Kate Hudson canoodles with A-Rod

What Madonna touches suddenly becomes most desireable. Kate Hudson has been seen "making out" with Madonna's rumoured ex-boyfriend. The "Bride Wars" actress and New York Yankees baseball star Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez couldn't keep their hands off each other as they enjoyed an intimate date at New York's Mustang Grill restaurant last weekend.

An onlooker told the New York Post newspaper: "Staff were asking patrons not to go in the back room around 1am because A-Rod and Kate Hudson were back there making out." A waitress also confirmed the pair were at the eatery, celebrating Alex's team's win.

She said: "Yes, they were here together." Other sources claim the smitten couple were spotted outside Alex's apartment block. Alex, 33, and his wife Cynthia - with who he has two daughters - split in 2008 after she claimed he had "an affair of the heart" with Madonna. Kate, 30 - who has a five-year-old son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson - was recently linked to ex-boyfriend Owen Wilson, who she has dated on/off since 2007.
