Just three months after her split from Ben Affleck, the fabulous Jennifer Lopez, or J.Lo as we all know her, was spotted holding hands with a striking new member of her security team. This has stirred up quite a buzz among fans and the media alike!
A New Chapter for J.Lo
Since Jennifer and Ben announced their breakup in August 2024, both stars have been making some exciting changes in their lives. J.Lo recently had LASIK eye surgery and expressed her excitement, saying she’s “flying on her own” now!
Meanwhile, Ben has been experimenting with his hair, trying out different styles. It seems like both of them are ready for fresh starts!
Who’s That Handsome Bodyguard?
But the big question on everyone’s mind is: how does Ben feel about this new buzz surrounding his ex-wife? Many tabloids are talking about J.Lo’s latest addition to her security team. During a recent trip to London, she was seen holding hands with a young, blond man who looked like he could be a model from Scandinavia.
The 55-year-old superstar was all smiles, stepping out of a sleek black SUV in her stylish kitten-heel boots, a fashionable black hat, and a chic little purse, while holding onto her serious-looking bodyguard.
The Daily Mail couldn’t help but point out how this bodyguard resembles a younger version of actor Alexander Skarsgård. They noted, “Each time the security guard is spotted with Lopez, he’s dressed in a gray blazer adorned with a silver lapel pin marked ‘PG.’”
A source even revealed, “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.”
A Well-Built Protector
This isn’t the first time this handsome hunk has caught the public’s eye. He was also seen with J.Lo in New York City on November 3, accompanying her as she headed to a tall building. According to reports, this new bodyguard wasn’t part of her team when she was married to Ben Affleck back in July 2022.
Jennifer Lopez takes her security very seriously. For the past 25 years, she has relied on a team of bodyguards, often hiring Israeli security professionals and even female bodyguards.
Her security detail is always on point, whether she’s heading to the gym or making a grand appearance at a high-profile event. With elite bodyguards costing anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 per hour, it’s clear that J.Lo prioritizes her safety!
A Colorful Security History
But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for J.Lo’s security team. Her entourage has had its fair share of controversies and wild headlines.
Back in 2004, one of her bodyguards, Nathan Butts, was investigated for robbery after allegedly taking a memory card from a partygoer’s camera at a South Beach nightclub, thinking they had snapped 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. Talk about a dramatic job!
A Memorable Moment
Despite the drama, J.Lo’s security detail has often drawn attention from the public. One unforgettable moment occurred in 1999 at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
As Jennifer stepped out of her limo, she made a grand entrance draped in a luxurious fur coat and carrying her tiny poodle, who was wearing a diamond tiara! J.Lo had hoped to walk her dog inside the museum, but since pets weren’t allowed, her pampered pooch had to stay outside under the watchful eye of her bodyguard.
While J.Lo enjoyed 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.” It was a moment that perfectly captured the star’s magnetic presence!
Internet Buzz and Speculation
After Jennifer was seen 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, when it comes to J.Lo’s well-known love life, it’s hard not to wonder if this time will be any different. Between her eras with Ben Affleck, J.Lo has certainly had a rollercoaster of romantic interests!
Before rekindling her romance with Ben, she had a high-profile relationship with New York Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez, which included a dazzling engagement ring that sadly 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 her first marriage to actor Ojani Noa back in 1997! With so many ups and downs, her love life reads like a romantic comedy!
Wedding Bells on the Horizon?
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!” It’s all in good fun, but it highlights the curiosity surrounding J.Lo’s love life.
Jokes aside, we truly 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.
