As of October 27th, 2025, former New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez's girlfriend, Jaclyn Cordeiro, is a prominent social media fitness influencer who helps inspire people in their transformation journey. Cordeiro, who has assisted Rodriguez in staying in shape after his retirement, recently reacted to A-Rod's pushup duel with Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz.
The two iconic MLB players, who shared a rivalry during their playing days, brought that same competitive energy while doing pushups during a broadcasting break. The duo, along with Yankees great Derek Jeter, is part of the MLB on Fox crew for the ongoing postseason.
A-Rod shared a video of the pushup challenge on Instagram, writing, "When two former athletes get a commercial break." Cordeiro, who competed in a bodybuilding competition in Canada last month, praised the MLB icons with a three-word reaction: "Great form boys."
The pushup challenge took place as the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday. The Dodgers bounced back from a tough Game 1 loss, where the Blue Jays scored nine runs in an inning, to defeat Toronto 5-1 and tie the series.
