The former teammates Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez have had quite a few women in their lives. The list of women that Jeter dated is full of rumors as he usually never talked about any of his relationships. But it was quite different with his former teammate Alex Rodriguez. He has always been open about who he is dating and never shies away from professing his love in public.

Few years ago, Rodriguez got help from one of Jeter’s rumored ex to get back in the right mental shape for his return to the 2016 season of MLB. In the 2015 season, Alex had a great year after coming back from the suspension. And he wanted to show people that Alex in the 2015 season was no fluke. Also, he was going to get even better.
