Move over, J.Lo — there's a new lady in Alex Rodriguez's life, and she's already stealing the spotlight. Meet Meghan Hayden, a New York City fitness coach who's been turning heads both on and off the beach this summer.
Hayden, who boasts a solid 173,000 Instagram followers, was spotted with the former Yankees slugger at Michael Rubin's star-studded Fourth of July bash in the Hamptons. According to Page Six, the couple has been soaking up the sun out East, hitting up Sag Harbor and the beachfront eatery Bounce Beach in Montauk.
But Hayden isn't just a plus-one — she's been busy too. Over the weekend, she led a workout class at Montauk's Surf Lodge, hosted by the fitness-based dating app ATeam, where she serves as an investor and founding committee member. Talk about multitasking.
While it's unclear whether A-Rod and Hayden are headed for the long haul, the fitness guru has already won over the MLB community. Earlier this week, she posted a heartfelt birthday message for Rodriguez that raised eyebrows, and then followed it up with a swimsuit snapshot that sent fans into a frenzy.
“Meg is living the life,” one fan commented on her post, while another simply wrote, “Beautiful.” The swimsuit photo, which Hayden shared on Instagram, quickly became a hot topic among baseball enthusiasts, drawing plenty of admiration.
Hayden's summer style is reminiscent of other athletes' significant others who've made waves online, like Danica Patrick's stunning European getaway or Sophie Cunningham's daring white swimsuit comeback. It seems the sports world just can't get enough of these bold summer looks.
Rodriguez's dating history is a who's who of celebrity romances. Before Hayden, he was with women's strength and longevity coach Jacyln Cordeiro. Their split in May was confirmed by TMZ, with Cordeiro releasing a statement that read, “Alex and I are currently taking some time apart, but there continues to be mutual love, care, and deep respect between us and for our families. We remain supportive of one another, and there is absolutely no animosity, drama, or negative story here. I’m also navigating a serious health matter involving a family member at this time, so my focus is understandably there.”
Prior to Cordeiro, Rodriguez was engaged to pop superstar Jennifer Lopez, a relationship that ended in 2021 after two years. And during his MLB career, he famously dated WWE icon Torrie Wilson, as well as actresses Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson.
Now, with Hayden by his side, A-Rod seems to be enjoying a sun-soaked summer romance that's got everyone talking. Whether they'll go the distance remains to be seen, but for now, it's clear that Meghan Hayden is making quite the splash in the sports world.
