Jaclyn Cordeiro is focusing on protecting her peace following her recent breakup from former baseball star Alex Rodriguez.
Just days after news surfaced that the couple had gone their separate ways, the fitness coach took to Instagram to share a thoughtful message about prioritizing personal well-being and setting boundaries.
Alongside a photo of herself relaxing poolside in a silver bikini, Cordeiro opened up about what she has learned as she's gotten older.
"POV: You're in your 40s and realize peace is the new luxury," she wrote.
Why Peace Has Become Her Top Priority
In her lengthy post, Cordeiro explained that peace isn't something that simply happens. Instead, it's something that requires intention and self-care.
"Peace comes from protecting your energy, releasing control, and giving yourself permission to rest," she wrote before outlining three key ways people can create more peace in their lives.
The first lesson, according to Cordeiro, is learning how to protect your time.
"Peace often starts with boundaries," she explained. "Not every call, invitation, conflict, or expectation deserves access to you."
Her message quickly caught attention as fans connected it to her recent split from Rodriguez.
Dealing With Personal Challenges
Cordeiro also revealed that she is currently facing challenges beyond the end of her relationship.
She shared that a family member is dealing with a serious health issue, which has shifted her priorities.
"I'm also navigating a serious health matter involving a family member at this time, so my focus is understandably there," she wrote.
The fitness expert made it clear that her energy is currently centered on family and maintaining balance during a difficult period.
Alex Rodriguez and Jaclyn Cordeiro Call It Quits
The social media post comes shortly after Cordeiro publicly confirmed that she and Rodriguez had ended their relationship.
While neither has shared details about what led to the breakup, a source previously told PEOPLE that the pair remain on good terms despite going their separate ways.
According to the insider, the former couple are still "good friends" following the end of their three-year romance.
How Their Relationship Began
Rodriguez and Cordeiro were first linked in October 2022 before making their relationship Instagram official later that year.
The retired New York Yankees star introduced Cordeiro to his followers with a holiday family photo that featured the couple posing in front of a Christmas tree alongside his daughters, Natasha and Ella.
The relationship appeared to blend their families, as Cordeiro is also a mother to two daughters of her own.
A Shared Passion for Fitness
One of the things that initially brought the pair together was their mutual dedication to health and fitness.
A source told PEOPLE that both Rodriguez and Cordeiro were deeply committed to their workout routines and healthy lifestyles.
"She may be as strict about her own regimen as he is," the insider said at the time. "Alex and Jaclyn are both fitness-obsessed and into exercise and bodybuilding."
The source added that fitness plays a major role in Rodriguez's life and is something he values highly in a partner.
"He would not date anyone for a few months or longer who was not into daily fitness. It is a major part of his life."
