Alex Rodriguez and his wife Cynthia have settled their multimillion-dollar divorce case.

"Cynthia and Alex Rodriguez have amicably resolved their dissolution of marriage proceedings," his lawyer, Alan Kluger, tells New York's Daily News. "They deliberately engaged in a private negotiation. This was and remains a personal family matter."

Details were not immediately disclosed.

In July - after more than four years of marriage - Cynthia filed for divorce, citing her husband's alleged infidelity. The filing came shortly after Us Weekly broke the news that the Yankees slugger had been paying late-night visits to Madonna's NYC apartment. (Madonna denied an affair, saying they were just friends.)

In her petition, Cynthia requested the couple's $12 million waterfront estate in Coral Gables, Fla., and "equitable distribution" of all assets acquired during the marriage (Alex reportedly made $28 million this season).

She also demanded alimony and child support for their daughters, Natasha, 3, and Ella, five months, and enough to pay for private schools so she and their two daughters can maintain the "high standard of living" they're used to.

Alex had countered that he was only willing to give her what was required in their pre-nup and threatened to make her pay his legal fees if she challenged and lost.
