Jaclyn Cordeiro is emphasizing healing and self-care following her recent separation from Alex Rodriguez. Just days after confirming the end of her relationship with the former New York Yankees star, the fitness coach shared a reflective message on social media regarding the importance of protecting her peace and prioritizing her well-being.
Finding Luxury in Tranquility
The 46-year-old fitness entrepreneur took to Instagram with a striking image of herself relaxing by a pool in a silver bikini, offering her followers life advice. “POV: You’re in your 40s and realize peace is the new luxury,” she began in an extensive caption. Cordeiro elaborated that peace is achieved through “protecting your energy, releasing control, and giving yourself permission to rest,” before detailing three key lessons she has adopted.
Key Lessons for Well-being
Her first lesson focused on safeguarding her time through establishing healthy boundaries. “Peace often starts with boundaries,” she wrote. “Not every call, invitation, conflict, or expectation deserves access to you.” The second piece of advice centered on accepting what is beyond one’s control, rather than attempting to resolve every issue. “Resist the need to fix everyone and everything,” she urged. “Focus energy where you actually have influence.” Finally, Cordeiro encouraged her followers to allocate time for themselves without guilt, whether that involves a walk, basking in the sun, or simply doing nothing.
“It’s maintenance for the person carrying so much,” she concluded, signing off the post as “Jac.” While Alex Rodriguez was not directly mentioned, the timing of the post was significant, arriving shortly after news of their breakup became public.
Confirmation of Separation
On Thursday, May 21, 2026, Cordeiro confirmed to a media outlet that she and the 50-year-old former baseball player had mutually decided to take time apart after more than two 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,” she stated. “We remain supportive of one another, and there is absolutely no animosity, drama, or negative story here.”
Focus on Family Matters
Cordeiro also disclosed that her current attention is directed towards a significant family health issue. “I’m also navigating a serious health matter involving a family member at this time, so my focus is understandably there,” she explained.
Relationship Timeline
The fitness entrepreneur and Alex Rodriguez were first romantically linked in October 2022. Two months later, the former MLB star made their relationship Instagram official by sharing a festive family photograph that included Cordeiro, his daughters Natasha and Ella, and a decorated Christmas tree.
