Alex Rodriguez and his girlfriend, Jaclyn Cordeiro, have called it quits after three years of dating.
“To make clear, Alex and I are currently taking a while apart, but there continues to be mutual love, care and deep respect between us and for our families. We remain supportive of each other, and there is totally no animosity, drama or negative story here,” Cordeiro, 46, told TMZ in a press release published on Thursday, May 21.
The statement continued, “I’m also navigating a serious health matter involving a member of the family presently, so my focus is understandably there. Alex and I proceed to be very close, and out of respect for everybody involved, especially our daughters and family members, I’d kindly ask that any reporting reflects the compassion and privacy this case deserves.”
Us Weekly confirmed in October 2022 that Rodriguez, now 50, had begun dating Cordeiro. The pair made their Instagram debut as a pair that December and have continued to present glimpses of their romance.
In 2023, Rodriguez exclusively told Us that he had Cordeiro by his side while moving his daughter Natasha into her college dorm. (Rodriguez shares daughters Natasha, 21, and Ella, 18, with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis. The pair split in 2008.)
“I went with Jac, and we were waiting for Natasha [before we left]. We got there early to her dorms, and we saw a handful of fogeys saying goodbye to their children,” he recalled to Us on the time of move-in day. “And it was funny, each time it was the exact same. The parents were a large number. The daddy would go into the motive force’s seat, the mom would give the hug to the young man or the young woman, and each time it was just like the mom crying and the kid consoling, [which was] sort of cute. It was no different with me.”
Rodriguez went on to credit Cordeiro, a fitness instructor, for helping him get in shape.
“Look, she’s been incredible for me and for Cynthia,” he exclusively told Us on the time. “[Jac is] the one person who can come into coparents and make us each higher. Cynthia has gotten in incredible shape following the JacFit program, [and] I’ve lost 32 kilos following her program.”
Rodriguez shared that Cordeiro was “very caring and proactive,” qualities he thinks stem from being a former nurse.
“She’s used to taking good care of those who are sick,” he noted. “What I like about what she’s done in JacFit and the quantity of those who she’s influenced and the response that I see from people to her, it’s really mind-blowing.”
He continued, “I see what she’s done in my life, with my health [and with] Cynthia, to call just a few. She comes at it from a really proactive [place] and helps you get in tremendous shape, so that you don’t must hopefully be sick and stop any style of health issues.”
Prior to Cordeiro, Rodriguez was engaged to Jennifer Lopez from 2019 to 2021.
