Kravitz Joins Madonna in Ramming A-Rod Rumors

Rocker says he and A-Rod's wife, Cynthia, are just friends; she's staying in his Paris pad in wake of split

What a tangled web we weave when first we talk about Madonna's men.

While the Queen of Pop, fresh off a happy and photo op-ready reunion with hubby Guy Ritchie, already took pains to disavow anything more than a platonic relationship between herself and Yankee star Alex Rodriguez, a blast from Madge's past is joining in the denial act, this time concerning a rumored relationship with Rodriguez's suddenly estranged wife.

"There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself," Lenny Kravitz said in a statement today. "This is unequivocally 100 percent not true."

The denial comes in the wake of a story in the New York Post claiming the fairer Rodriguez had no problem going Kravitz's way and that the duo had spent the past four days getting cozy in Paris.

Cynthia is a friend and is here with Alex's trainer [her baby's godfather], his wife and their baby girl. She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City," said Kravitz.

"I opened my home to her as a friend and I find it extrememly hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer."

It was reported by the New York Daily News this week that the Rodriguezes separated after five and a half years of marriage, and just three months after the birth of their second daughter.

As is the way with the pop-culture universe, all roads still manage to lead back to Madonna: She and Kravitz were rumored to be an item in the early '90s, when the rocker wrote and produced her single, "Justify My Love."
