JETER’S DOUBLE-PLAY PARTNER

It’s Jeter at the plate.

Derek Jeter, who has been known to like ’em and leave ’em, spent some quality time with actress Minka Kelly in Puerto Rico this week (above).

The two have been seeing each other since at least last May, when fans caught them dining at the Empire Hotel’s Kobe Club.

He put his arm around her following the last game at old Yankee Stadium in September. Last October, the Yankee star, 34, and the “Friday Night Lights” actress (right), 28, cozied up in Austin, Texas, at the music club Momo’s. They also attended a University of Texas football game, cheering from the sidelines with Jeter’s former teammate Roger Clemens.

Things seem to be heating up lately. Earlier this month, Jeter and Kelly shared a seafood dinner at the Nikki Beach Resort in the Turks & Caicos.

The latest sighting was in the Puerto Rican city of Caguas, where the two attended a Jan. 18 charity event run by Yankee catcher Jorge Posada. Jeter and Kelly dined together after the festivities.

According to an “insider” who spoke to In Touch magazine, the couple was looking for a home in the Los Angeles area last month.
