Just a few months after parting ways with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, also known as J.Lo, has been spotted with an eye-catching new face in her security detail. Her fans are buzzing with speculation about the blond man’s role in her life, whispering about more than just a professional relationship.
Since J.Lo and Affleck announced their breakup back in August 2024, they’ve each embarked on personal journeys of transformation. While Jennifer has undergone laser eye surgery, Ben seems to be experimenting with his hair style.
A Dashing New Bodyguard
The question on everyone’s lips now is whether Ben Affleck will be disturbed by the latest gossip surrounding his former lady love. The media is abuzz with J.Lo’s latest addition to her security team.
Rumors are rife, but they gained real momentum when J.Lo was seen with this striking bodyguard soon after splitting from Affleck. During a London outing, the famous Bronx-born entertainer was photographed holding hands with a young, blond man who appeared to be of Scandinavian descent.
The 55-year-old superstar was radiant, wearing elegant yet understated kitten-heel boots, a chic black hat, and carrying a petite purse. As she stepped out from a large black SUV, she was all smiles, closely accompanied by her imposing protector.
Reports, including those from the Daily Mail, quickly drew comparisons between the bodyguard and a young Alexander Skarsgård. Each appearance with Lopez saw him dressed in a distinctive gray blazer, complete with a silver lapel pin reading “PG.”
“He’s a new face on her security team, albeit not the only one. J.Lo’s security is comprehensive, making it hard to spot all her guards,” a source shared.
The Mystery Man
This well-built individual is no stranger to catching people’s eyes. He was seen by J.Lo’s side in New York City on November 3, as they headed to a towering building. The striking bodyguard was not part of her security team during her marriage to Affleck in July 2022.
Jennifer Lopez has long been meticulous about her personal security. She appreciates feeling protected by her team, which typically includes Israeli security experts and female bodyguards. This commitment to safety is evident as no detail is spared—whether during a simple gym visit or glitzy event appearance.
With the provision of top-tier security costing between $1,000 to $1,500 per hour, Jennifer’s safety certainly doesn’t come cheap but she spares no expense.
Living in the public eye means constant scrutiny, yet J.Lo consistently exudes confidence and grace, supported by her elite security detail.
Noteworthy Security Moments
Of course, no famous entourage is without its controversies. Back in 2004, one of Lopez’s guards, Nathan Butts, found himself in hot water over the alleged theft of a memory card from a partygoer’s camera at a South Beach club. The misunderstanding stemmed from concerns about unauthorized photos of the star.
The early 2000s were notable for another hiccup when one of her security staff was reportedly fired in 2001 for trying to smuggle marijuana and hashish across the U.S.-Canada border, substances found hidden in his socks by a sniffer dog.
Despite such incidents, her security detail often captures attention, not just from paparazzi but also everyday onlookers.
A standout moment occurred in 1999 at the Cincinnati Art Museum.
Jennifer made an unforgettable entrance at the museum, emerging from her limo wrapped in a sumptuous fur coat with her tiny poodle, adorned with a diamond tiara, in tow. Hoping to tour the museum with her canine companion, she was informed that pets weren’t allowed inside, leaving her luxury-clad pet under her bodyguard’s watchful eye outside.
While Lopez enjoyed some retail therapy indoors, museum security couldn’t help but be drawn to the spectacle. “All the men flocked to the front to see Jennifer Lopez,” recounted manager Debbie Molzberger. “While the women took the opportunity to admire her dog and chat with her bodyguard.”
Speculation on Social Media
When photos recently emerged of J.Lo holding hands with her handsome new bodyguard, social media went into a frenzy. One notable comment that made the rounds was, “She needs a man to be complete. Shouldn’t her children come first, not another relationship?”
Given Lopez’s well-publicized romantic history, it’s tempting to wonder if things will be different this time. Before reuniting with Affleck, she was romantically linked to New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, showcasing a stunning engagement ring that never led to marriage. Let’s not forget her brief twirl with rapper Drake in 2016, which ended quickly.
Then there was her on-and-off relationship with backup dancer Casper Smart lasting two and a half years, followed by a decade-long marriage to singer Marc Anthony. Her first romance era with Affleck, her two-year journey with Diddy, and her first marriage to actor Ojani Noa in 1997 round out a romantic history with more plot twists than a Hollywood movie.
With this track record, playful speculation has already begun: “Better be ready for another wedding invites soon!” But all jest aside, everyone hopes J.Lo finds joy and serenity amid life’s whirlwinds. Her incredible talent and charisma deserve nothing less than happiness and tranquility, whether she’s by a bodyguard’s side or savoring family moments.
