After retiring from the Pinstripe jersey in 2016, the following year, Alex Rodriguez started dating Jennifer Lopez.

Similarly, in an OK! piece from 2018, photographers snapped A-Rod and J.Lo at a Lakers game. A-Rod was with his two daughters, Natasha and Ella. And J.Lo was with her twins, Max and Emme.

Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez: Where are they now?
While Jennifer Lopez didn’t take too long to move on, after their breakup, Alex Rodriguez started spending increased hours of time with his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis, and his two daughters. Eventually, in December 2021, rumors of Alex Rodriguez’s new relationship with model, Kathryne Padgett, broke ground after they started appearing in various games together, and took trips together. However, their relationship didn’t last too long, and the couple called it quits earlier this year in August.
Since then, A-Rod got busy with his broadcasting career and today, he’s busy calling and analyzing the postseason on Fox. But, recent rumors suggest that A-Rod is with a fitness coach named, Jaclyn Cordeiro.
