Madonna unofficially confirms relationship with "A-Rod"

BEIJING, Nov. 29 -- Madonna unofficially confirmed
her relationship with Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez at her show, media reported
Saturday.

The 50-year-old singer - who was first romantically
linked to the New York Yankees baseball star in July - smiled at Alex as he
passed her a bottle of water from his seat in the front row of Miami's Dolphin
Stadium.

A source said: "It was easy for him to hand it to her
because he was sitting in the front row. He was all excited watching her
perform."

The first photograph of Madonna - whose divorce from
Guy Ritchie legally was granted last week - and Alex was revealed Thursday.

Madonna was spotted leaving a private plane in Miami,
Florida, on Tuesday morning seconds after baseball player Alex.

Earlier this week, it was claimed Alex is planning to
spend U.S. public holiday Thanksgiving with Madonna and her three children,
Lourdes, Rocco and David.

Alex's former wife Cynthia - who has two children
with the baseball star - reportedly wrote in an email: "My 6ft, 3in, 220lbs
soulless, soon-to-be ex-husband is abandoning his kids on Thanksgiving to be
with Madonna. She called and he ran on her command back to New York City -
gross!"

However, Alex's representative has denied the claims,
insisting he will be spending the festive holiday with his family.
