Alex Rodriguez: Madonna and I Are "Just Friends"

Alex Rodriguez commented for the first time on his relationship with Madonna.

“We’re friends,” Rodriguez, 33, told People.

Asked if there is any romance between them at all, Rodriguez reiterates, “We’re friends – that’s it.”

He denies much of what’s been written them: “I’ve been to two [of her] concerts, yet I’ve read that I went to 20. I’ve also read that we were buying an apartment together. That is absolutely ridiculous and not true.”

“You have to have a sense of humor when it comes to this stuff,” Rodriguez adds.

Rodriguez answered these questions as part of his latest charitable efforts, where he is focused on helping run a baseball clinic for kids.

So.

Do you believe A-Rod?  Are these two single people more than just friends?
