alex Rodriguez & Madonna
Per the rumor mill, Alex Rodriguez was involved in a fling with the Queen of Pop, Madonna. Alex and Cynthia Scurtis' marriage ended in 2008 when suspicions of an affair started circulating. However, Madonna and Rodriguez have not publicly acknowledged their relationship.
I occasionally think about how Alex Rodriguez has gone from being viewed as "disgraced, cheating baseball player who dated Madonna" to "beloved broadcaster and successful businessman engaged to Jennifer Lopez." The transformation in such a short time is incredible.

The relationship between Alex and Madonna was one of the hottest gossips back in 2008.
Alex & Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Frankel, a member of "The Real Housewives of New York City," dated Alex around the beginning of 2009. On "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" in 2017, Bethenny admitted to going out with Alex.
After Andy asked whether she was romantically involved with Alex, Bethenny said:
"What is used to date mean? I went out with him on two dates.”

Alex and Cameron Diaz met at a pre-Super Bowl party in February 2010. During their short affair, a video of Diaz feeding popcorn to Rodriguez during Super Bowl XLV in February 2011 became the talk of the town.
Here's what Rodriguez said about Diaz in an interview with "The Insider":
"I don't like talking about my relationships. But I will tell you about CD: She's probably one of the greatest human beings I've ever met, and just an amazing light."
Nevertheless, the pair split up in June 2011.
Alex and Torrie Wilson
After several short-lived relationships, Rodriguez got involved in a long-term relationship with WWE star Torrie Wilson late in 2011. Alex and Torrie went separate ways three years later.
