Alex Rodriguez is enjoying the warmth of summer with his family and loved ones on the historic streets of Italy.
It's vacay season for the businessman who was spotted on a family getaway in Italy with his partner Jaclyn Cordeiro and kids after his highly publicized romantic journey with ex Jennifer Lopez a few years ago.
Alex Rodriguez confirmed his relationship with fitness guru Jaclyn Cordeiro two years ago, and they have strengthened their bond since then.

Rodriguez, his two teenage girls, and his girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro stepped out in style as they walked outdoors in Italy.
The New York native looked dapper in a white shirt and black shorts ensemble paired with matching white sneakers and was flanked closely by Cordeiro, who opted for a striped mini dress and white dress ensemble.
Rodriguez's daughters also kept things super stylish with their casual choices of shorts, crop tops, and white sneakers, respectively. The entire crew looked relaxed and ready to celebrate the former athlete's 49th birthday the Italian way.

A-Rod, as he is fondly called, was in a very public relationship with actress Lopez and even proposed with a gigantic diamond ring, and since then, he has kept his subsequent relationships under the radar.
However, the athlete did not hesitate to tell the world he had found love again in Cordeiro's arms after his brief relationship with Kathryne Padgett ended in September 2022.
The real estate mogul shared a picture of himself at a Christmas party with his kids and the fitness expert, who also holds a master's degree in Nursing. The team of four, like their current Italy adventure, looked happy as they posed in front of a charming Christmas tree.
Per The Blast, Rodriguez and his beau set off the rumor mill in October 2022 when they were photographed holding hands outside New York and walking down the street. They also stopped at a store in Beverly Hills to check out some items on display.
At that time, a source close to the couple confirmed that the pair enjoyed each other's company and the fact that she is also a mother of two, and a lover of fitness brought them closer.

They ranked high on the list of Hollywood's hottest couples at that time and dated for two years plus, appearing on red carpets together and taking romantic vacations.
Rodriguez soon proposed to the mom of two with a 15-carat diamond ring estimated to cost about $1 million in March 2019. However, the lovebirds announced in April 2021 in a joint statement that they were better as friends and looked forward to remaining so, adding that:
"We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared business and projects."
Rodriguez also doubled down on their decision when he shared a few weeks after the announcement which broke hearts across Hollywood that he was ready to begin a new phase of life.

Rodriguez and Jlo's relationship was nothing short of good while it lasted. In 2017, the singer appeared on the "Ellen DeGeneres" Show and explained how she met the former athlete.
Per PEOPLE, Lopez revealed she was having lunch somewhere and caught a glance of Rodriguez, which made her step outside and, for some reason, felt like tapping him on the shoulder.
However, Rodriguez took the cue and made the first move by texting the superstar, and they began dating.
"He texted me, said, 'Let's go out to dinner,' and I said, 'Okay.' We had a nice dinner," Lopez described the fated meeting, which Rodriguez also confirmed on the same show in 2018.

Well, according to new reports, the 54-year-old singer is planning to make the big move to the Big Apple amid her marital drama with Ben Affleck, and In Touch shared that a possible reunion with Rodriguez might be on the horizon.
According to sources close to her, the move has been in her plans for a while now but has definitely been accelerated by her rumored split with Affleck.
However, she will probably retain her place in Los Angeles despite moving, but for now, she wants to get away from all the noise and media attention.
Her twins were also on board with the decision and will experience a smooth transition as they have got "plenty of schools back east," and the actress has developed a "great social circle" in New York.
As for her position with A-Rod, the source stated that they had an intense connection during the relationship and that he was "devastated when they split up." However, many of their mutual friends are not convinced that he is happier without her.
"He's not married or engaged, so at this point, it's not beyond the realm that they could reconnect," concluded the source.
