Madonna buys Christmas gift for Alex Rodriguez's children

London, Dec 5 (IANS) Baseball star Alex Rodriguez and pop star Madonna are being spotted together a lot more these days and the latest is that the 50-year-old singer has bought Christmas gifts for Alex's two children.

Mirror.co.uk reports a friend saying: 'Madge (Madonna) is so comfortable in the parental role. She also knows how happy it makes Alex when she shows her nurturing side. She picked up a little red Burberry wool coat and a little black Burberry dress for Natasha.

'She knew Alex will recognise the brand, even if Natasha just thinks it's pretty. And for Ella, she ordered a round crib from Bonne Nuit and one of their tables. Alex appreciates it when someone makes an effort and goes out of their way.'

The two still claim that they are just friends, but they have been spotted in Mexico City at the weekend. A-Rod himself was there but supposedly for a business meeting at a sports centre. He was also present in Miami where he was spotted passing her bottles of water.
