Alex Rodriguez likes ’em rich — and apparently, techy.

The slugger looks to have moved on from Hollywood types like Madonna, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz and Torrie Wilson. Now, someone new: TMZ has a snap of A-Rod with his alleged galpal Anne Wojcicki.

OK, who? She’s the ex-wife of Google’s co-founder, Russian-born billionaire Sergey Brin, and no stranger to scandal. Wojcicki, the sister of YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, split from Brin after reportedly discovering the Silicon Valley mogul’s affair with Google Glass marketing manager Amanda Rosenberg.

The baseball player and head of 23andMe, a personal genetics testing company, were seen lunching Sunday at Tampa’s Green Lemon Mexican restaurant, Wojcicki’s arm draped casually around the Yankee’s neck. And they didn’t look as if they were discussing HTML coding.

Though they were enjoying a meal together, it’s unclear if Wojcicki has seen her athletic friend in action during spring training. He tweeted out a cute picture running with a bunch of kids the same day.
