Madonna house-hunts with Rodriguez

MADONNA has been reportedly shopping for a new home with her "special friend" Alex Rodriguez.

According to the New York Post, the singer and the baseball star have been looking on Manhattan's Upper East Side according to property sources.

An estate agent told the paper: "Madonna personally came to look at one house a couple of months ago, and Alex has been looking recently.

"They are discreetly looking at properties between Fifth and Park Avenues, from just above 60th Street through the 80s. We're talking about private, double-width mansions in the vicinity of $30 million to $60 million (£19m-£39m)

The Material Girl and the romeo baseball player are also said to be only interested in scoring a house "with a garage that you can drive into for additional privacy - although those are rare and hard to come by in New York",

They are also reportedly looking for another home in The Hamptons, the seaside playground for New York's rich and famous.

Madonna's spokeswoman was not available for comment but Rodriguez's spokesperson denied the two were looking for a home.
