Alex Rodriguez Moves On With Fitness Coach After Jaclyn Cordeiro Split

Baseball legend Alex Rodriguez isn’t wasting time bouncing back from his split with Jaclyn Cordeiro. The 50-year-old was spotted getting cozy at Michael Rubin’s White Party in the Hamptons over the July 4 weekend, and the mystery woman has now been identified as private fitness coach Meghan Hayden.

According to an insider, the two are officially dating, and it’s fresh.“They are dating. It’s new. She’s a really nice person from a great family,”the source told Page Six. For those keeping score at home, Rodriguez has had quite the romantic journey in recent years. His engagement to Jennifer Lopez lasted from 2019 to 2021, and he’d been with Cordeiro since at least October 2022 before they announced they were taking time apart in May.

The timing of Rodriguez’s new romance comes just weeks after Cordeiro shared a thoughtful statement about their split. She emphasized that despite stepping back from their relationship, there’s“mutual love, care and deep respect”between them. Cordeiro also noted she was navigating a serious health matter involving a family member, so her focus understandably shifted. The whole thing had a mature, low-drama vibe — a stark contrast to how celebrity breakups often play out in the tabloid sphere.

As for the White Party itself, it was nearly moved due to another major celebrity event: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s reported nuptials in New York City on Friday, July 3. But Rubin, the billionaire entrepreneur, clarified that while they were aware of the date, the party’s timing wasn’t changed because of it.“People come to the White Party no matter when we do it,”Rubin told People.

Rodriguez, who shares two daughters with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis (they divorced in 2008), seems to be in a good place. He’s been open about his fitness journey recently, including a notable 30-pound weight loss. Whether things heat up with Hayden or this is just another chapter in his post-J.Lo era remains to be seen.
