Jennifer Lopez, freshly divorced from Ben Affleck, has reportedly asked her friends for a list of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors as she looks to heal her heart and move on. Channing Tatum is said to be at the top of the list, according to sources.
Lopez, now 55, is ready to date again and has been exploring new possibilities. She has always had a romantic side, and Tatum, 44, seems like a natural match for her. Both have self-made backgrounds, having worked hard to get to where they are today. Tatum, known for his roles in Magic Mike and his previous work as a stripper, shares a similar journey to Lopez, who also came from humble beginnings. They both understand the struggles of being underestimated in Hollywood, which could create a strong connection between them.
Their shared experience in dancing adds another layer of similarity. Lopez has always been drawn to dancers, having married one in her second marriage, and dated a former backing dancer after her third marriage. Tatum, who is a devoted father to his daughter Everly, also shares Lopez’s deep commitment to parenting. Lopez, who has twin teens Max and Emme from her marriage to Marc Anthony, values this trait in a partner.
Tatum’s charm and shared values about family have reportedly caught Lopez’s eye. Despite an age difference of 11 years, she is said to be interested in him as one of the top bachelors in Hollywood right now. After her split from Affleck, Lopez seems to be finding comfort in the idea of starting fresh with someone like Tatum, who also has experience with heartbreak, having previously been married to Jenna Dewan and dating Jessie J.
