Do wealthy celebrities and athletes get divorced more often than the rest of us? Sure seems like it. The Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez, and his wife, Cynthia, have announced their separation after six years of marriage. She gave birth to their daughter Ella in Miami just this last April. Ella joins their first daughter, Natasha, 3.

Cynthia has been licking her wounds with Lenny Kravitz, a friend represented by the same agent, in Paris. No hanky-panky there, Kravitz says, just a shoulder to lean on. You go, girl! And A-Rod has been said to share an interest in, shall we say kabbalah, with the Material Girl herself, who is or is not separated from her husband, Guy Ritchie.

Meanwhile, we’ve had Kobe Bryant splitting with Vanessa, Michael Jordan splitting with Juanita, Jason Kidd splitting with Joumana, Dwayne Wade splitting with Siohvaughn. Bill Murray, Robin Williams, Reese Witherspoon. Hmmm, what do athlete couples and actor couples have in common?

They are beautiful physically, and/or celebrities.
They spend a lot of time away from home, usually without their spouses.
They have oodles of money, and extra time on their hands.

Most women can’t do anything about changing No. 1 and No. 3. But, girlfriend, if your husband is away from home a lot, you might check out the 2006 book “THE SCRIPT: The 100% Absolutely Predictable Things Men Do When They Cheat.”

Or if you really want to feed your suspicions, try the 2002 book “Is He Cheating on You: 829 Telltale Signs,” which includes, among other things, 27 signs about travel and 39 signs about absences.
