Jennifer Lopez is once again capturing media attention, this time with rumors surrounding her relationship with her bodyguard during recent outings in the UK. Although Lopez has publicly claimed that she is “not looking for anybody” after her divorce from Ben Affleck, insiders suggest there may be more to the story. A source told Radar Online that while Lopez is not actively dating, she is enjoying some harmless flirting and is aware that it might drive Affleck “crazy.”
Lopez and Affleck, who tied the knot in 2022 after rekindling their romance, hit a rough patch and ultimately separated, with Lopez filing for divorce in August. Despite this, sources suggest Lopez did not want the marriage to end but found Affleck to be someone who tends to “run from his problems.” In the aftermath of the divorce, Lopez has been navigating a challenging emotional period. She described her new single life as “lonely, unfamiliar, scary, sad, and desperate,” but also emphasized that she is learning to embrace her independence, saying, “I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself.”
Her past relationships, including her marriages to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony (with whom she shares two children), and Ben Affleck, have made her love life a subject of public intrigue. According to another insider, Lopez has made it clear that any potential suitor would need to treat her “like a queen” and handle her “suitcase full of drama.” The source also noted that despite Lopez claiming to need time away from men, she is aware that many men now shy away from dating her, and that she may be using her public persona to shape the narrative and position herself as the victim, although this perspective is becoming harder for people to accept.
Lopez’s complex relationship history and ongoing personal journey continue to keep the public intrigued, with her balancing self-reflection and playful flirtations in the aftermath of her divorce.
