Former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez and his longtime partner have called it quits, at least for now. Rodriguez has split from his fitness instructor girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro , after more than three years together. The couple, who went public in early 2023, have been apart for approximately two months, according to sources close to the former MLB star.
In an exclusive statement, Cordeiro addressed the separation directly. She explained that she and Rodriguez are currently taking time apart, but emphasized that there is no bad blood between them. “There continues to be mutual love, care, and deep respect between us and for our families,” she said. “We remain supportive of one another, and there is absolutely no animosity, drama, or negative story here.”
Cordeiro also revealed a deeply personal reason why her focus has shifted. She is currently navigating a serious health issue involving a family member. “My focus is understandably there,” she said. She asked that any reporting reflect the compassion and privacy the situation deserves, particularly out of respect for their daughters and loved ones. A source close to Rodriguez confirmed there is nothing but mutual respect between the two.
Rodriguez and his fitness instructor girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro were first linked in October 2022. They made things Instagram official a few months later, attending a January 2023 NBA game together. Cordeiro, a Canadian fitness entrepreneur, brought a low-key energy to Rodriguez’s otherwise highly public dating history, which includes high-profile relationships with Jennifer Lopez and Madonna.
Throughout their time together, the pair posted workout videos, vacation photos, and blended family moments. Rodriguez has two daughters, Natasha and Ella, with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis. Cordeiro also has children from a previous relationship. Neither side has indicated whether the separation is temporary or permanent. For now, both are asking for privacy, a rare request in the world of celebrity breakups, and one that underscores just how different this split is from the ones that made headlines before.
