Madonna broke her silence today over rumors of an affair with Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez, insisting the two are not "romantically involved in any way." In a statement to PEOPLE magazine, the Material Girl also said she is "not planning" to divorce Guy Ritchie, her hubby of seven years. "My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce," Madonna, 49, said in the statement. "I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. "I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study," the statement reads. The future Hall of Famer dropped a marital bombshell on wife Cynthia three weeks after she gave birth to their second daughter, announcing their marriage was over, she has told friends. Rodriguez, 32, has been spotted making late-night visits to Madonna's West Side home - meetings Cynthia is telling friends have left her husband brainwashed by kabbala. The estranged couple has two children, 3-month-old Ella and 3-year-old Natasha. Cynthia Rodriguez, who has said she still loves her husband, remained in Paris today at singer Lenny Kravitz's mansion. Until today pop icon Madonna had addressed the talk of an affair only through her top agent, who has also denied that Madonna and Guy Ritchie were divorcing. Madonna also used the statement to address past rumors about her personal life and took a swat at the news media. "I have learned over the years not to take accusations and the many false reports about me very seriously. I also appreciate how fiction and fact seem to be perceived as one and the same by people who read both newspapers and the Internet," she said.
