Chris & Ryder Robinson In The Big Apple

Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson and a female friend were spotted taking a walk through New York's West Village yesterday with his 5-year-old son Ryder.

Though Chris split from Ryder's mom Kate Hudson in 2006, she told Elle last year that they still remain close, saying, “Chris and I did not look at this from the beginning as any kind of traditional marriage: It’s about being a family forever — and we are. Whatever man I end up with, I will always love Chris.”

While Ryder and his dad were enjoying their New York stroll, Kate was spotted watching the Mets take on the Yankees at Citi Field in Queens, NY. The Fools' Gold star is rumored to be romancing Yankees' star Alex Rodriguez.
