In 2023, Rodriguez publicly praised Cordeiro for helping transform his health and lifestyle through her JacFit fitness program. “Look, she’s been incredible for me and for Cynthia,” Rodriguez told Us Weekly at the time, referencing his ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis.
“[Jac is] the only person that can come into co-parents and make us both better. Cynthia has got in incredible shape following the JacFit program, [and] I’ve lost 32 pounds following her program,” he said.
