After exiting the ballpark for one last time in 2016, Alex Rodriguez’s controversial but stellar MLB career came to a momentous end. But the momentum of popularity continued to augment after the New York Yankees’ third baseman started dating pop sensation Jennifer Lopez, who Alex Rodriguez first met in 2017. However, almost four years after A-Rod and JLo started dating, both celebrities have parted ways. But does that indicate that the couple were ready to get into a serious relationship after their painful breakup?
Lopez obviously was, as she remarried her ex-fiance, Ben Affleck. But since the breakup with JLo in April 2021, A-Rod has found two serious relationships. His relationship with Kathryn Padgett came to a sudden end after eight months. Now, the three-time AL MVP winner is dating fitness coach Jaclyn Cordeiro, but how serious is their relationship?

Seemingly, their relationship started collecting propulsion, but according to a recent article by PEOPLE, the pair was still not ready for a serious relationship. An insider close to the couple reported, “I think she is serious about him. [But] I don’t see Alex getting terribly serious about anyone now.”
The insider also mentioned that the 2009 World Champion isn’t completely ready to move on from JLo yet. And the shortstop turned business mogul is enjoying his time with his daughters. The insider source added, “He is a good father and went through a lot with the Lopez breakup. But he seems to be happy for the moment. I just don’t see anything more than that, at least for now.”
Why did A-Rod’s relationship with Jennifer Lopez end?
Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez looked like a perfect combination of popularity, success, and comfort. But unfortunately, despite their happy public appearances, their relationship eventually became a victim of their insecurity toward each other.
