Just three months after her breakup with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez was seen holding hands with a striking new member of her security team.

While some fans are already speculating about a possible romance, many are hoping that this new blond bodyguard won’t become the next headline in her relationship saga.

Since their split in August 2024, both J.Lo and Ben have been undergoing some noticeable changes. Jennifer Lopez had LASIK eye surgery and shared her excitement about “flying on her own,” while Affleck has been experimenting with his hair. But perhaps the most intriguing development has been Lopez’s latest security addition.

Fans and tabloids have been buzzing about the tall, blond bodyguard seen with the 55-year-old singer and actress during her visit to London. The pair was spotted holding hands while she stepped out of an SUV, looking stylish in kitten-heel boots, a black hat, and a small purse. The tabloids quickly noted that the bodyguard resembled a younger version of Alexander Skarsgård. Not only did he accompany Lopez on the outing, but he was also seen with her earlier in New York City.

According to sources close to Lopez, this well-built bodyguard is a new addition to her security team. “She has several bodyguards around her whenever she goes out, but this one is particularly noticeable,” a source told the Daily Mail. It’s worth noting that this new guard wasn’t part of Lopez’s team when she was married to Ben Affleck in 2022.

Lopez has always been known for her dedication to security. For the past 25 years, she has maintained a robust security team, often employing Israeli security experts and even female bodyguards. Her security detail is known for being particularly visible, whether she’s heading to the gym or making public appearances. With top-tier bodyguards often costing between $1,000 and $1,500 per hour, it’s clear that her safety is a priority.

While Lopez is constantly in the spotlight, her security team has been involved in a few controversies over the years. For example, 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. Earlier in the 2000s, another of her guards was fired after being caught trying to smuggle drugs across the U.S.-Canada border, which led to an investigation by a canine unit.

Lopez’s security detail has also been the center of attention in lighter moments. In 1999, when Lopez visited the Cincinnati Art Museum, she made quite an entrance with her dog in tow, dressed in a fur coat. Her dog was left outside under the watch of her bodyguard while she shopped inside, and museum staff couldn’t help but notice the spectacle. “All the male guards came to the front to look at Jennifer Lopez,” said museum manager Debbie Molzberger. “All the women went outside to see her dog and talk with her bodyguard.”

After the recent sighting of Jennifer Lopez holding hands with her new, handsome bodyguard, social media and tabloids have been buzzing with opinions. One comment, in particular, caught attention: “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 Lopez’s storied romantic history, it’s easy to wonder if there’s another twist in her love life waiting to unfold.

Over the years, Jennifer Lopez’s relationships have been highly publicized. Before rekindling her romance with Ben Affleck, she was engaged to New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, but the relationship ended without a wedding. She’s also had a brief romance with rapper Drake in 2016 and an on-and-off relationship with backup dancer Casper Smart. Her marriage to Marc Anthony lasted a decade, and she was famously involved with Sean “Diddy” Combs and actor Ojani Noa. With so many high-profile relationships, it’s no surprise that fans are already speculating about what could be next for J.Lo.

The speculation around her new bodyguard has sparked a mix of curiosity and humor, with some fans joking, “Better get the hats ready, ladies—another wedding invitation might be on the way soon!” Whether it’s a romance or simply another chapter in her ever-evolving personal life, Jennifer Lopez’s fans are always ready for the next headline.
