"I’m also navigating a serious health matter involving a family member at this time, so my focus is understandably there. Alex and I continue to be very close, and out of respect for everyone involved especially our daughters and loved ones I’d kindly ask that any reporting reflects the compassion and privacy this situation deserves."
TMZ cited a source from Rodriguez who said the two have actually been apart for two months, although Rodriguez did like one of her recent Instagram posts from May 6. The two still follow each other on Instagram.
Rodriguez's last post with Cordiero was back on Valentine's Day, which is also her birthday.
"My ride or die, thank you for making me smile every day," Rodriguez said in the caption.
Rodriguez has two daughters with his ex-wife, Cynthia Scurtis. The couple recently spent time together to celebrate their youngest daughter's high school graduation.
Rodriguez was the first overall pick in the 1993 MLB Draft and hit 696 home runs during his career with the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and New York Yankees.
However, his ties to performance-enhancing drugs have kept him from being elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He served the longest PED suspension in the history of the sport, missing the entire 2014 season.
