Jennifer Lopez’s ‘New’ Bodyguard Is Making Waves After Hand-Holding Photo

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August 2024, and fans are eager to see what happens next in her personal life. While Lopez claimed that she wanted to abstain from any serious romances in the near future, a photo of her bodyguard holding her hand while she exited a vehicle went viral. So, what’s going on with Lopez and her security team? Here’s what we know.

Jennifer Lopez has a ‘new’ bodyguard who’s making waves

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck ending their marriage devastated Bennifer fans. Lopez and Affleck first fell in love in the early 2000s and went their separate ways in 2004. Nearly 20 years later, they rekindled their flame and tied the knot in 2022. This marked Affleck’s second marriage and Lopez’s fourth. Unfortunately, the couple couldn’t make their marriage work. Lopez pulled the trigger in August 2024 and served Affleck with divorce papers.

All eyes are on Lopez as she navigates life as a single woman. She’s said in the past that she’s addicted to love, and she has four marriages and six engagements in her wake to prove it. In November 2024, she made waves when a photo of her holding her “new” bodyguard’s hand went viral.

The photo shows Lopez stepping out of a Black SUV while holding onto the bodyguard. She’s wearing small black heels, a white coat, and a black hat. She’s holding a small black purse in her free hand. Lopez is seen smiling as she steps, with the significantly younger bodyguard watching her and giving her ample support. The bodyguard is seen wearing a gray blazer with a silver pin on his lapel reading “PG.”

“He is a new addition to her security team, but he is not the only one,” a source told DailyMail.com. “She has several security guards around her whenever she goes out, they are just hard to see. “He has been with Lopez for a year now, and he supports her when she has Amazon projects.”

While fans hoped that Lopez and the mystery bodyguard might have a love connection, such is not the case. Lopez has security around her at all times. The publication also noted the newly-popular bodyguard is married.

Jennifer Lopez allegedly wants ‘no-strings-attached fun with hot young guys’

Jennifer Lopez and the bodyguard raised fans’ eyebrows because of a report alleging how Lopez wanted to have “fun” with “hot young guys” following her divorce from Ben Affleck.

“She’s already given the go-ahead for these hunks to be auditioned and served up for her,” a source told In Touch Weekly, according to Yahoo. “She was very respectful and totally loyal to Ben even after he walked out on her, but now all bets are off. She’s desperate to forget about Ben and get over the anguish he’s put her through, and the best way she can do that is by having some no-strings-attached fun with hot young guys.”

The insider added that Lopez surrounding herself with younger men is “great medicine because they will fawn all over her and make her feel young and sexy and desirable again.”
