Alex Rodriguez’s former girlfriend, Jaclyn Cordeiro, has shared a candid post about finding “peace” following the couple’s recent split. The fitness instructor, 46, recently posted an Instagram photo of herself relaxing on a beach lounge chair in a bikini, basking in the sun. In the caption, she reflected on the importance of allowing oneself to unwind and take time for personal well-being.
“Protect Your Time” and “Accept What You Can’t Control” are two key themes that emerged from her message.
“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,” she began.
Cordeiro emphasized the need to set boundaries. “Protect your time. Peace often starts with boundaries. Not every call, invitation, conflict, or expectation deserves access to you,” she wrote.
She also encouraged readers to accept things they cannot control. “Accept what you can’t control. The need to fix everyone and everything steals peace faster than almost anything,” she continued.
In a more cryptic tone, Cordeiro spoke about making space for oneself 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,” she said.
The relationship between Cordeiro and Rodriguez, who is 50, began in October 2022, and they went public with their romance later that year. However, the couple recently confirmed their split.
On May 21, Cordeiro told TMZ that she and Rodriguez had decided to take some time apart after nearly four years together. “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,” she said.
She added, “I’m also navigating a serious health matter involving a family member at this time, so my focus is understandably there.”
Rodriguez was previously engaged to Jennifer Lopez, with whom he dated from February 2017 until April 2021. After their engagement ended, Lopez began dating Ben Affleck, with whom she had a previous relationship from 2002 to 2004.
They reconnected after Lopez’s split in mid-2021 and married in July 2022. However, their relationship eventually ended, and they finalized their divorce in February 2025.
During an interview with comedian Nikki Glaser in October 2024 for Interview, Lopez was asked if she regretted her marriage to Affleck. “Not one second,” she replied. “That doesn’t mean it didn’t almost take me out for good. It almost did. But now, on the other side of it, I think to myself, ‘F—, that is exactly what I needed. Thank you, God. I’m sorry it took me so long. I’m sorry that you had to do this to me so many times.’”
