The pop queen speaketh: Madonna released a statement to PEOPLE, setting the record straight about the Guy Ritchie divorce rumors (they’re not) and the alleged affair with Yankee’s Alex Rodriguez (she didn’t).

Here’s Madonna’s statement:
“My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study.”

“I have learned over the years not to take accusations and the many false reports about me very seriously. I also appreciate how fiction and fact seem to be perceived as one and the same by people who read both newspapers and the internet.”
