According to Alex Rodriguez, his daughters are his number one priority “and always will be.”
The former baseball star drove the point home while responding to a recent report from The New York Daily News claiming he has been threatening to cut his monthly child support payments for his two daughters to “send a message” to his ex-brother-in-law in their ongoing legal battle.
Rodriguez shares two daughters, Natasha, 13, and Ella, 9, with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis. Several years ago, Cynthia’s younger brother, Constantine Scurtis, filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the baseball pro to accuse Rodriguez of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, civil conspiracy among other claims involving their once-shared real estate company.
“I have an email from [Rodriguez] telling me that he’s basically making me pay for not stopping you and [not] telling you that I hate you,” Cynthia allegedly texted to her brother, according to the new New York Daily News report.
