PDA

A-Rod, Kate Hudson Smooch in Public

Power couple puts 'friends' rumor to rest.

New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez got to first base Saturday—after the game. While the star slugger and actress Kate Hudson have been rumored to be an item for months, the couple made it official this weekend, putting on "a very public display of affection for the first time," the New York Daily News reports, "locking lips during the team's annual family picnic" and canoodling throughout the day. The smooching laid to rest lingering reports that the two are "just friends." A-Rod was also spotted playing with daughters Ella, 1, and Natasha, 4, at the picnic, though his ex-wife, Cynthia Rodriguez, was notably absent. Rodriguez and Hudson met in Miami last fall, and the blond beauty has been seen coming and going from A-Rod's Manhattan pad and cheering him on at games.
