I struck out again.
Alex Rodriguez and girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro have broken up after more than three years of dating.
“Let me be clear: Although Alex and I have been separated for some time now, there continues to be mutual love, care, and deep respect between us and our families,” the bodybuilder told TMZ in a statement Thursday.
“We continue to support each other and there is no animosity, no drama, no negative talk here,” she added.
Cordeiro told the magazine that she is “currently dealing with serious health issues involving my family” and that is her focus.
“Alex and I remain very close, but out of respect for everyone involved, especially our daughter and loved ones, we ask that this news report reflect the compassion and privacy that this situation deserves,” she concluded.
A source close to the former couple revealed that Rodriguez, 50, and Cordeiro, 46, broke up two months ago.
The former New York Yankees player and personal trainer first became romantically involved in 2022, when Page Six exclusively reported that the two were “enjoying their time together.”
A few weeks later, the two opened an official Instagram account while vacationing together in New York City.
“Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart,” Rodriguez captioned a happy photo of herself and Cordeiro, adding the hashtags “family,” “joy,” and “gratitude.”
The following year, the former athlete revealed that he lost more than 30 pounds with the help of his girlfriend’s fitness program.
“You know, she’s been incredible to me and Cynthia,” Rodriguez gushed to Us Weekly about his and ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis’ 2023 weight-loss transformations.
“(Jacques) is the only person who parented with me and made us both better. Cynthia felt incredibly fit after the JacFit program, (and) I lost 32 pounds after her program,” he said.
The former MLB star explained that Cordeiro was very “compassionate” because he was a nurse.
“I look at my health (and Cynthia) to name a few of what she’s done for me in my life. She has a very proactive attitude and helps me stay in shape so I can hopefully avoid getting sick and prevent all kinds of health problems,” he added.
Rodriguez and Scurtis were married from 2002 to 2008, but she filed for divorce, citing “emotional abandonment” of her children and extramarital affairs as reasons for the breakup.
The ex-girlfriend has daughters Natasha, 21, and Ella, 18.
Prior to his romance with Cordeiro, Rodriguez dated model Katherine Padgett and was engaged to Grammy Award winner Jennifer Lopez.
