Jaclyn Cordeiro appears to be focusing on healing and self-care following her recent split from Alex Rodriguez. Just days after confirming that she and the former New York Yankees star had ended their relationship, the fitness coach shared a reflective message on social media about protecting her peace and prioritizing her wellbeing.

The 46-year-old took to Instagram with a glamorous photo of herself relaxing poolside in a silver bikini while offering followers some life advice.

"POV: You're in your 40s and realize peace is the new luxury," she began in the lengthy caption.

Jaclyn went on to explain that peace comes from "protecting your energy, releasing control, and giving yourself permission to rest," before sharing three lessons she has embraced. The first was learning to protect her time through healthy boundaries.

"Peace often starts with boundaries," she wrote. "Not every call, invitation, conflict, or expectation deserves access to you."

Her second piece of advice focused on accepting what cannot be controlled rather than trying to solve every problem. "Resist the need to fix everyone and everything," she urged. "Focus energy where you actually have influence."

Finally, Jaclyn encouraged her followers to make time for themselves without feeling guilty, whether that means taking a walk, sitting in the sun or simply doing nothing at all. "It's maintenance for the person carrying so much," she wrote before signing off the post with, "Jac."

While she did not directly mention Alex in the post, the timing was notable as it came just days after news of the couple's breakup became public.

On Thursday, May 21 2026, she confirmed to TMZ that she and the 50-year-old former baseball player had 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 told the outlet.

"We remain supportive of one another, and there is absolutely no animosity, drama, or negative story here."

Jaclyn also revealed that her attention is currently focused on a serious family matter.

"I'm also navigating a serious health matter involving a family member at this time, so my focus is understandably there," she explained.

The fitness entrepreneur and Alex were first linked romantically in October 2022. Two months later, the former MLB star made their relationship Instagram official by sharing a festive family photograph featuring Jaclyn, his daughters Natasha and Ella, and a decorated Christmas tree.
