MLB Rewind: Former New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez once got involved in a short-lived romance with Golden Globe Award winner Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson, a Golden Globe Award recipient, and Alex Rodriguez, a former New York Yankees All-Star, got involved in a short-lived romance in May 2009.

However, leaving all their fans and the media in shock, Kate and Alex called it quits in December of that year, just seven months after being labeled a couple.

The Hudson-Rodriguez rumors were confirmed when Hudson came down to watch the third baseman in action. Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez also didn't shy away from openly displaying their affection for each other by locking lips in public. After a whirlwind romance, the reason the power couple ended their relationship is still unknown to the world.
Hudson remarked in a Harper's Bazaar piece published just before the couple split in late 2009: “I have a child, and there are people involved, and it's unfair to talk about somebody else, especially when you're not in that place yet to be discussing those things. If I was sitting here with a belly out to here, I'd be talking about what the relationship is and how important that is in my life right now."
In 2020, Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez were once again in the news. On April 28, 2020, Kate Hudson and her sibling, Oliver Hudson, appeared on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen," a late-night talk show. It invites celebs to talk about pop culture and trending news. Kate and Oliver were invitees to the show to promote their new podcast, "Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson."
Previously, Oliver had invited the former New York Yankees star on his podcast, where Rodriguez joined to talk about MLB, fatherhood, career, and personal growth. On the late-night talk show, Andy Cohen inquired about Oliver interviewing Alex Rodriguez on his podcast, "Joe Buck and Oliver Hudson Have Daddy Issues." And that is when Kate chastised Oliver for neglecting to notify her regarding interviewing her ex-boyfriend, Rodriguez.
Kate Hudson was seen saying to Oliver, "You didn't even say, like, ‘Hey, like, look, I'm thinking of interviewing your ex-boyfriend. Is that cool?'"
Oliver gave a quick explanation, "I don't want to get a ‘no.'"
