-Rod's wife, Cynthia, has been shacked up with rocker Lenny Kravitz in Paris.
The couple's two daughters — 3-year-old Natasha and 2-month-old Ella — remained in Miami, sources said.
The stunning news emerged a day after revelations that Alex Rodriguez has been paying late-night visits to Madonna's Upper West Side apartment.
The game of musical celebrity beds has effectively ended the randy Rodriguez's already-shaky marriage, even though divorce papers have not been filed, sources said.
Cynthia Rodriguez, 34, has been in Paris for at least the past four days visiting Grammy-winner Kravitz.
C-Rod was seen outside the 44-year-old Kravitz's pad in the romantic City of Light as recently as Tuesday night.
Kravitz issued a statement of denial Thursday.

Rome ping?
No. Lenny Kravitz is not now, and never has been, a "rock star".
I would say that the only place that Lenny might be a star....is New York City. If he tried to have a concert in Texas, Alabama or Missouri....there would be less than 300 folks show up. It amazes me that radio stations will put his new tunes on....with zero local interest....and try to jump-start this guy’s album sales each time a new one comes out.
I watched a German TV interview last year with Lenny...and it was pretty hard to get the jest of any of his answers. I’m reminded of some pothead who just accidentally made it in life.
Madonna???
Good Lord . . . how desperate.
Penicillin for A-Rod. And a mental exam.
Yeah, but can Kravitz hit the curve ball?
But he plays one on TV.
Who cares?
Ask me if I really care.
And there have always been rumours that Madonna has slept with Kravitz. EEK.
Just like that Winehouse tragedy.
I agree. I really wanted to like the guy. I saw him open for the Heartbreakers back in the late 1980s or early 90s and he was really nice to us before the show. As always, we went early to the Forum parked by Tom Petty's buses, hoping to see our hero Mike Campbell. Kravitz had to keep walking by where we were hanging out in our van. He said hello each time he passed, carrying his own gear. It became a little joke and we had increasing fun with him each time he passed by. We really hoped we would like his music but it was so uninspiring. I saw him another time at the Santa Barbara Bowl, and same thing. He seemed like a guy dressed up as a rock star. He isn't a bad guitar player, but there just isn't anything special there.
Why do any of these types even bother to get married? They must enjoy paying the inevitable divorce lawyer bills.
Now I agree that Winehouse is a tragedy on a personal level but I would much rather go see her live than Lenny Kravitz. She has a little sumpthin. I like "No No No".
A-rod... not much better: shacking up with Madonna dog (better get himself a Hartz collar to protect from the flea infestation).
Didn’t Nicole Kidman date this guy?
A mother who leaves a 2 1/2 month-old to go cat around in Europe?
If true, yikes.
(I always figured thay had an “open marriage” or were swingers or something. Feel sorry for their kids. The wealth can’t compensate for the damage these two will do.)
Yep. She did. I think they’ve all been with each other....ish.
Another source.... as if we care!
Cynthia Rodriguez’s mother, Evangeline Scurtis, also denied a gossip Web site report that her daughter had gone on a romantic getaway with rocker Lenny Kravitz in Paris.
“She is not! I know that,” Scurtis told The Daily News.
Kravitz issued a statement of denial Thursday.
“Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby, who is also Alex’s trainer, his wife and their baby girl. She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City,” he said. “I opened my home to her as a friend and I find it extremely hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer.”
I would agree...maybe if the guy was part of some decent group....he might be better....but as the “loner”....he just isn’t getting much attention unless its in New York City or appearing on Saturday Night Live. Its kinda funny how you can be a rock star in New York and a total failure outside of NY City.
I had a conversation one time with a former professional athlete on this subject. He told me that unless the guy is a serious Christian, you can be assured he has honey pots all around the country. Even if the athlete doesn't have a date lined up, all he has to do is go to the hotel bar and there is plenty of talent "on-deck" just waiting for an available athlete. He also told me that the athletes' wives are quite aware of the situation and generally accept it as part of the package of having a famous athlete for a husband. (I found the last part to be the saddest.)
BTW, the guy I spoke to would qualify as a serious Christian.
I can’t think of a single original song worth anything.
My dentist's office manager always teases me because I am their most "famous patient" because I am well known around my community for various activities and events in which I am involved. She called last week and said, "You are no longer our most famous patient" and went on to breach the confidentiality of a well known jazz player.
I told her I had heard of the jazz player but if she went out in front of her office and asked the first 10 people she sees if they had heard of either of us. I predicted I would be recognized by all 10 and the jazz player would be lucky if a single person knew who he was.
We are all famous in our home town.
I was just trying to recall Lenny's one hit...a cover of American Girl? Dang...I'm drawing a blank...what was the song? But he has never written anything worth talking about.
I suspect that we will be seeing lots of lenny and Alicia Keyes, Halle Berry, Mariah Carey, and Soledad O’brian. They are bi-racial like Obambi. They all seem to embrace their African heritage at the expense of the other for personal or career reasons.
Lenny’s paternal grandfather was a Korean War hero who won the Distingushed Service Cross, but Lenny, of course, identifies with his mother’s Bahamian roots.
It was a cover of American Woman by the Guess Who.
Thank you. That Tom Petty story gave me an American Girl bias.
We are all famous in our home town.

Nah, I an just famous in my own mind.
And a Happy Fourth (almost) to you...fellow Nero...
What is up with Mr. and Mrs. A-Rod? She trades up in age for a 44 year old and he goes for Madonna who is what...old enough for Medicaid? Are there no groupies left in NYC who don’t order from the Seniors portion menus? Geesh...I mean Madonna?
Ping.
Madonna? Good grief. A-Rod would probably need a titanium condom.
What an unlikely couple. I wonder if it’s because no one else has the cajones to ask some of these women out so they just hook up with whoever asks.
Give A-Rod credit, Madge is a bigger name and more stable than than Roger Steroid’s Mindy McCready or whatever the has been name’s was.
I can still remember the first time I heard the original version of that song. Loved it.
As the Cheap Trick song taught me....
"Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you. She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
All three of these stars (Madonna, A-Rod, and Kravitz) share the same manager.
Is it just coincidence they are shacking with each other?
Or is it more likely that they are all part of a massive pr campaign?
Oh yeah...Guy Ritchie is managed by him too...make that four.
Madonna needs to sell records, Guy has a new movie coming out.
Is Kravitz coming out with something new?
Does A-Rod have a book deal or something like that cooking?
ARod was a skinny small boned almost petite looking young man back in his Seattle days....he’s put on too much bulk for it to be “diet” or “exercize”....
why does it have to be a “serious Christian”?....serious Jews and Muslims are supposed to be faithful to their wives as well....
And it's resistant to penicillin.
“Lenny’s paternal grandfather was a Korean War hero who won the Distingushed Service Cross, but Lenny, of course, identifies with his mother’s Bahamian roots.”
Because if he didn’t, he would be labeled a “sell-out” and lose the limited audience he has in New York.
