Claim 3: “Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez and girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro have called it quits after more than three years together”

MISLEADING

While TMZ reports they are 'taking some time apart', the claim that they were together for 'more than three years' is contradicted by multiple sources stating they were first linked in October 2022, which would make the relationship approximately 2 years, not 3+.
