Alex Rodriguez Opens Up About His Brief Romance with Cameron Diaz
Even more than a decade later, the short-lived romance between Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz still captures public fascination. The former New York Yankees star and the Oscar-winning actress dated between 2010 and 2011, shortly after Rodriguez helped the Yankees clinch the 2009 World Series. While their time together was brief, it was marked by memorable moments that neither has frequently discussed—until now.
Rodriguez addressed the relationship in the final episode of his HBO docuseries Alex vs. A-Rod , released on November 20. As images of himself and Diaz appeared on screen, he reflected on that period of his life. He admitted, “I feel like the World Series came and went. I was basically at the pinnacle of my baseball career. But there was a lot going on at the time.” Beyond these words, little detail about the romance was shared, leaving viewers with only a glimpse of its intensity.
Rumors of their connection first surfaced in May 2010, when the pair were reportedly spotted spending time together in Boston’s Liberty Hotel. Initially, both denied dating, but over the following months, their relationship became public. They were photographed scouting property in Miami, where Rodriguez was building a home, and celebrated holidays together in Mexico, signaling a bond that went beyond casual dating.

Despite their closeness, the relationship was relatively short. By September 2011, after roughly a year and a half together, the romance came to an end. During that time, Diaz was even introduced to Rodriguez’s two daughters. Yet, even after their breakup, Rodriguez continued to speak warmly of the actress. In a 2012 interview on The Insider , he described her as “probably one of the greatest human beings I’ve ever met, and just an amazing light.”
Diaz herself reflected on the emotional depth of their connection. Speaking to Elle UK during their relationship, she said, “All I want for him is happiness. All he wants is my happiness. His isn’t reliant on me, and mine isn’t on him.” After the breakup, in an InStyle interview, she shared how the experience underscored her capacity for love, stating, “I would rather have my heart broken a thousand times than never to love at all. I have so much love to give. I’m not empty of love, I’m full of love.”
The docuseries not only revisits Rodriguez’s Hollywood romances but also chronicles his baseball career and personal challenges. He candidly reflects on his past, including his marriage to ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis and rumors surrounding his alleged affair with Madonna, which he denied. Through it all, the segment on Diaz serves as a reminder of a fleeting but meaningful chapter in both their lives—a chapter still remembered fondly, more than a decade later.
