Just three months after her split from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, or J.Lo as we all know her, was spotted holding hands with a handsome new member of her security team.
This has sparked quite a buzz! While some fans are already speculating about a possible romance, others are hoping this charming blond bodyguard doesn’t end up as her next big headline.
Since J.Lo and Ben announced their breakup in August 2024, both stars have been going through some changes. J.Lo had LASIK eye surgery, and she’s thrilled to be “flying on her own.” Meanwhile, Ben has been experimenting with his hair, trying out new styles. It seems like both of them are ready for fresh starts!
A Striking New Bodyguard
But will this new buzz make Ben even more uneasy? Many tabloids are now talking about J.Lo’s latest addition to her security team. Just days ago, she was seen strolling through London, hand in hand with a striking young blond man who looked like he could be straight out of a Scandinavian dream.
The 55-year-old superstar was all smiles, dressed in stylish kitten-heel boots, a fashionable black hat, and carrying a small purse while holding onto her serious-looking bodyguard.
The Daily Mail couldn’t help but point out that the bodyguard resembles a young Alexander Skarsgård, the famous actor known for his tall, handsome looks. Each time this security guard is seen with J.Lo, he’s dressed sharply in a gray blazer with a silver lapel pin that says “PG.”
A source told DailyMail.com, “He is a new addition to her security team, but he is not the only one. She has several security guards around her whenever she goes out; they are just hard to see.”
Who Is That Well-Built Hunk?
This isn’t the first time this well-built hunk has caught people’s attention. He was also seen with J.Lo in New York City on November 3, accompanying her as she headed to a high-rise building. According to the Daily Mail, this new bodyguard wasn’t part of her team when she was married to Ben Affleck back in July 2022.
J.Lo has always been serious about her safety and security. For the past 25 years, she has relied on a team of bodyguards, often hiring Israeli security professionals and even female bodyguards. With elite bodyguards costing anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 per hour, it’s clear that she values her safety highly.
A Memorable Instance
But J.Lo’s security team hasn’t been without its fair share of drama and headlines. Back in 2004, one of her bodyguards, Nathan Butts, faced an investigation for robbery after allegedly taking a memory card from a partygoer’s camera at a South Beach nightclub, suspecting they had taken unauthorized photos of the singer.
The early 2000s were particularly colorful for her security detail. In 2001, one of her guards was fired for trying to smuggle marijuana and hashish across the U.S.-Canada border. The drugs were discovered by a canine unit that detected them hidden in the guard’s socks.
Despite the drama, J.Lo’s security team often draws attention from both paparazzi and the public. One unforgettable moment occurred in 1999 at the Cincinnati Art Museum. As J.Lo stepped out of her limo, she made quite the entrance draped in a luxurious fur coat and carrying her tiny poodle, who sported a diamond tiara!
Lopez had hoped to walk her dog and tour the museum, but since pets weren’t allowed inside, the pampered pooch had to stay outside under the watchful eye of her bodyguard. While J.Lo indulged in some shopping inside, the museum’s security team couldn’t resist the spectacle.
“All the male guards came to the front to look at Jennifer Lopez,” shared manager Debbie Molzberger with The Cincinnati Enquirer. “All of the women went outside to see her dog and talk with her bodyguard.”
The Internet Reacts
After Jennifer Lopez was recently spotted holding hands with her new, dashing bodyguard, the internet exploded with opinions. One particularly sharp comment making the rounds was, “She can’t live without a man. She needs to focus on her kids. Children always come first, not the other way around.”
Of course, with J.Lo’s well-documented love life, it’s hard not to wonder if this time will be any different. Between her eras with Ben Affleck, J.Lo has had quite the romantic history!
Before rekindling her romance with Ben, she was engaged to New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, but sadly, that engagement never led to wedding bells. And who could forget her brief fling with rapper Drake in 2016 that fizzled out quickly?
Then there was her on-again, off-again two-and-a-half-year “fun fling” with backup dancer Casper Smart, followed by a decade-long marriage to singer Marc Anthony.
Let’s not forget her whirlwind romance with Ben Affleck and her memorable two-year romance with Diddy. J.Lo even had a first marriage to actor Ojani Noa back in 1997! With so many twists and turns, her love life reads like a romantic comedy!
So, if history is any indication, some fans are already playfully suggesting, “Better get the hats ready, ladies—I feel a wedding invitation coming soon!”
Wishing J.Lo the Best
Jokes aside, we all hope that J.Lo is doing well and finds some peace and quiet after all the drama. With her undeniable talent and charisma, she deserves happiness and stability, whether she’s holding hands with a bodyguard or simply enjoying life with her family.
