Kate Hudson has confirmed she is dating baseball hunk Alex Rodriguez - by smooching the star in front of snappers at the New York Yankees annual picnic.
The actress has tried to keep her romance with Rodriguez quiet, but has failed to see off public interest in the relationship after she followed the sportsman to every game as his team tours the U.S.
Hudson has now taken their romance public - by passionately kissing Rodriguez in front of the paparazzi on Saturday (25Jul09).
The pair has reportedly been dating since last November (09), and have been pictured spending quality time together with their respective kids, Rodriguez's daughters Ella and Natasha and Hudson's son Ryder.
Rodriguez was last year (08) rumoured to have dated Madonna following her split from Guy Ritchie.
