J.Lo Hires a Handsome Bodyguard and Doesn’t Hold Back on Flirting

The relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck has hit the rocks again. Recently, it was revealed that the actors are no longer together. It seems that nothing has changed in the past 20 years, or perhaps they’ve grown so different that being together simply became impossible.

During this time, Jennifer Lopez has hired a new bodyguard, who often accompanies her in public. The man, with his athletic build, protects the global superstar from paparazzi, helps her get out of cars, and even assists with her outerwear.

Sources report that this bodyguard joined her team a few months ago. “He’s new to her security detail but not the only one. Every time Lopez steps out of her home, she’s surrounded by several bodyguards, though they’re often hard to notice,” an insider shares. Interestingly, the man is said to bear a striking resemblance to Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård. Lopez frequently flirts with her security guard, showing no concern over the fact that he’s married. And this flirting is not without purpose.

“Jennifer isn’t actively dating right now, but that doesn’t mean she can’t have some fun. She flirts where it’s safe, and, of course, she’s attracted to this guy. But more than anything, she knows it’ll drive Ben Affleck crazy,” sources reveal.

Jennifer admits that the breakup with Ben was a real blow for her. She has already spoken about how she’s trying to learn to live without him. “I’m just realizing that I can find joy and happiness on my own. Relationships with men don’t define me. I can’t and won’t look for happiness in others—I need to find it within myself,” she confessed.
