PHOTO: Alex Rodriguez balances busy NYC schedule with quality time for daughter Natasha
Yankees former ace infielder Alex Rodriguez has transformed himself into a business magnate since hanging up his cleats in 2016. While A-Rod is usually in and out of meetings or increasing his inventory portfolio, he still finds time to spend some quality moments with his daughters Natasha and Ella.
On Saturday, Alex posted an image on his Instagram story showcasing him balancing his busy schedule while spending some quality time with his eldest daughter Natasha in New York City. A-Rod captioned the story as:
"Special guest: @thenatasharodriguez."
Alex Rodriguez exchanged vows with his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis in 2002, but they parted ways in 2008. From their marriage, they bore two daughters together: Natasha, who was born on November 18, 2004, and Ella, who was born on April 21, 2008.
Despite getting a divorce, the duo settled their differences over time and agreed to co-parent both kids. The elder one goes by the nickname Tashi and moved to the University of Michigan to pursue a degree in music last year in August. Talking about the similarities that Natasha bears with him in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in April, Alex Rodriguez said:
"She has a sense of friends and which bus to take, as well as her gym and which Starbucks [to go to]. So she's very much like me. She's very routine-oriented. I feel like she's in a good place right now."
A-Rod is close to both his daughters and is mostly observed spending his off days spending time with them. His daughters are now even close to Jaclyn Cordeiro, the fitness model/instructor from Windsor, Canada with whom he is currently in a relationship.
Natasha and Ella surprised Alex Rodriguez during a Timberwolves game in May
Alex Rodriguez owns a major stake in the Minnesota franchises, both in the NBA and the WNBA. The Timberwolves impressed the masses in the recently concluded NBA season by reaching the Western Conference Finals.
During Game 3 of the WCF against the Mavericks at home in Target Center, A-Rod received a surprise from both his daughters as he geared up to watch the game from the courtside seats.
