Dennis Rodman and Madonna had a short-lived but entertaining relationship that came with many problems for their popularity. Dennis was one of the most famous NBA players in the 90s, even competing with Chicago Bulls teammates, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Over the years, Rodman dated gorgeous women, putting together a big list. Still, it looks like the most intense relationship he had was with the Queen of pop. Rodman has spoken about it many times in the past, but that doesn’t mean we’re not surprised whenever new details emerge.
One of the strangest stories about this relationship involves Madonna offering money to Dennis to give her a baby. During an old interview with ESPN, Rodman would tell the story of when Madonna offered him $20 million to get her pregnant (2:21):
“She asked me that if I got her pregnant she’d pay me $20 million,” Rodman said.
Madonna’s attraction for Dennis apparently was huge. The player even called himself a candy while explaining what the singer saw in him during those years:
“I think Madonna saw me as a kid in a candy store. I was trying to find my way, but she’s already done it. She saw this young kid, I was like maybe 30, 31. I was just coming out the box, I was coming out the shell, I was coming out the closet pretty much. I think she saw a guy like, ‘wow, he’s somewhat attractive, has a nice body. And besides all this, I think she saw me coming out and being free and I think that was more attractive to her than anything else.”
This romance was very interesting, but the five-time NBA champion couldn’t handle all the pressure of Madonna’s fame and called it quits. Rodman has stated he has a good relationship with Madonna, but it’s unclear if having a child together would have kept things that way.
