Madonna’s brother has expressed his belief that she will try to save her marriage to Guy Ritchie.

Christopher Ciccone said she is “not the kind of person to walk away” while being interviewed on Good Morning America.

Reports have claimed the Madonna/Ritchie marriage is on the rocks and that divorce is likely.

Madonna’s spokesperson has denied the divorce rumors and now her brother has spoken of his belief of their commitment to each other.

“I believe that she will do what’s best for her family and her kids, and I think that she’ll do her best to maintain the marriage and keep it going,” Ciccone said.

He also said he thinks it is “highly unlikely” that Madonna is behind the break-up of baseball player Alex Rodriguez and his wife Cynthia.

“I doubt this is actually an affair… I’m sure she had nothing to do with the break-up of their marriage. It seemed absurd to me, truly, I don’t believe it.”

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have attempted to dispel rumors their marriage is in trouble – by stepping out in New York with their children to attend Kabbalah services.

The couple has been under intense media scrutiny amid rumors they are on the verge of a divorce.

But the pair – accompanied by children Lourdes, 11; Rocco, seven; and David, two – put on a show of unity after arriving together at the Kabbalah Center in New York City on Saturday.

During the ceremony, the singer sat with the kids on the women’s side of the aisle, apart from her filmmaker husband, a custom in the religion’s worship tradition.

Earlier this week, Madonna’s publicist Liz Rosenberg issued a statement denying the pair is filing for a legal separation.

The same day news of her relationship with New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez spread, Madonna stepped out holding hands with husband Guy Ritchie in New York City.

Looking tense, Ritchie, 39, carried the singer’s over-sized Louis Vuitton bag as they headed into her Central Park West apartment following dinner Tuesday night. Madonna, 49, who appeared exhausted, covered her mouth.

The two usually enter their building through a side door but walked through the front door for photographers.

The couple — who were last photographed together June 3 after dining at Italian eatery Locanda Locatelli in London — have been dogged by split rumors lately.

The venerable Times of London reported that the singer consulted the same high-profile divorce attorney who worked with Paul McCartney and Prince Charles.

Us Weekly also reports that the singer has also been hosting late-night visits from Rodriguez, 32, at her apartment.

A source tells Us that their relationship grew so close, he he even visited her, possibly as early as the night after his wife Cynthia gave birth to their first child in April.

Despite Madonna’s rep downplaying their relationship, it is clear that the singer and ballplayer have gotten tight.

Rodriguez — who shares the same manager, Guy Osery, as Madonna — hit an after-party for Richie’s film Revolver.

They also dined together — along with Osery — February 17 at Girgio Baldi in Santa Monica.

That same month, Madonna even introduced Rodriguez to her daughter Lourdes at a United Nations benefit for her Raising Malawi charity and UNICEF.

“This is Alex,” she said to Lourdes, New York’s Daily News reports. “He’s a baseball player.”

“Maybe you can come and see me play sometime,” he told an unimpressed Lourdes.

“She’s not that into baseball,” Madonna replied.

Rodriguez also attended her concert at Roseland Ballroom in April and later tried to dirty dance with her at NYC hot spot The Box.

On June 22, Madonna, her kids and Osery all sat in Rodriguez’s Yankee Stadium box seats during a game against the Boston Red Sox.

Madonna’s spokeswoman has released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE rejecting reports that the singer’s marriage to her film director husband Guy Ritchie is on the rocks.

“Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving),” Liz Rosenberg told PEOPLE. “There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.”

Rosenberg also denied a published report of a relationship between the singer and New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.

“Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary,” Rosenberg says. “They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There’s really not anything to comment on beyond that.”

Adds Rosenberg: “It’s nothing new that people are airing tons of dirty laundry Madonna’s way lately – much of it untrue.” She joked: “By the way, rumors of Madonna and Lil Wayne are quite exaggerated, as well.”
