Alex Rodriguez appears to have a new girlfriend.

The former New York Yankees star was spotted on Saturday at the NFC Divisional Playoff Game between the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

The NFL tweeted a video of Rodriguez (wearing a Packers hat) in the stands with a mystery woman during the fourth quarter. The clip included the caption, “A-Rod watching A-Rod.” (Aaron Rodgers and the Packers lost to the 49ers, 13-10.)

After the Packers’ loss, Rodriguez posted on Twitter a video he recorded during the game. The eight-second clip did not show his date for the day. Instead Rodriguez is seen yelling with a fan: “Yeah! Let’s go! Cheese!”

As for his companion for the game, The Spun reports she “appears to be Kathryne Padgett. The woman had some posts on her Instagram Story that match up with the broadcast.

Padgett has more than 5,000 followers on Instagram, though that number is sure to grow following Saturday night’s appearance.

According to her Instagram account, Padgett hails from Dallas and calls herself an “NPC Competitor.”

NPC appears to stand for the National Physique Committee, which calls itself a “premier amateur physique organization.” In other words, bodybuilding.

Padgett lists herself as the director of nutrition at Doyle Sports Performance, a baseball training academy in Atlanta, Ga. Doyle’s website lists Rodriguez as an alumni.

Rodriguez and fiancee Jennifer Lopez ended their relationship in April. Since then, the former slugger has been seen with a “bevy of beauties.”

In November, the New York Post’s Page Six reported Rodriguez had turned his attention to ex-model and “Real Housewife of New York” Kelly Bensimon.

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

Page Six confirmed with Bensimon’s camp that she’s “been in contact” with Rodriguez.

“They’ve been having a fun text relationship for the last couple of months,” says Bensimon’s rep. “She thinks he is charming and a gentleman.”

However Page Six reported that a representative for Rodriguez said his contact with Bensimon is strictly professional.

“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.”
