Jennifer Lopez's divorce from Ben Affleck in August has once again thrust them into the public eye. While they navigate the slow-moving divorce process without getting involved in new serious relationships, they are engaging in a subtle "teasing" game through the tabloids. Lopez's recent association with a new bodyguard has added a new twist to the story.

Unraveling the Intrigue of Lopez and Affleck's Divorce

Inside Lopez's Flirtation with Her Bodyguard

Recently, Jennifer Lopez has been spotted in the company of a new bodyguard. This bodyguard provides her with security as she promotes projects for Amazon, including her upcoming Affleck-produced film "Unstoppable". It seems that Lopez has a dual motive. Firstly, she wants to make Affleck jealous. His short temper is well-known and this could complicate matters further during the divorce. Secondly, there is a genuine attraction to the bodyguard. He is tall, muscular, and conventionally attractive.An insider revealed, "Jen is not actively dating right now, but that doesn't mean she can't have fun. She's flirting where it's safe to flirt and, of course, she's attracted to this guy. Mostly, she knows that it will drive Ben crazy."

The Financial Aspect of the Divorce

In this divorce, Affleck ($150 million) has more to lose compared to Lopez ($400 million) due to the significant difference in their net worths. Lopez, who has been through divorce three times before, understands the value of being seen by photographers. Strutting around with another man while holding out hope of reinventing her public image amid the chaos of her fourth marriage is a strategy she is employing.As an insider added, "She didn't want this divorce, but Ben's always been the type to run from his problems. In her mind, a little flirting will redeem her image – after all, JLo is always the dumper, never the dumpee."
