Handsome new man in J-Lo’s life has many saying the same dodgy thing
J. Lo was seen holding hands with a handsome new member of her security crew just three months after her and Ben Affleck parted ways.
Fans are eagerly hoping that this blond protector won’t become the next big relationship headline for JLo, though some followers are already speculating about a romantic twist. Since announcing their separation in August 2024, both Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have embraced new post-relationship chapters.
While her ex has been experimenting with his hair follicles, JLo is embracing her newfound independence, excitedly sharing that she’s “flying on her own” after undergoing LASIK eye surgery.
Is Ben Affleck bracing for another shock? The latest rumors surrounding his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, have certainly raised some eyebrows. Her new, striking bodyguard is quickly becoming the talk of the tabloids.
While these rumors are purely speculative, they gained serious traction when JLo was spotted with a handsome, blond security guard just after her split from Ben. The 55-year-old diva was seen holding hands with the young man—who had distinct Scandinavian features—on a recent outing in London.
Despite her modest outfit, complete with kitten-heel shoes, a sleek black cap, and a small pocketbook, JLo was all smiles as she held on to the stoic-looking bodyguard while stepping out of a large black SUV. The Daily Mail was quick to point out the striking resemblance between the bodyguard and a young Alexander Skarsgård. The British tabloid also noted that the security guard is frequently seen sporting a gray blazer with a silver “PG” lapel pin when accompanying Lopez.
Although he’s the latest addition to Jennifer Lopez’s security team, he’s certainly not the only one. According to a source who spoke with DailyMail.com, every time JLo steps out, she’s accompanied by a number of security officers—though they tend to blend into the background. The question on everyone’s mind, however, is: Who is that attractive, muscular man by her side?
This eye-catching, well-built security guard has certainly turned heads before. He was spotted with Lopez in New York City on November 3, trailing behind her as she entered a tall building.
The Daily Mail reports that when Jennifer married Ben Affleck on July 16, 2022, this new bodyguard wasn’t part of her crew. Jennifer is known for being highly meticulous about her security, preferring to feel safe at all times. For the past 25 years, Lopez has consistently worked with a team of bodyguards, often hiring Israeli security experts and several female guards as well.
Her attention to detail extends to all aspects of her life, whether she’s going to the gym or attending high-profile events.
Of course, ensuring her safety doesn’t come cheap. An elite bodyguard can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 per hour, underscoring the premium Lopez places on her security. Despite the constant media scrutiny, JLo continues to exude poise and confidence, thanks to her carefully curated, top-tier security team.
Jennifer Lopez’s security team has often made headlines for reasons other than just keeping her safe. In fact, there have been a few eyebrow-raising incidents involving her guards over the years.
One of the more shocking stories dates back to 2004 when Nathan Butts, one of Lopez’s bodyguards, was under investigation for robbery. The allegation? He allegedly took a memory card from a partygoer’s camera at a South Beach nightclub, believing that the partygoers had snapped unapproved photos of the singer.
The early 2000s were particularly tumultuous for Lopez’s security, with another incident in 2001 involving a guard who was allegedly fired for trying to smuggle marijuana and hashish across the U.S.-Canada border. A canine team made the discovery after sniffing out the drugs hidden in the guard’s socks. Despite these controversies, Lopez’s security detail continues to attract attention, both from the public and the paparazzi.
One of the more memorable moments occurred in 1999 at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Lopez, wearing a luxurious fur coat and accompanied by her small poodle—who was adorned with a diamond tiara—made a grand entrance as she exited her limo. The pop icon had planned to take her dog on a tour of the museum, but since pets weren’t allowed inside, the pup had to stay outside with her bodyguard.
The security staff at the museum couldn’t resist taking notice of Lopez’s presence. Manager Debbie Molzberger recalled, “All the male guards came to the front to look at Jennifer Lopez.” Meanwhile, “every woman went outside to speak with her bodyguard and see her dog.” In response, Molzberger quipped, “Ladies, better get your hats ready.”
The internet certainly had a lot to say when Jennifer Lopez was recently seen holding hands with her attractive new bodyguard. One comment that quickly went viral read, “She can’t live without a man,” sparking some heated discussions online. Another pointed out, “She must put her children first. Children always come first, rather than the other way around.”
Given Lopez’s long history of high-profile relationships, it’s hard not to wonder if this time will be any different. After all, J. Lo’s romantic timeline is packed with familiar faces, especially in between the infamous Bennifer chapters.
Before rekindling her romance with Ben Affleck, Lopez was engaged to New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez, but that engagement ultimately didn’t lead to marriage. Her relationship with A-Rod was one of the many well-documented romances in her life, following a whirlwind romance with musician Drake, which ended shortly after their brief 2016 engagement.
Then there was the fun fling with backup dancer Casper Smart, which lasted for two and a half years, as well as a decade-long marriage to singer Marc Anthony. And of course, there’s the early chapter of her love story with Affleck, before they took their second shot at love.
Lopez’s love life could easily be the script for a rom-com, with twists and turns that include a passionate two-year affair with Sean “Diddy” Combs and her first marriage to actor Ojani Noa in 1997. Through it all, her journey in love remains one for the books.
As history often repeats itself, some have jokingly commented, “Ladies, better get your hats ready—I sense a wedding invitation is on the horizon!”
But all jokes aside, after all the attention surrounding her personal life, we can only hope that Jennifer Lopez finds some well-deserved peace and stability. Whether she’s holding hands with a bodyguard or simply spending quality time with her family, she absolutely deserves happiness. Her undeniable talent, charisma, and resilience continue to inspire, and it’s clear she’s earned the right to find tranquility in both her career and personal life.
