Short and sweet.

Back in June, Alex Rodriguez was officially spotted making the rounds with fitness competitor Kathryne Padgett.

Now their thing meets fling is over, according to widespread media reports.

Over the summer, while Rodriguez’s famous ex Jennifer Lopez planned her wedding (s) to ex-flame Ben Affleck, the jet-setting couple lived it up all over Europe, from Italy to Spain. A superyacht was often involved.

Though the 25-year-old fitness enthusiast and the 47-year-old former ballplayer never confirmed they were an item, they did seem to be exclusive.

Don’t worry yourself over these two; the relationship seems to have just run its course and the split is said to be amicable.

“They’re good friends — they’re just each single,” an insider told Page Six. “They broke up, but they’re super tight. It’s all good.”

Want more proof of all the good feelings? A-Rod has not yet been wiped clean from Padgett’s Instagram.

As for the former Yankee’s social media, it’s currently full of other gals, namely his two teen daughters, Natasha and Ella. Pictures often include the hashtag #girldad.

Maybe staying a bachelor and hanging with the fam aren’t such a bad idea.

As for Lopez, she seems extremely happy — and reflective.

After her Georgia wedding to her ex-fiancé Affleck, the 53-year-old wrote in her On the JLo newsletter that marrying the father of three, 50, made “absolute sense while seeming still impossibly hard to believe.”

“Some old wounds were healed that day and the weight of the past finally lifted off our shoulders,” the superstar gushed about the power couple’s second ceremony (the first was a Vegas quickie). “Full-circle — and not at all the way we planned it. Better.”
