Alex Rodriguez hoping to rekindle romance with ex Kelly Bensimon

Alex Rodriguez is aiming to rekindle his romance with ex Kelly Bensimon after parting ways from Jennifer Lopez. 

An insider said the former Yankee slugger has asked out Bensimon 'more than once' and the two are in communication. 

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

According to a rep for Bensimon the former flames have been in contact.

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

Bensimon’s rep added, “They have mutual friends and she has been talking to him about real estate.”

On the other hand, A-Rod’s rep revealed, "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.”
