A-Rod and Kat Padgett are enjoying life after their split

MLB fans are no strangers to Kathryne Padgett, as the former collegiate soccer player was involved with A-Rod in 2022, following his split with Jennifer Lopez.

Padgett all but confirmed her split-up with A-rod after posing for pictures with a man in a Halloween post last year. However, she put all rumors to rest by sharing snaps of video content creator Weston Richey during their Valentine's Day celebrations earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Alex Rodriguez did not take too long to move on either, as he unveiled Jac Cordeiro, a fitness model, just three months after his split with Padgett. The duo posed in front of a Christmas tree along with the former MLB shortstop's two daughters, Natasha and Ella.
