Kate Hudson & Alex Rodriguez

Nobody could have predicted the romance between free-spirited actress Kate Hudson, 30, and New York Yankees slugger Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez, 34. Kate, the daughter of Goldie Hawn, is Hollywood royalty and a Buddhist who divorced rocker Chris Robinson in 2007. Alex, meanwhile, is an A-type athlete who courted controversy after leaving his wife in 2008 and striking up a “friendship” with Madonna. But Kate and A-Rod look like the real thing. In the summer of 2009, she became such a fixture at Yankee Stadium that fans began calling her Alex’s good luck charm. There has even been gossip about marriage and babies in their future.
