Alex Rodriguez, 48, is really thriving following his split from Jennifer Lopez, 54, who he dated for four years before they called it quits in March 2021. And it looks like he has his new girlfriend, fitness instructor Jaclyn ‘Jac’ Cordeiro, 44, to thank for it!
Last year, the former New York Yankee candidly told his Instagram followers that Cordeiro, who he has been linked to since October 2022, had helped him lose a super-impressive 32 lbs – and the evidence of their hard work was more than evident in one of his latest social media pictures!
Alex Rodriguez Flaunts His Trim New Figure On Instagram
The baseball star flaunted his super-trim and impressive figure in a shirtless mirror picture with his girlfriend, which he shared on his Instagram Story at the start of the year. A-Rod is striking a pose in some dark-colored shorts and a dark pair of sunglasses, while the businesswoman and fitness model is showing off her insanely toned and sculpted figure in some tight workout shorts and a matching black crop top with a plunging front. They both look incredible!
Rodriguez knows that having a fitness instructor girlfriend definitely has its perks, as he previously credited Cordeiro for helping him achieve his new figure. A-Rod candidly told his fans about his health journey on Instagram back in September, 2023, which he said he embarked on after his family told him that he was looking "unhealthy" at the end of 2021. The post included a side-by-side comparison of his old and new figure, among a few other pictures, and all we can say is wow!
Alex Rodriguez Credits Girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro With 32-Lb Weight Loss
"This is a vulnerable post, but I am going to share anyway because the last year of my health journey has been life changing," his candid September 2023 post began. "At the end of 2021, my family pointed out that I was looking unhealthy. Not what you want to hear, but I knew I wasn't my best self."
The baseball star went into more detail about some of the changes he has made since the end of 2021 which contributed to his epic weight loss, writing: "It all came down to me making some key changes in my habits: 1. More plants, less red meat 2. Intermittent fasting 3. Night walks. Small changes led to big results, and I'm feeling better than ever."
He also thanked the Canadian fitness instructor, owner of the JacFit brand, for her support throughout the process, adding, "Thank you @jac_lynfit for being my guide and support. You coached me up to stay dedicated, motivated and improve each day."
Back in December, a source told People that Rodriguez and Cordeiro had a lot of similarities, even suggesting that he had met his match, saying: "She may be as strict about her own regimen as he is. Alex and Jaclyn are both fitness obsessed and into exercise and body building."
Talking to Us Weekly last year about how Cordeiro has helped him and countless other people on their fitness journeys, Rodriguez said: "What I love about what she's done in JacFit and the amount of people that she's influenced is the reaction that I see from people to her. It's really mind-blowing."
He continued to praise his beau, and went on to say that her previous history as a nurse has been a huge plus with her work as a fitness instructor, adding: "I see what she's done in my life, with my health. She comes at it from a very proactive place and helps you get in tremendous shape so you hopefully don't have to be sick and prevent any type of health issues. She's used to taking care of people that are sick."
