Alex Rodriquez, also known as A-Rod, Madonna’s new boyfriend, has reportedly dropped Kabbalah. Madonna, a dedicated follower of Kabbalah (an off-shoot of Judaism), had also failed to interest her second ex-husband Guy Ritchie (Madonna has also been married to actor Sean Penn) in the religion which he called “weird” and “hokum”. Alex Rodriguez’s indifference has made Madonna rethink the status of their relationship.

According to an insider, “This is certainly off-putting to Madonna. She did drag Guy into Kabbalah, she’s doing the same with Alex. But he’s bored. He’s basically a Kabbalah dropout.” Another insider from the New York Kabbalah Center (where Madonna and Alex Rodriguez have been taking lessons privately) added, “He hasn’t even finished Kabbalah 1 (the introduction to Kabbalah) and the majority of the time he spent with Yardeni so far was for counseling, not study.”

This happened despite the fact that Alex Rodriguez, who has also just recently split from wife Cynthia Rodriguez, had mentioned to a friend that he felt that Madonna was his “f*%king soulmate, dude.”

Madonna has told the press that she’s being kept busy by her “Sticky and Sweet” tour, so she’s been too distracted to focus on her personal life. She said, “It would be horrible if I was just thinking about getting a divorce and had nothing to do.” Madonna, who has three children, has also mentioned that she feels grateful for having such a successful career and said, “I’m sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life.”

On the other hand, Madonna’s relationship with her ex-husband Sean Penn seems to be quite good compared to her other rocky relationships. They’ve been spotted together in the New York area, specifically at the Greenwich Hotel where they drank after one of her concerts. It has been reported that Sean has been helping Madonna emotionally. However, it seems that the old flame will not be rekindled since an insider noted, “They have a nice rapport. There’s nothing romantic there. They’re just good friends.”

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are great couple and brilliant parents but they just couldn’t live together. Despite huge attempts to patch things up, they both knew deep down that divorce was in the cards.

According to the reports that claim Guy and Madonna want a divorce finalized by Christmas, though they haven’t agreed to a settlement yet. Madonna and Ritchie (who some say may net $100 million in a settlement).

Monday (October 13), hosted by the Cinema Society and Dolce & Gabbana, Madonna showed off her own skills with the premiere of her directorial debut “Filth and Wisdom” - a schizophrenic comedy about three crazy flatmates living desperate lives in London, England. It is scheduled to hit theaters this Friday, October 17th. With a warm welcome of celebrities, fans, and friends, Madonna arrived at the Landmark Sunshine Theatre in New York City.
