Former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has always found himself in the spotlight. While 50% of it was because of his talent in baseball, the rest was due to his high-profile affairs. From Madonna to Jennifer Lopez, Rodriguez has been in the news with various celebrities, with a dating history nearly as long as his career. However, among these famous celebrities was one intellectual Silicon Valley tycoon , Anne Wojcicki, whom the former baseball player dated for just over a year.
Why did Alex Rodriguez break up with Anne Wojcicki? Are they still friends? What happened a decade ago that fans still talk about this unusual pair? We have the details here.

Anne Wojcicki’s mother on Alex Rodriguez not being the perfect match for her daughterThough the couple raised a lot of questions due to their different professions, they did share some good moments before calling it quits in February 2017. Apparently, Anne had only good words for Alex Rodriguez, calling him a sweet and smart person.
“Alex is a really sweet guy. He’s a smart guy. He’s a good person,” confessed Wojcicki post break up with the Yankees star. However, the tech tycoon’s mother had a different view on the relationship.
“I liked A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez); he was a very nice man. He seemed to be genuinely in love with Anne. But I figured out right away that this was a mismatch. He had no academic background. We couldn’t have an intellectual conversation about anything,” stated Esther Wojcicki.
It is well-known that Rodriguez was straight away drafted by the Mariners after his high school graduation, leaving him no time to think about anything other than baseball.
On the other hand, Anne Wojcicki got her degree in Biology from Yale, after which she worked in various companies as a researcher and finally co-founded 23andMe.
Though the couple was poles apart, they did have a good relationship, which is why they are still friends. Both Rodriguez and Wojcicki cross paths in common circles and are seen to be quite amicable with each other.
