Madonna and New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez took in a cozy dinner for two at Dos Caminos Third Avenue on Tuesday a source told Usmagazine.com.
They pair ate at an alcove-like table in the back.
“They seemed very close,” a source told Usmagazine.com.
Rodriguez, who has donated money to her charity Raising Malawi, has yet to discuss the extent of his relationship with Madonna.
Rodriguez and his wife Cynthia settled their divorce in September.
Cynthia’s attorney, Earle Lilly, told Us that Rodriguez had an “affair of the heart” with Madonna.
In July – after more than four years of marriage – Cynthia filed for divorce, citing her husband’s alleged infidelity. The filing came shortly after Us Weekly broke the news that the slugger had been paying late-night visits to Madonna’s NYC apartment. (Madonna, who is married to Guy Richie, denied an affair, saying they were just friends.)
Their relationship came to light, a week after The Times of London reported that Madonna met with high-powered British divorce attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney in his split from Heather Mills.
According to The Times, Ritchie met with a lesser-known law firm, Forsters.
Rodriguez was smitten with Madonna six months before the scandal broke.
“He [said] he was in love her,” a friend of A-Rod recalled to Us.
By February, A-Rod had upped the ante. “”He said, ‘She’s my f–king soulmate, dude,'” the friend said.
