Ever since I first read yesterday’s report from Hollywood Life about Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson’s alleged split, I’ve been waiting for Kate’s publicist or manager to issue some stern denial – it never came! And now Us Weekly is running an exclusive story on the reasons behind their split, so it looks like this breakup might be for real. I’m so disappointed! I really thought Kate was going to make it work for a while longer, at least through the awards season. But this Us Weekly report makes it seem like Alex did the dumping (a source says “he broke up with her over a week ago”) because A-Rod thought Kate was some kind of starf-cking narcissist who always needs the camera on her. Oh, yes. It’s getting juicy!
A movie star is always a movie star — even when she’s at Yankee Stadium, cheering on her boyfriend at the World Series. In the wake of Monday’s announcement that Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez have ended their six-month relationship, a Rodriguez source tells Us that the actress’ less-than-subtle presence at Yankee games was “a turnoff” to Rodriguez.
“[Hudson] wanted more camera time each and every game,” the pal tells Usmagazine.com. “She would always want to be styled before games and she’d insist on front-row seats.” Her motivation, the friend says, was more of a PR move than genuine devotion. “It was a turnoff to have a girlfriend who always wanted to be on camera,” the source quips. “Alex wanted someone who was more interested in building a long-term relationship than just building their profile.”
For those confused by the timeline of the couple’s split and who initiated what, the A-Rod friend insists that “he broke up with her over a week ago,” but they continued to spend time together publicly after the fact. “Alex wanted to end this relationship well over a month ago,” the source says, but the baseball star, 34, didn’t want to disrupt Hudson’s premieres and promotional events for her new film Nine. “He felt that would be counterproductive and unfair to her.”
And while many reports claim that a jealous Rodriguez “smothered” Hudson, 30, the friend suggests the opposite was the case, observing, “She seemed compelled to track and follow his every move” during his busy pre- and post-season schedule.
Ultimately, the pal says that Hudson tried to give Rodriguez “an ultimatum” and to “fast track” the relationship. “He’s just coming off of a 13-year relationship with his ex-wife and a recent divorce,” the friend points out. “He has two lovely children with his ex-wife, and that requires a certain amount of responsibility. She gave him ultimatums that a newly divorced father can’t meet.”
The friend says that things ended amicably — and maturely. “They’re two mature adults. She did take the relationship seriously, and he has a lot of respect for her. They had some really wonderful times together.”

Gee, they’re “mature adults” except for the part where Alex’s friend spent ten minutes bitching about Kate like a little gossipy teenage girl. Maybe I’m blind to Kate’s true nature because I have some affection for her, but the way Alex’s friend describes Kate seems off to me. Sure, I’ll buy that she likes dating a famous guy, but this is a girl who dated Dax Shepard! It’s not like she’s constantly trading up, you know? She just likes to date whoever is around. I don’t know… this whole story seems tacky to me. But that’s what you get when you date someone with a painting of himself as a centaur.

i read somewhere that Kate was laughing at A-Rod behind his back and that she thought he was an idiot who was good in the sack. if that is true, then he clearly got the last laugh.
Way to go Alex! Dump that dead weight! She needs to have her ego balloon deflated!
He looks like a retarded mouth breather in that above picture…. actually he looks retarded in every picture. As for Kate Hudson, she needs to learn two things 1. be OK with being alone for awhile and 2. choose better men in the future.
Like a-rod doesn’t date people for attention? They are both famewhores
Looks like little Ryder will be getting a new “uncle” soon.
Kate is really starting to look like one desperate fool in Hollywood alongside Jessica Simpson. Kate is even worse because she has a small impressionable little boy that she constantly is bringing around different men.
Both are narcissistic morons.
@ Enonymous: I T A!! 🙂
um,i dont think kate is on par with simpson. kate is showing that she may actually have talent=let’s see what her performance in 9 is like…and her star may rise on it’s own-without need for pimping her latest flame or her mother’s fame anymore…
that may earn her some respect from me. we’ll see.
as far as her dating as a gasp! mother with a young child,we dont really know what goes on-it’s healthy to date,not so much to have people move in and call them uncle.
to my knowledge,she didnt live with any of these men ‘formally’,and,her child spends time with his father as well as other family members,so she may have been more discreet than we realize.
my point is that we just don’t know. but i know ya’ll love to talk about her indescretions as unhealthy for her child.
It didn’t last forever???? Surprise surprise.
I always have to laugh when 2 famous people get involved, and one gets mad that the other is attention seeking. Seriously, if he doesn’t want his girlfriend getting press and attention, don’t date a frickin’ movie star! Neither one of them should have looked at the other and thought, yeah, serious relationship!
Um…did his “friend” who kept talking about his divorce and ending the long relationship with his ex-wife forget that he left that wife for Madonna (or am I thinking of someone else) and was rumored to be a player during the marriage too? And I’m willing to bet that there were a number of women between Madonna and Kate. So don’t act like he’s still grieving the end of his marriage!
I’m not crazy about Kate Hudson, but…I think she heard A-rod was cheating on her, and dumped his loser butt to move on without a second thought. I think A-rod’s humiliated and this is damage control on his part.
Looks like Owen will be getting a bedwarmer soon.
I’m shocked that a) A-Rod has moved onto the next poon and b) Hudson is characterized as clingy and smothering.
Oh, wait, no I’m not.
She’s an idiot.
As far as I know (per gossip rags), he’s hideous. I’d say he should have kept with Kate. At least, she didn’t need his money.
On the other hand, she’s better off without him. Yucko!
Did her mother do this to her when she was little? Because I’m trying to figure out why she thinks it’s fine and dandy to let her little boy form attachments to these random guys who then mysteriously disappear.
We’re failing to address the real issue at hand here: Oh good god, what in holy hell is Kate Hudson wearing?!
Manwhores are often extremely needy and clingy in serious relationships, and I definitely get that vibe from him. I don’t think he minds being “smothered”. not like it stops him from whoring around. she probably cut him loose… the novelty must’ve worn off.
I don’t remember Goldie being anything like Kate. She has been with Kurt Russell for over 20 years! Kate gives off the impression that she doesn’t give a crap what anyone thinks of her. I am trying not to be judgemental, but she seems to be attracted to men that will never be faithful, no matter how beautiful or talented she is.
I think Kate might have some daddy issues.
whhat are daddy issues
blah, blah, blah on the whole “relationship” they had – whatever. But WTF is up with that jumpsuit she’s wearing?! Good Lord.
Jeez, why ANYONE would date this guy is beyond me… much less a bubbly sprite young blonde… I think she might have brain damage :/
You know, ben, like when your rockstar father abandons you, and you end up having a shotgun wedding with some smelly musician you just met like three weeks ago… and of course that little Oedipus flytrap doesn’t work out, so you’re left with bitterness and rage you express by going into shallow, implosive relationships with men you end up dumping for kicks. we’ve all been there.
Since when were the Hudson Brothers rock stars? They weren’t even as cool as Lawrence Welk.
That aside, I don’t believe Kate was styled before any game. She sure as hell didn’t look styled.
Oh, and A-Rod has no business calling anyone a starf*cker.
she is un-lucky in love like most hollywood women..smh
@ Cinderella: LOL, no she did not look styled at the games! She looked very casual and un-styled. The things people make up!
She does need to figure out how to be alone for awhile. I know a lot of women like this who just go from guy to guy to guy to guy…ad nauseum, and never spend any time getting to know themselves. I can’t imagine. I like having time to myself to do what I like. Of course my life these days is a little too much getting to know myself, LOL, but oh well!!
People need to stop picking on her about how she handles her son around her dating relationships. She’s single, she dates and she has a kid. Big freakin whoop. I’m sure she has some modicum of judgment about how to handle that situation. Sheesh.
Kate could do whatever she wants, but come on now she drags her son around the country following every guy she dates. Shouldn’t she worry about being a mother more than being someones woman? Nobody is saying she can’t date around but at least don’t drag your kid into it. Later on we’ll be reading about what a womanizer he’s become and about his mommy issues.
You have to understand that Kate is getting up there in age, and she realizes this.
She hasn’t quite “run the well dry” in the manner that Jessica Simpson has, but she must’ve been aware of the need to secure some kind of man before her sexual market value resembles that of spoiled milk.
It’s is a very common phenomenon that we’re seeing occur as people of post “50s” generations are getting older and the prospects of marriage are dwindling.
He’s no prize but she’s a HAG. So over her.
Good Lord! Are jumpsuits back on style? I hope not!
Don’t see why she ever went for him in the first place. He’s just gross. And probably has herpes.
Uhmmmm so. . . “He’s just coming off of a 13-year relationship with his ex-wife and a recent divorce.”
Makes it sound like he can’t give time to a relationship since he has his kids and responsibility to them.
Then it’s. . . “Alex wanted someone who was more interested in building a long-term relationship”
Wouldn’t a long term relationship involve his kids? Which is it? He doesn’t want a relationship, she’s clingy. . . or he does but she’s too self involved? I’m confused.
Oh! No I’m not. . . it’s lies, that explains it!
Kate broke it off and she won’t be crying to the press about it. She’ll be too busy finding Mr Next!
So NOT into Kate Hudson and not that it’s important, but I find her really plain in contrast to Goldie, who was a knockout at that age. There’s nothing more unattractive in a relationship–male or female–than being smothered by the other partner.
I think BitterBetty is right, although I would add that Kate’s mother’s relationship with her stepdad is a fairly open one. They never legalized the marriage and reportedly Goldie looked the other way if Kurt wanted a little variety every few years. I have no idea whether it’s true and don’t want to make any statement about needing a piece of paper, but it could have looked to Kate as if no guy is really a sure thing, based on her parents’ relationships.
I.AM.SHOCKED!!
………….NOT!
“because A-Rod thought Kate was some kind of starf-cking narcissist who always needs the camera on her. Oh, yes. It’s getting juicy!”
Love this quote, brilliant writing, but come on A-rod: you dated Madonna…and in that scenario she wasn’t star fxxking, you were.
Holy crap, she looks like a back up dancer on Solid Gold!
‘getting up there in age’…WTF??? She’s how old? Jeebus! Oh, and Goldie was very pretty, but never had a chin…till she got one.
I agree she should deceide to stay alone for an undetermined amount of time. I was going from men to men, even having several of them at the same time (but not together), then I got tired of there drama and realised I haven’t been alone for a couple of years, so I deceided to be alone and have ME-time !… but that’s when I finally met love and my now husband ! so I haven’t been on my own since I’ve started to date at 18.
they shld leave Sweet Kate alone
Okay, wait a minute; hold the phone…
HE has a painting of himself as a centaur above his bed and SHE’S the narcissist?!? Did I miss something?
Kate Hudson is “getting up there”???? She is 30 years old, not exactly drying up on the vine. Save that comment till she hits 40.
I have 1st hand info on Kate and the people she worked with. Most of them didnt have kind words for her or didnt like her diva tude. It falls on both, hes coming off a divorce and kids involved/player rep/ narcissist tude…she floats from one relationship to another and always tries to rush things (never a good idea) so the combo of the 2 of them was destine to fail anyway. But Im glad they can end it maturely.
Good for you Alex. What goes around ALWAYS comes around Kate.
Kate looks a bit like one of those “smothering” jersey…………….cows
