Alex Rodriguez’s ex-girlfriend, Jaclyn Cordeiro, is sending a message about “peace” after the pair called it quits.
“POV: You’re in your 40s and realize peace is the new luxury. Peace comes from protecting your energy, releasing control, and giving yourself permission to rest,” Cordeiro, 46, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, May 26. “1. Protect your time. Peace often starts with boundaries. Not every call, invitation, conflict, or expectation deserves access to you.”
She continued, “2. Accept what you can’t control. The need to fix everyone and everything steals peace faster than almost anything. Focus energy where you actually have influence. 3. Make space for yourself without guilt. Even one quiet hour to rest, walk, sit in the sun, or do nothing is not selfish. It’s maintenance for the person carrying so much. Jac🫶🏻.”
Days prior, Cordeiro shared that she and Rodriguez, 50, had gone their separate ways.
“To clarify, Alex and I are currently taking some time apart, but there continues to be mutual love, care and deep respect between us and for our families. We remain supportive of one another, and there is absolutely no animosity, drama or negative story here,” Cordeiro told TMZ in a statement published on May 21.
The statement continued, “I’m also navigating a serious health matter involving a family member at this time, so my focus is understandably there. Alex and I continue to be very close, and out of respect for everyone involved, especially our daughters and loved ones, I’d kindly ask that any reporting reflects the compassion and privacy this situation deserves.”
Us Weekly confirmed in October 2022 that Rodriguez began dating Cordeiro. Prior to his relationship with Cordeiro, Rodriguez was married to ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis until their split in 2008. The pair share daughters Natasha, 21, and Ella, 18. He was also engaged to Jennifer Lopez from 2019 to 2021.
In 2023, Rodriguez recalled a pivotal moment in his life when Cordiero was there for him.
“I went with Jac, and we were waiting for Natasha [before we left]. We got there early to her dorms, and we saw a handful of parents saying goodbye to their children,” he recalled to Us at the time of move-in day. “And it was funny, every time it was exactly the same. The parents were a mess. The father would go into the driver’s seat, the mom would give the hug to the young man or the young woman, and every time it was like the mom crying and the child consoling, [which was] kind of cute. It was no different with me.”
