Just three months after her split from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, also known as J.Lo, was spotted holding hands with a charming new member of her security team. This caught everyone’s attention! While some fans are already buzzing about a possible romance, others are hoping that this handsome blond bodyguard doesn’t become the next headline in her love life.
Since J.Lo and Ben announced their breakup in August 2024, both stars have been going through some big changes. J.Lo recently 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 to embrace their new chapters!
A Striking New Bodyguard
But will Ben be even more rattled by the latest buzz surrounding his ex-wife? Many tabloids are talking about J.Lo’s newest addition to her security team.
Rumors started swirling when the Bronx diva was seen with a striking new bodyguard shortly after her split from Ben. On a recent trip to London, J.Lo was spotted holding hands with a young, blond man who looked like he could be straight out of a Scandinavian dream!
The 55-year-old superstar was all smiles as she held onto her serious-looking bodyguard while stepping out of a sleek black SUV. She looked stylish in modest kitten-heel boots, a fashionable black hat, and a small purse.
The Daily Mail couldn’t help but point out how much this bodyguard resembled a young Alexander Skarsgård, the famous actor known for his tall, handsome looks.
Every time this bodyguard is seen with Lopez, he’s dressed sharply in a gray blazer with a silver lapel pin that says “PG.” A source told the Daily Mail, “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.” It sounds like J.Lo is taking her safety very seriously!
Who Is This 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 to a high-rise building. According to the Daily Mail, this bodyguard wasn’t part of her team when she was married to Ben Affleck back in July 2022.
J.Lo is known for her meticulous attention to security. She loves feeling protected! For the past 25 years, she has consistently relied on a team of bodyguards, often hiring Israeli security professionals and even female bodyguards.
Her security detail is known for being present during all her activities, whether she’s heading to the gym or making appearances at glamorous events. With elite bodyguards costing between $1,000 to $1,500 per hour, it’s clear that her safety is a top priority!
A Memorable Instance
But J.Lo’s security entourage 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. He thought the person had taken unauthorized photos of the singer!
The early 2000s were particularly colorful for her security team. In 2001, one of her guards was reportedly 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. Talk about a wild ride!
Despite the drama, J.Lo’s security team often attracts attention from both paparazzi and the public. One unforgettable moment occurred in 1999 at the Cincinnati Art Museum. As Jennifer Lopez stepped out of her limo, she made a grand 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 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 smirk and 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.
