“My Guide and Support…”: Yankees Legend Alex Rodriguez Shares Heartfelt Message Thanking Fitness Guru Girlfriend for Guidance During Life-Changing “Health Journey”

Alex Rodriguez and Jaclyn Cordeiro are enamored. The couple, which has been dating for almost a year, are going as strong as ever. What makes any relationship, romantic or otherwise, strong is sharing common interests. And Rodriguez and Cordeiro have a big one – health. Both fitness freaks, their joint gym sessions, and workouts often make it to social media. But as the former New York Yankees slugger recently admitted, their relationship goes much deeper.

In June 2023, A-Rod revealed a horrifying diagnosis – he had gum disease, despite taking such good care of his overall health. But instead of dwelling on it, Rodriguez started spreading awareness about dental care. But while he deals with that, the retired athlete also had another health revelation to share recently, involving his girlfriend.

Jaclyn Cordeiro Was a Huge Help to Alex Rodriguez

Cordeiro’s resume boasts quite a few impressive skills. The fitness guru is a certified nurse and now works as a health coach for individuals looking to get active. Having found this common interest in her boyfriend, one would imagine the couple loves to hit the gym together. But while that is true, Cordeiro also helped Alex Rodriguez on his own fitness journey.

In a recent Instagram post, A-Rod shares the journey he underwent to get where he is currently. “This is a vulnerable post, but I am going to share anyway because the last year of my health journey has been life changing. At the end of 2021, my family pointed out that I was looking unhealthy. Not what you want to hear, but I knew I wasn’t my best self,” he writes in the caption.

Detailing what he did to get healthier, the former Yankees player continues, “It all came down to me making some key changes in my habits: 1. More plants, less red meat 2. Intermittent fasting 3. Night walks.  Small changes led to big results, and I’m feeling better than ever.”

And it was all thanks to his girlfriend. “Thank you @jac_lynfit for being my guide and support.  You coached me up to stay dedicated, motivated and improve each day.”

Cordeiro’s Effect Extended to the Rodriguez Family

A-Rod has always described himself as fitness-obsessed and he motivates his family to be the same. But with Cordeiro alongside him, it’s been even more effective. In addition to inspiring his teenage daughters, even ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis was impressed.
