Alex Rodriguez, 48, thanks Jaclyn Cordeiro, 44, for helping him lose 32 pounds in ‘vulnerable’ post… 2 years after crediting Jennifer Lopez with keeping him healthy

Alex Rodriguez has thanked his girlfriend for her “guide and support” during his “health journey.”

The 48-year-old former baseball player overhauled his diet and lifestyle to lose more than 30 pounds after his loved ones warned him he “looked unhealthy” and he praised fitness guru Jaclyn Cordeiro for all the help she’s given him.

Alongside a headline about his weight loss, Alex wrote on Instagram: ‘This is a vulnerable post, but I’m going to share it anyway because the last year of my health journey has changed my life.

‘At the end of 2021, my family pointed out that I looked unhealthy. Not what you want to hear, but I knew I wasn’t my best self.

This comes two years after he credited Jennifer Lopez, his former fiancée, with keeping him sane.

‘It all came down to me making some key changes to my habits: 1. More plants, less red meat 2. Intermittent fasting 3. Night walks. Small changes have led to big results, and I feel better than ever.

“Thank you @jac_lynfit for being my guide and support. You have coached me to stay committed, motivated and improve every day.”

Alex recently revealed that Jaclyn has also helped his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis – with whom he has daughters Natasha, 18, and 15-year-old Ella – through her own weight-loss journey.

He told Us Weekly magazine earlier this month: “Look, she’s been great to me and Cynthia.

“(Jac is) the only person who can co-parent and make us both better.

“Cynthia got in incredible shape after the JacFit program (and) I lost 32 pounds after her program.”

The retired sportsman noted that his girlfriend’s background in nursing means she “comes from a world of being very caring and proactive,” which he said has benefited her fitness business.

He said: ‘She is used to caring for people who are sick.

“I see what she’s done in my life, with my health (and with) Cynthia to name a few. She takes a very proactive approach and helps you get into great shape so that you hopefully don’t have to be sick and can avoid health problems.”
