Alex Rodriguez is still on the market despite being spotted with a new flame recently, a report says.
Rodriguez, 46, attended two major sporting events over the weekend with a blonde mystery woman, who was identified by Page Six as Dallas-based fitness competitor Kathryne "Kat" Padgett. But though they've been spending time together recently, sources told the outlet that the former Yankees slugger is still single.
"A-Rod is single and enjoying life," said an unnamed insider, adding of the alleged relationship, "It's not like she's his girlfriend. They went to Green Bay and then to Minnesota. She's not his girlfriend. He is a single dude."
Rodriguez was first spotted with the 25-year-old, who hadn't been identified yet at the time, late Saturday in the stands of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where both were all bundled up in coats and Packers hats.
"He wanted to experience Lambeau Field in the stands," a second source told Page Six of why Rodriguez chose to brave the elements instead of watching the game in a heated box. "He signed autographs and took pictures the entire game."
The former MLB star and Padgett were seen on the 50-yard line at the Packers game during a Fox broadcast. They were joined by Rodriguez's nephew Nick Silva, who works with Rodriguez at A-Rod Corp.
Rodriguez and Padgett reunited the following day, this time at Minneapolis' Target Center to watch the Timberwolves, the NBA team co-owned by Rodriguez, beat the Brooklyn Nets Sunday.
Padgett, who also competes in amateur bodybuilding competitions by the National Physique Committee, posted photos on her Instagram Stories at the NBA game. In the snap, she posed by the court in black leggings, a black leather jacket and a Timberwolves scarf.
Rodriguez separately posted snaps of himself at the game, as well as a video clip of himself making snow angels by a private jet on a tarmac.
According to Sports Illustrated's "The Spun," Padgett also uploaded photos on her social media account that matched up with Rodriguez's attendance at the Green Bay game.
A rep for Rodriguez didn't comment, and Padgett hasn't returned a request for comment, according to Page Six.
Padgett isn't the first woman Rodriguez has been seen out with following his split from Jennifer Lopez in April last year.
In July 2021, he was spotted on a yacht while vacationing in St. Tropez alongside several bikini-clad women.
He was also seen in St. Tropez — and then Ibiza, Spain — with sports reporter Melanie Collins, though sources later told Page Six they were "just friends" who were introduced by mutual pals Jessie James Decker and her husband, Eric Decker..
In November 2021, he reportedly exchanged texts with and asked out "Real Housewives of New York City" star Kelly Bensimon, unnamed sources told Page Six.
"They have a cute and flirty text relationship," one tipster told the outlet. "Alex has asked her out more than once, although she has not gone on a date with him."
Bensimon's rep confirmed that they were in contact and were having a "fun text relationship" in the last couple of months. Bensimon reportedly found him "charming," and they have been talking about real estate.
However, a rep for Rodriguez denied that the former athlete exchanged "flirty texts" with Bensimon. "There is nothing there. A lot of people reach out to him for business purposes," his rep said.
