With an immediate display of his extreme power-hitting abilities in the early days of his playing career, Alex Rodriguez established himself as a rising superstar in baseball. However, A-Rod wasn’t simply the youngest debutant for the Mariners. The eventual Yankee, who is worth around $350 million today, was also an extremely charismatic individual who successfully managed to gather popularity amongst ladies during and even after his playing career.

Who has Alex Rodriguez dated?

That being said, throughout the start of his MLB career – the time A-Rod spent with the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers, he was in a relationship with Cynthia Scurtis. Notably, he went on to marry Cynthia later. But since A-Rod’s marriage with Cynthia came to an end, he started competing with his friend-turned-foe Derek Jeter as the Yankees bad boy. As a result, following his divorce from Cynthia, A-Rod, who was a father to two daughters, went on a spree of high-profile and rather unsuccessful relationships.

A-Rod and his wife Cynthia welcome their two daughters Natasha and Ella in 2004 and 2008, respectively.

However, shortly after the birth of his second daughter, Ella, in July 2008, Cynthia Scurtis filed for divorce from A-Rod after citing emotional abandonment. Although never confirmed, this occurred concurrently with the time when A-Rod was in a rumored extra-marital affair with pop sensation Madonna.

Bethenny Frankel

In 2009, a few months after A-Rod’s marriage came to an end, Bethenny Frankel went on two dates with the Yankees slugger. Bethenny, who’s popular for her role in The Real Housewives of New York City, never confirmed or denied this fling.

Kate Hudson

In May 2009, Alex Rodriguez and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star Kate Hudson started dating. Since both were at the peak of their careers, their short-lived romance helped their popularity amongst the sporting and entertainment world.

While their relationship lasted only for a few months, the couple shared multiple moments together, including A-Rod’s only World Series Championship victory in November 2009. In December 2009, they parted ways.

Cameron Diaz

From 2010 to 2011, Alex Rodriguez dated Cameron Diaz, 50, who rose to fame with her role in the movie Charlie’s Angels. Notably, this relationship with Diaz was amongst A-Rod’s longest relationships in the time after his divorce.

The couple dated from 2010 to 2011, and during this period, she spent time with the MLB star’s daughters. Cameron Diaz also moved to Miami to be closer to A-Rod before splitting from him in 2011.

Torrie Wilson

A-Rod’s longest relationship before he eventually met Jennifer Lopez in 2017 was when he dated WWE star Torrie Wilson for three years from 2011 to 2014.

The Yankee star, who faced suspension from the MLB in 2014, parted ways with Wilson due to mutually shared commitment issues.

Anne Wojcicki

After the end of his relationship with Torrie Wilson, A-Rod started dating tech CEO and 23andMe founder Anne Wojcicki. However, within a year of being together from 2016 to 2017, the couple parted ways.

From the very beginning, the couple’s formation was an uncanny match, given their highly differing backgrounds and minimum commonalities.

Jennifer Lopez

Out of all his high-profile relationships, A-Rod’s most popular relationship was with pop sensation Jennifer Lopez. Ever since their first meeting in 2017, the couple instantly clicked and slowly displayed an extremely adorable, supportive, and wholesome relationship.

Two years into their relationship, Jennifer Lopez said “yes.” to A-Rod’s proposal. In 2019, the ex-couple announced their engagement through an Instagram post.

However, despite the public strongly believing in A-Rod and JLo to eventually get married, the couple parted ways in 2021 after two failed attempts at getting married. They announced the end of their engagement in a joint address. Both stated that their relationship ran its course. However, rumors surrounding possible infidelity from A-Rod and trust issues amongst the couple surfaced at the same time as well.

Kathryne Padgett

After his breakup with Jennifer Lopez in April 2021, A-Rod spent lots of time with his two daughters and friends. Eventually, in January 2022, A-Rod started dating a fitness model, Kathryne Padgett. The rumored couple attended several NFL and NBA games together and even went on a vacation. But eventually, they called it quits in September 2022 after being together for about eight months.

Reportedly, their relationship was not too serious and came to an amicable and drama-free end with the couple remaining friends in September 2022.

Alex Rodriguez’s new girlfriend, Jaclyn Cordeiro

A few months after A-Rod and Kat Padgett broke up, Rodriguez started dating fitness coach Jaclyn Cordeiro during the MLB postseason. The rumors of their relationship first went live through a picture of A-Rod alongside David Ortiz and Jac. Now, it’s almost been six months since they started dating.
