KATE Hudson’s romance with New York Yankees slugger Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez has gotten the seal of the approval from the actress’ mom, Goldie Hawn.

Hawn is apparently a huge fan of the athlete — and would be more than happy for her superstar daughter to settle down and marry Alex, according to the New York Daily News.

“Goldie more than approves of Alex,” a source said.

Recent reports claimed Hudson had got A-Rod flirting with Buddhism.

“It’s an important part of her life,” a source said. “And it seems like Alex really just wants to make her happy.”

Goldie — a practicing Buddhist — would be more than happy if Alex changed religions, the source adds.

“If he becomes a Buddhist, it’ll only seal the deal,” dished the loose-lipped insider. [source]
