Kate Hudson goes public with her baseball star

There's no doubt who's man of the match for Kate Hudson.

The Bride Wars star has confirmed to the world that she's now officially with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez - otherwise known as A-Rod.

The pair shared a tender moment at a family picnic day at Yankees Stadium - ending any doubts that they're an item.

Rumours have been rife for months that the divorced Hollywood actress was dating one of America's most celebrated sportsmen.

The mum-of-one was spied enjoying romantic meals with the man nicknamed 'The Cooler' by team-mates, as well as secret trysts at his Manhattan apartment.

But the picture of the pair kissing, which was taken in late July, has only just emerged to the general media.

More recently, Kate, 30, has been proving her devotion to A-Rod - cheering him on from the front row of the stand, at almost every one of his games.

And it appears to have paid off - she's been dubbed a "lucky charm" by some of the American sports press.

A-Rod has seen his game improve since he began dating the Hollywood beauty.

His batting average since their first public kiss is 25 points higher than his season average, according to US reports.

And he has hit two home runs in his last three games.

Since splitting from her husband Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson in 2006, Kate has been romantically linked to a host of famous men.

As well as an on/off relationship with You, Me & Dupree co-star Owen Wilson, she has also dated Dax Shepherd and Lance Armstrong

In January, she was photographed holidaying with Australian golfer Adam Scott in Hawaii.

Meanwhile, A-Rod, who has two children and a failed marriage behind him, has dated the likes of Madonna.

But it appears that he now only has eyes for Kate, who has already introduced him to her five-year-old son Ryder.

Their burgeoning relationship has left Kate's mum Goldie Hawn in fear that she will be left heartbroken again.

It's thought she's told her daughter to put the brakes on or risk getting hurt.
