Curveball! Kate Hudson was pictured with her ex-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez on Monday October 28, 2024, revealing that the pair have remained friendly 15 years after their split.

Alex shared a series of pictures in Instagram Stories after the 2024 MLB World Series returned to Yankee Stadium in New York City, and one of those was him with his daughter Natasha, ex-girlfriend Kate and her brother Oliver Hudson.

Kate and Oliver were in the stadium to watch the third game of the 2024 Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees, and although Kate wore a Yankees hat, Oliver was cheering on the Dodgers in an LA baseball cap.

Alex and Kate were first romantically linked in May 2009, when she was seen at a Yankees game – whom Alex played for between 2004 and 2013 – and then later by his side during a post-gamer dinner at Mustang Grill, a New York restaurant.
