Madison LeCroy and Alex Rodriguez Rumors: ‘Southern Charm’ Star Says They ‘Never Met Up’
Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy and Alex Rodriguez’s names have been recently linked together, but what’s it all about? ET is here to break it all down.
During a Southern Charm reunion, Craig Conover claimed that LeCroy “flew to Miami to f**k an ex-MLB player.” She instantly denied the allegations, saying, “Give me a name! Put me on a lie detector test. I never flew to Miami. Where’s the record of that? That’s fake.”
Tabloids then connected LeCroy to the former New York Yankee, who lives in Miami and is engaged to Jennifer Lopez. Reports also claimed that Rodriguez liked one of LeCroy’s Instagram posts months ago.
ET has reached out to LeCroy and Rodriguez’s rep for comment.
However, moderator Andy Cohen noted during the reunion that the athlete was a “married ex-MLB player,” which A-Rod is not. When pressed for details on her relationship with the athlete, LeCroy admitted, “He contacted me and, yes, we DM’d, but other than that, there was nothing — I’ve never physically seen him, touched him…”
“You guys FaceTime all the time, Madison!” her co-star, Austen Kroll, interjected, with LeCroy quipping, “I am not a f**king liar, and I will stand up for that. I’m sorry, I’m not lying.”
Then this week, Southern Charm star Danni Baird also weighed in on the alleged connection between LeCroy and Rodriguez. During an appearance on the Reality Life With Kate Casey podcast, she was asked what she thought when she heard the MLB player could be Rodriguez.
“Months before that… she had told me that they were FaceTiming or something,” Baird said without naming A-Rod. “And I just assumed. I never asked more about it or anything like that. So I just kind of forgot about it. It just didn’t tie in that he was a Major League Baseball player.”
LeCroy’s sister, Kaci Davis, also stood up for her, writing on an Instagram post, “ARod’s not married!”
There have been denials from (almost) both sides. A source tells ET, “Alex Rodriguez never met Madison and doesn’t know her.”
LeCroy then spoke out for the first time about the allegations on Wednesday, denying she had a relationship with Rodriguez. The reality star told Page Six she and the athlete “never met up,” but did claim they’ve “spoken on the phone.”
“That’s the truth,” she said, adding they’ve “never been physical… never had any kind of anything. Just an acquaintance.”
“He’s never physically cheated on his fiancée with me,” she continued, claiming that she’s “talked to him randomly, but not consistent.” While she did not go into detail about what they talked about or when the alleged calls took place, she said it was “innocent.”
“All this stuff was a year ago [but] it’s being aired now,” she said of the reunion special that brought this out. “I don’t know what to do. I have tried to be as quiet as possible. I don’t want anything bad for his family, or for mine. We are definitely innocent in this.”
Rodriguez has yet to comment on the matter.
LeCroy, however, does have a connection to another famous athlete, who is in the middle of a divorce: Jay Cutler.
The former NFL star and Kristin Cavallari split last April after 10 years together. He was then linked to LeCroy following his separation from the former
Just last month, LeCroy seemingly confirmed their rumored fling by sharing alleged texts between the two in which he appears to initiate a meeting between them and tells her he booked a flight to go see her in Nashville. Their conversation then took a sour turn with her claiming he used her and his intentions with her “were not pure.”
Tamar Braxton’s marriage to Vince Herbert has been a subject of public scrutiny for years. Many people have speculated that Tamar married Vince for his money, but as the couple’s story unfolds, it’s clear that their relationship was more complex than that. While their marriage did have its challenges, it’s important to separate fact from speculation.
One thing that stands out is the way Vince Herbert himself explained their relationship. He once stated that Tamar had her own money before meeting him. Contrary to what some believe,
This small but telling detail dispels the notion that their marriage was purely about financial gain. What makes their story even more significant is the fact that Vince never made Tamar sign a prenuptial agreement
. This speaks volumes about his trust in their relationship and his belief in their commitment to each other. Tamar, having the option to walk away from the marriage with everything in the divorce, chose instead to leave with nothing, a gesture that showed her love for Vince was genuine. Her choice to leave everything behind is a powerful reminder that sometimes love is about what you give, not what you take.
However, things didn’t remain perfect, and their marriage eventually began to suffer. As with many relationships, the challenges arose when they began mixing business with marriage. Vince, a well-known music executive, and Tamar, a rising star in her own right, were both heavily invested in their careers. Unfortunately, this blend of business and personal life put a strain on their relationship, and they found themselves struggling to maintain a balance.
It’s no secret that the pressures of the entertainment industry can create stress on even the strongest of relationships. Tamar and Vince’s story was no different, and their journey together is a testament to the complexities that come with fame, business, and personal lives intertwined. The constant media attention and the expectations placed on them added layers of difficulty to an already challenging relationship.
While their marriage ended in divorce, it’s important to recognize that their love for each other was real, even when things started to fall apart. The public’s view of Tamar and Vince’s relationship may have been clouded by rumors, but the truth remains that their bond began with love, and it ended because of the strains that come with mixing love and business.
Despite their differences and the ultimate breakdown of their marriage, Tamar and Vince’s story is a reminder that love is never as simple as it seems from the outside. There were real emotions, real challenges, and real sacrifices made. For Tamar, the lesson learned was that love and career need balance, and sometimes, walking away is the hardest, yet most necessary, decision.
