Today in news truly no one but the most die-hard Real Housewives fans could dream up, Page Six is out here reporting that Alex Rodriguez and Kelly Bensimon are texting.

“They have a cute and flirty text relationship,” a source tells the outlet. “Alex has asked her out more than once, although she has not gone on a date with him.”

Oh, and Kelly’s rep confirmed, “They’ve been having a fun text relationship for the last couple of months. She thinks he is charming and a gentleman. They have mutual friends and she has been talking to him about real estate.”

Truly !!!! But before you get too excited/alarmed, A-Rod’s rep *also* gave a statement to Page Six, saying, “She reached out on a real estate opportunity and that is it. There are no flirty texts. There is nothing there. A lot of people reach out to him for business purposes.”

I’ll give you a moment to LOL.

Aaaaanyway, quick update on A-Rod’s post-breakup dating life: He has been largely single since splitting from Jennifer Lopez. He also lightly roasted himself back in October on the subject when he was mocked for eating popcorn in the middle of a game and said, “That’s maybe why I’m single.”

As a reminder, A-Rod and J.Lo split in April, announcing the breakup in a joint statement to the Today show: “We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so,” they said. “We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.”
