He 'Took a Step Down': Fans Blast J-Lo's Ex's Girlfriend & Describe Her as 'Masculine'

• Alex Rodriguez's fans mocked his new girlfriend, comparing her to his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez.
• However, Lopez has moved on and married a man she once fell in love with and dated some years ago.

On September 11, 2023, Alex Rodriguez, 48, openly discussed his new girlfriend, Jaclyn Cordeiro, 44. The couple has been in a relationship for around a year, and the former athlete couldn't be more in love with her.

The star noted how Cordeiro has been remarkable not only for himself but for his ex-wife, Cynthia Curtis, 50. He gushed over his newest partner, noting how she was the only person who could develop a relationship with the co-parents and make them both better.

Affectionately calling his girlfriend "Jac," he shared how she'd gotten Curtis and him in great shape by following her JacFit exercise program. In his case, the celebrity says he's lost a whopping 32 pounds using her program.

Rodriguez and Cordeiro were first linked together in October 2022. A source believed the former New York Yankee player had met his match in the fitness instructor who is as strict about her exercise regimen as much as he is.

The insider said the pair are both equally obsessed with body-building and exercise. The person believed the Canadian woman was "serious" about the former athlete but doesn't see him getting too committed about anyone.

Despite having broken up with his former fiancée, Lopez, in July 2022, when he spoke about her, Rodriguez only had good things to say. Speaking to Martha Stewart on her podcast, the star said he had told some of his colleagues the other day that the singer is the "most talented human being" he's ever been around.

He described her as a hard worker and the most outstanding live performer in the world today. In April 2021, the television personality and Lopez revealed their two-year engagement and relationship was over.

The former couple said they'd realized they are "better as friends" and will continue being that, working together and supporting each other's business ventures and projects.

The duo wished one another and their respective children the best. On February 14, 2023, Rodriguez uploaded an Instagram video with various clips of Cordeiro bonding with him and his children to celebrate her birthday.

While most people responded kindly to the post, some followers shared their disapproval of the fitness instructor. One person laughed, writing, "She's not Jen," another wrote she looked "scary," and a third one added:

"Wow, someone took a step down…"

Someone else criticized Rodriguez's girlfriend, saying the "blonde lady" looks "very masculine." A social media troll also quipped, "No man[!] JLO was better that (sic) her!!" and believed Lopez "was too good for him."

Sharing the private details of their relationship allegedly left Affleck feeling uneasy.

Irrespective of the lack of support from some fans on Rodriguez's relationship with Cordeiro, he and Lopez cannot become an item again. The "Hustlers" actress is off the market as she fell in love with a man who had stolen her heart in the past.

Who Is Jennifer Lopez Married to Now?

In 2022, Lopez confessed how "painful" it was after she and Ben Affleck called off their wedding and broke up almost 20 years ago. The musician further described it as the "biggest heartbreak" of her life, and she felt like she was "gonna die" spiraling for the next eighteen years.

In a November 2022 interview, the actress said she survived by "working more." However, sources claimed that the "Batman" star is "feeling wary" over his wife's insecurities over their previous break up since they reconciled and finally tied the knot in July 2022.

Sharing the private details of their relationship allegedly left Affleck feeling uneasy. However, Lopez, legally Mrs. Affleck, said she is proud that she and her partner are now husband and wife.

The singer is comfortable taking the traditional route in accepting her husband's last name. However, she still felt in control of her life and destiny and felt empowered as a person and woman, but she understood how others struggled with her choosing to take Affleck's last name.

Instead, Rodriguez's ex-fiancée thinks her move is romantic as it carries tradition. The duo appeared happy and content despite various reports about trouble in paradise, including the couple's May 2023 public "rage-filled" exchange.
