A-Rod's Daughters: All Grown Up and Making a Rare Public Appearance
In a heartwarming display, Alex Rodriguez's daughters, Ella and Natasha, stole the spotlight during a rare public outing. The former baseball star, now 50, beamed with pride as he posed alongside his girls at the premiere of his documentary, "Alex Vs. ARodin," in New York City.
But here's where it gets controversial... Rodriguez, or ARod as he's known, confirmed his romance with Jaclyn Cordeiro through an Instagram post. And this is the part most people miss: he also brought Cordeiro and his mother, Lourdes Rodriguez, to the event, creating a unique family dynamic on the red carpet.
Natasha, 20, and Ella, 17, looked absolutely stunning. Natasha complemented her dad's relaxed black suit with a sleek black leather halter dress and an updo, while Ella opted for a chic blue skirt set. It's clear that these young women have inherited their father's sense of style and confidence.
However, being a dad to two busy young adults isn't without its challenges. ARod admitted to Parents magazine that keeping up with Natasha, who's studying at the University of Michigan, and Ella, a high school senior, is an extra task. He expressed his joy at seeing them develop with high self-esteem and good intentions, but also acknowledged the protective nature of fatherhood, especially when it comes to his daughters.
"There's a special bond between dads and girls, and it's scary," he said. "If I had a boy, I'd probably just throw him out on the field, and it's just less worry. But with your girls, you got to be more protective."
So, what's his parenting approach now that his daughters are entering new chapters in their lives? ARod described it as "a lot of love, a lot of fun, with like 20 percent stern." He believes his daughters respect his high standards and don't want to disappoint him.
