Alex Rodriguez and Jaclyn Cordeiro turn heads at NBA All-Star 2026 as $244.6M Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards steals MVP spotlight

The 2026 NBA All-Star weekend was discussed not only because of the action on the court but also because former New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez and his partner Jaclyn Cordeiro were seen enjoying the game from courtside seats. The couple attended the 75th NBA All-Star Game at Intuit Dome in California, where Rodriguez shared moments from the night through his Instagram stories. His post simply read, “NBA All Star 2026,” giving fans a quick look at their outing.

While the cameras often found them in the crowd, the biggest headlines came from the game itself. Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, who signed a five-year contract extension worth about $244.6 million in 2023, delivered a strong performance and walked away with the All-Star MVP honor. Rodriguez, who is also a co-owner of the Timberwolves, later celebrated Edwards by reposting a photo of the young star holding the MVP trophy.

Anthony Edwards was one of the biggest names of the night. The 24-year-old guard scored 32 points across three games in the new All-Star format and received 10 out of 14 MVP votes.

His strong season has already made him a key figure in the league, averaging 29.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists over 46 games.

After the event, Edwards said, “I like this format. I think it makes us compete, because it’s only 12 minutes and the three different teams, you separate the guys, I think it was really good.”

Rodriguez’s support for Edwards highlighted his connection to the Timberwolves organization. Beyond the basketball excitement, his personal life also drew attention.



Just days earlier, Rodriguez publicly celebrated Jaclyn Cordeiro’s 46th birthday with a heartfelt Instagram message.

He wrote, “Happy Valentine’s Day and happy birthday to the woman who does it all, @jac_lynfit. My ride or die, thank you for making me smile every day.”

The couple also marked Valentine’s Day together at the Sunset Tower Hotel in California before wrapping up the week courtside at the All-Star Game.

Their appearance added an extra layer of celebrity buzz to a weekend already filled with major basketball moments.
