Alex Rodriguez's Ex-Girlfriend, 46, Speaks Out Following Their Breakup

Alex Rodriguez's ex-girlfriend, Jaclyn Cordeiro, is speaking out following the couple's breakup.

The legendary MLB star and the fitness model and instructor announced earlier in May that they had broken up. Cordeiro spoke to TMZ Sports, confirming their breakup.

"To clarify, Alex and I are currently taking some time apart but there continues to be mutual love, care, and deep respect between us and for our families," Cordeiro said. "We remain supportive of one another, and there is absolutely no animosity, drama, or negative story here.

"I'm also navigating a serious health matter involving a family member at this time, so my focus is understandably there. Alex and I continue to be very close, and out of respect for everyone involved, especially our daughters and loved ones, I'd kindly ask that any reporting reflects the compassion and privacy this situation deserves."

The couple was first linked in 2022 and confirmed their relationship in December of that year. They had been dating for about three and a half years.

Jaclyn made it clear that she's prioritizing her inner peace right now.

"You're in your 40s and realize peace is the new luxury. Peace comes from protecting your energy, releasing control, and giving yourself permission to rest," she wrote.

"Protect your time. Peace often starts with boundaries. Not every call, invitation, conflict, or expectation deserves access to you. Accept what you can't control. The need to fix everyone and everything steals peace faster than almost anything. Focus energy where you actually have influence. Make space for yourself without guilt. Even one quiet hour to rest, walk, sit in the sun, or do nothing is not selfish. It's maintenance for the person carrying so much."
