The romantic chapter of the ex-New York Yankees third baseman came to attention when he tied the knot with Cynthia Scurtis(now ex-wife) in 2002. They had two beautiful daughters together, Natasha, in 2004, followed by Ella in 2008. However, the year their younger daughter was born, Scurtis initiated a divorce, for reasons stated as “emotional neglect” and “marital misbehavior“. Finally, by September 2008, they had come to a divorce agreement. Following this rather hard period, he carried on with his life. 

The 14x All-Star was subsequently linked to ladies, namely Madonna, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, and tech executive Anne Wojcicki. Only after these did his commitment to Jennifer Lopez come up. J-Rod happened in 2019 after dating for two years, but they had their relationship until 2021. While the 48-year-old loved his courtship with “the most talented human being I’ve ever been around(JLo)”, he felt no remorse about the broken engagement. 

Transitioning from the ‘Jenny From The Block’ artist to Kathryne Padgett, Rodriguez’s relationship with her for less than a year. Then, entered the fitness and lifestyle coach Jaclyn Cordeiro.

Wearing a black suit with a white shirt, Alex Rodriguez and his Canadian girlfriend, in a yellow cocktail dress, were all set for the night of Christmas 2022.

Reasons Behind Their Instant Connection: From Fitness to Parenthood Which Make Them a Great Couple

The power-packed duo has quite a lot of similarities. Apart from having similar interests in fitness, they also have similar parental instincts. A source last year told People.com, “She may be as strict about her own regimen as he is. Alex and Jaclyn are both fitness obsessed and into exercise and bodybuilding.” Now that’s something to be equally obsessed about! 

Moreover, over time, A-Rod became her client too. He, in fact, got into better shape when he didn’t look and feel his best earlier in 2023, feeling bogged down by the load of work. That said, his ex-wife, Cynthia, whom he shares a cordial relationship with too, took Jac’s fitness advice to get into better shape. That said, what about the former Yankee’s daughters?

Well, Ella and Natasha both seem to share a great bond with Jaclyn. That should come as no surprise, given that Cordeiro herself is a mother of two daughters. She penned down her words in Status Fitness Magazine a couple of years ago, that her “life’s goal is to raise strong, independent, kind daughters.” Sounds similar to how Rodriguez’s mantra for his daughters. With that, maybe the slugger did hit a home run with his girlfriend of one year.
