Just a few months have passed since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck decided to go their separate ways, but it seems J.Lo is rarely alone. Recently, she was glimpsed hand in hand with a charming addition to her security entourage.
The sighting has set tongues wagging, with some fans speculating about a potential romance. Still, many are hoping this charming protector won’t turn into J.Lo’s next big romance news.
It’s no secret that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have undergone some changes since their August 2024 split. J.Lo treated herself to LASIK eye surgery and is feeling fresh and independent, while Ben has been experimenting with his hairline.
Introducing the New Bodyguard
The real question buzzing around now is: will Ben Affleck feel unnerved by the latest talk about his ex? Many tabloids are focusing on J.Lo’s newly appointed security team member.
While the romance rumors might be a bit premature, they took off for sure when Jennifer was recently spotted alongside a striking new bodyguard soon after her split from Ben. On a visit to London, the beloved Bronx celebrity was seen with a young, blond man resembling someone with Scandinavian roots.
The 55-year-old star was radiating joy as she confidently held onto her imposing guard while exiting a large black vehicle. Her ensemble that day included kitten-heel boots, a chic hat, and a small purse, all adding to her elegance.
British publications couldn’t miss drawing comparisons to a young Alexander Skarsgård when describing the handsome protector. The bodyguard was consistently seen sporting a gray blazer with a distinguished silver lapel pin reading “PG.”
“He’s recently joined her security team, though he’s not the only one. Jennifer always has several bodyguards with her during outings, but they tend to keep a low profile,” a source informed DailyMail.com.
Spotting the Well-Built Escort
This isn’t the first instance where this well-built presence has drawn attention. In early November, eyewitnesses spotted this security addition escorting Jenny From The Block in New York City as she entered a towering building. It’s worth noting that back during her marriage to Ben Affleck, this particular bodyguard wasn’t part of her squad.
J.Lo is exceptionally particular about her security – her desire to feel protected is paramount. Over the last quarter-century, she has consistently had a solid team of bodyguards. Her security choices often include seasoned Israeli professionals and numerous skilled female guards.
Her security team ensures a vigilant presence during any outing – be it gym sessions or grand events. Hiring elite bodyguards does come with its expenses, anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 per hour, reflecting the level of caution J.Lo embraces.
Even though she remains ever under the spotlight, the Bronx-born singer continues to grace the world with her poise and self-assurance, with robust security backing her every move.
An Unforgettable Moment
Jennifer Lopez’s dedicated security entourage has had its share of intriguing tales. Rewind to 2004 when bodyguard Nathan Butts faced a robbery accusation. He reportedly confiscated a memory card from a reveler at a South Beach club who he believed took unauthorized pictures of Jennifer.
The early 2000s were exciting for Lopez’s guards – one was let go in 2001 for attempting to smuggle drugs. Authorities uncovered marijuana and hashish stowed in their socks when crossing the U.S.-Canada border, all thanks to a vigilant canine unit.
Despite these colorful events, Lopez’s security endeavors still grab onlookers’ curiosity.
One such memorable moment happened back in 1999 at Ohio’s Cincinnati Art Museum.
In a grand entrance at the museum, Jennifer Lopez stepped out, draped in luxurious fur and bringing her petite poodle, which flaunted a diamond tiara. Sadly for the pup, the museum’s rules didn’t permit its entry, so it lounged outside under her bodyguard’s supervision.
As Lopez took the opportunity to indulge inside, the museum’s personnel couldn’t resist taking a closer look at the spectacle. “All the male guides wanted to see Jennifer Lopez,” revealed manager Debbie Molzberger to The Cincinnati Enquirer. “The female guides, on the other hand, found themselves attracted to her little dog and her protective bodyguard.”
“Get Those Hats Ready, Ladies!”
J.Lo’s latest hand-holding episode with her dapper bodyguard hasn’t gone unnoticed. One astute online comment humorously noted, “She can’t be without a man. Her focus should be on her children. Kids come first, not the other way around.”
In fact, with Jennifer Lopez’s well-documented romantic history, it’s tough for fans to resist a smirk at the thought – could it be any different this time? After all, throughout her alternating connections with Ben Affleck, she filled her timeline with a string of notable romances.
Before rekindling with Affleck, Lopez was famously involved with New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez. Their engagement, complete with a dazzling ring, never culminated in marriage. Then there’s the short-lived fling with rapper Drake in 2016 that evaporated in less than a year.
Add in her on-off two-and-a-half-year rendezvous with dancer Casper Smart, a decade-long union with singer Marc Anthony, and her initial whirlwind romance with Affleck. Oh, and let’s not overlook the two-year endeavor with Diddy and her first matrimonial union with Ojani Noa that took place in 1997. For J.Lo, romantic narratives have often resembled a captivating rom-com.
Given her romantic track record, some playfully suggest, “Ladies, better get those hats ready – a wedding invite might be in the offing!”
All jesting aside, we genuinely wish J.Lo finds happiness and tranquility amidst the current chaos. With her undeniable talent and irresistible charm, she deserves joy, whether she’s with her bodyguard or enjoying precious time with her children.”
