Cynthia Scurtis, 46, was born in the posh Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida, to one of the city’s most prominent religious families. Her grandfather, Demosthenes Mekras, was an influential Greek and priest who founded the first Greek Orthodox church in Miami, and she grew up in a church-going family.
Cynthia attended Ohio State University and was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. She graduated from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale with a master’s degree in psychology. Her father, John, an importer-exporter, and mother, Evangeline, always encouraged her athletic side from a young age, in addition to her excellent grades. Cynthia, who was an avid volleyball player in high school, stands at 5 feet and 6 inches tall (1.68 meters).
What is the net worth of Cynthia Scurtis?
As a result of her marriage, Cynthia had to give up her source of income. She had so much to leave as settlement when the union finally came to an end. Cynthia Scurtis’ net worth is estimated to be $12 million as a result of this. Except for the alimony she receives from her ex-husband, she has no other source of income. The ex-baseball player is said to be paying her a tax-free $115,000 in child support.
What’s happening in Cynthia Scurtis’s married life with Alex Rodriguez?
Cynthia, with her romantic involvement with the dreamy-eyed Alex Rodriguez aka A-rod, a former New York Yankees player, drew a lot of media and public attention to herself. On a routine day in 1996, Cynthia was sweating profusely in the Body and Soul Gym in Miami when the then-hotshot Seattle Mariner shortstop approached her.
His celebrity and meticulously sculpted abs and muscles didn’t sway her. Regardless, she developed a lovely friendship with him, which eventually blossomed into a lovely courtship. Six years after their first meeting, Alex proposed to Cynthia over dinner at a South Beach restaurant on December 28, 2002, as Cynthia blew out her 30th birthday candle.
Despite Cynthia’s family’s initial opposition to her relationship with the non-Greek A-rod, the two married in a Dallas wedding officiated by Cynthia’s grandfather. Cynthia quit her job as a pretrial counselor, where she assisted people in staying out of prison, to travel with Alex full-time.
Unfortunately, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a happily-ever-after marriage. Cynthia filed for divorce in 2008 after the marriage did not work out, and the divorce was messy. She filed a petition for dissolution of marriage, alleging extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct on her husband’s part.
