While People reported unconfirmed rumours of a split, Us magazine has revealed that Hudson and A-Rod have indeed split up.
A friend of Hudson confirmed to the magazine that the relationship between the actress and New York Yankees slugger has run its course.
On the Late Show, when David Letterman asked Hudson about A-Rod’s powerful swing, the star nervously giggled before simply stating that Alex Rodriguez was a friend of hers and was a nice guy.
After two first dates last May, Hudson followed the baseball player’s games for the rest of the season, including those in Miami and Toronto. She even celebrated the Yankees’ World Series win with her beau and his team.
Before dating A-Rod, Kate Hudson had a son, Ryder, 5, with ex-husband Chris Robinson. She was also romantically linked to Owen Wilson, Dax Shepard and Lance Armstrong.
"I love boys. I believe they’re really simple. Every guy likes to say that they’re complicated, but they’re so easy to figure out. What did that Dr. Laura say? Something like, ‘All men want is sex and for you to make them a sandwich.’ I thought that was really funny–and not entirely untrue," Hudson recently told Britain’s Elle magazine.
