Elegant says he had not reviewed the divorce petition but added: “As you know, anyone can pay the filing fee and make allegations.” Richard Rubenstein, a spokesman for Rodriguez, also declined to address to allegations of infidelity. He said will bring up these issues in court.

“His priorities are to have a future with his children and be a big part of their lives,” clarifies Rubenstein. Cynthia Rodriguez has demanded primary custody of their two children Nathasha Alexander, 3, and 2-month-old Ella Alexander. She also has asked for child support and alimony.
