Celebrity relationships can be complicated, and Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez and Jaclyn Cordeiro are taking time to figure things out. The pair announced they’re pausing their relationship, and Cordeiro shared the news with transparency and grace.
Cordeiro confirmed to TMZ that she and the retired MLB star are “currently taking some time apart,” while asking for sensitivity around the situation. She emphasized that celebrity relationships deserve compassion, especially when personal challenges arise. “There continues to be mutual love, care, and deep respect between us and for our families,” she told the outlet. “We remain supportive of one another, and there is absolutely no animosity, drama, or negative story here.”
The fitness influencer also shared that she’s navigating a serious health matter involving a family member. “My focus is understandably there,” she said, reminding us that behind the headlines, real people face real struggles. It’s a moment that calls for understanding and privacy.
Despite the time apart, Cordeiro made clear that she and Rodriguez remain connected. “Alex and I continue to be very close,” she said, asking that coverage show “the compassion and privacy this situation deserves.” They continue to follow each other on Instagram, and sources confirm they’ve been apart for two months.
Rodriguez and Cordeiro first went public with their romance in 2023, following the end of Rodriguez’s engagement to Jennifer Lopez. Rodriguez shares two daughters with his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis, and remains committed to his family.
