Kate Hudson met her latest squeeze, Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez, through her  real estate broker.

The Bride Wars star — who is divorced from Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson and recently split from actor Owen Wilson — hooked up with the New York Yankees slugger after the pair were introduced by Adam Modlin of NYC’s The Modlin Group, who is a good friend of Alex’s.

“Adam and Alex have been close friends for years,” an insider told the New York Daily News newspaper.

“They talk at least four or five times a day on the phone. Sometimes Alex will call him twice in an hour. Alex even flies Adam around on his private jet to spring training or games so they can hang out.

“Adam has known Kate for a while, as well. He’s been showing her townhouses in the West Village for about a year now. He thought Alex and Kate would like one another, and sure enough, when they connected, it was a home run.

“The man knows love and where to find a posh condo! If Alex and Kate get married, at least they’ll know exactly who to call to find a place to live!”

Another source adds that A-Rod and Kate first met “in Miami at the Fountainebleau hotel opening in November ’08 — Adam introduced them. The first five to 10 minutes of their conversation was about Adam. At the time, A-Rod was all about Madonna.”
