Ever since A-Rod’s marriage with Cynthia Scurtis came to an end in 2008, Alex Rodriguez consistently made the news about his popular romantic escapades. Amongst them was actress Cameron Diaz, who dated the Yankees superstar during the early 2010s.

A-Rod, whose post-retirement popularity largely stems from his relationship with pop sensation Jennifer Lopez, and their alluring relationship, once spoke about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and popular American actress, Cameron Diaz.

A-Rod is all praises for ex-girlfriend Cameron Diaz

As reported by Fox News in 2017, the former Yankee, who often shied away from discussing his failed relationships in public, once complimented Cameron Diaz. While the compliment or method didn’t represent A-Rod’s overall personality, he spoke about his famous ex to The Insider.

While talking about his relationship with Diaz, A-Rod said, “I don’t like talking about my relationships, but I will tell you about CD: She’s probably one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met, and just an amazing light.”

A few years down the line, after A-Rod and Jennifer Lopez started dating, and broke up in April 2021, A-Rod used very similar words to explain the end of the relationship. He had said, “Look, we had a great time. Here’s what I will tell you about Jennifer. She’s the most talented human being I’ve ever been around.”

Today, Cameron Diaz is married to the American musician Benji Madden since 2015. On the other hand, A-Rod is in a relationship with fitness coach Jaclyn Cordeiro after a long list of failed relationships. And JLo is married to her ex-fiance Ben Affleck.

Alex Rodriguez and his growing ambitions after his MLB retirement

Retiring from the MLB barely affected A-Rod’s passionate self. If anything, the slugger grew to be even more ambitious, but this time, in a realm distanced from his direct area of specialty. Following his retirement in 2016, A-Rod began the pursuit of his business dreams.

Throughout his career, the former slugger signed various record-breaking deals, which allowed him a large amount of capital. For starters, he plunged into A-Rod Corp, a holding company that he founded in 1996. Today, A-Rod Corp is growing into one of the biggest holding companies across the country. He’s also found the praises of Warren Buffett for his achievements and ventures with A-Rod Corp.

Simultaneously, Alex Rodriguez is also the chairperson of Presidente Beer. And part-owner of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves alongside ex-Walmart CEO, Marc Lore.

He’s also grown to become one of the more esteemed analysts with Fox Sports. And most recently called the National League postseason with them.
