Washington, Nov 26 : Despite reports, sportstar Alex Rodriguez will reportedly be celebrating Thanksgiving with his wife, Cynthia, and their two kids - not 'lover' Madonna.

Two days before, the New York Post had reported - citing Access Hollywood - that Cynthia in an email to friends slammed her ex for "abandoning his kids on Thanksgiving to be with Madonna ...She called and he ran on her command back to New York City...Gross!"

However, a source close to the Yankee slugger -who split from his wife this summer - told Usmagazine.com that the reports were 'untrue'.

"It's not true. I spoke to her this morning. He's going to be with Cynthia and her entire family for Thanksgiving, and this has been planned for months," the source said.

"It's quite a big celebration. They have a large family get together every year," the source added.

"It was always his intention to go to the family get together with her family, and it includes a whole array of relatives," the insider added.

Plus, "he's not even in New York," where Madonna lives, the insider said.
