A-ROD BENCHES CAMERON DIAZ

It may be no surprise to some by now, but it seems that Alex Rodriguez has broken things off with Cameron Diaz. According to my sources, it would appear that the breakup came as somewhat of a surprise to Diaz, who’s been dating Alex (again) for almost a year. No explanation has been offered by either camp as to why A-Rod called it off . For some reason, though, the breakup seems to be getting much less publicity than the now-infamous “Cameron feeds A-Rod popcorn” photos. Other articles have even been joking about it, but truthfully, I don’t think it’s fair to either Alex or Cameron to do so. Relationships are hard, and I suspect even more difficult to maintain with the schedules that Hollywood/MLB megastars have to deal with.

Reports say that Cameron is feeling “hurt and betrayed” over the split. Friends close to her say that she was very dedicated to her relationship with the Yankees slugger; she met his children, and even moved her home closer to Miami to be near him. One friend of Cameron’s is quoted as saying that she “went overboard” for Alex.

We’ve all seen the photos of the couple canoodling in Mexico, and just about everywhere else they were seen together. We’ve also seen hardcore athlete and in-shape Diaz working out with Alex during Spring Training. It seemed, through photographical accounts that this couple worked hard, played hard, and were very close to one another.

You may remember from an earlier blog I wrote titled WHY THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT CAMERON , I really liked Alex and Cameron as a team. She seemed real, down-to-earth, and supportive of Alex’s career. She’s very different than the “Real Housewives” style of significant other that we’re used to seeing with professional baseball players. She seemed far less distracting and high maintenance as some of the other girlfriends/wives we’ve heard about.Recently, Diaz came under fire from religious leaders and advocates for marriage comments she made about her relationship with Alex, where she indicated that there was no need for marriage in their relationship, and that marriage in an “outdated” institution. This made some headlines last week, and now the couple has ended the relationship. Is there a connection? We don’t know. Neither Cameron nor Alex has commented publically about the split, and because they both seem to be fairly private people, we may never know.

It also seems that Alex seems to be hitting better as of late. I don’t know if there’s a connection there either, but since everyone seemed to give Kate Hudson credit for Alex’s monster stats when he was dating her, it is a point to ponder.Although it’s been made evident that Alex is the one who called off the relationship, let’s not bash him just yet. We can all speculate and assume what the reason was that led him to call it off. The one thing we do know for sure is this; A-Rod likes slim, blonde, and gorgeous women. There will be no shortage of candidates for him to fill Cameron’s spot on the roster. One report I read even suggested that Alex is already collecting phone numbers to fill in the void. But, what about Diaz? I wonder if she’ll remain a Yankees fan after the breakup. As far as I’m concerned, once a fan, always a fan, and this is one Yankee Lady that will always consider her as a part of the family.
