Fresh off finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez is ready to leave heartbreak behind and has reportedly been asking her inner circle to draw up a list of Hollywoodโs most eligible bachelors. At the top of that list? None other than Magic Mike star Channing Tatum, a man she believes could be her true match.
โFor those who know them both, the chemistry between Jen and Channing seems like a no-brainer,โ a source close to the singer-actress said speaking to RadarOnline. โNot only would they make an absolutely stunning couple, but when you peel back the surface, they share so much in common. Itโs deeper than looksโtheyโre kindred spirits.โ
J.Lo’s Type: โSelf-Made, Ambitious, and Misunderstoodโ
Friends say Lopez sees Tatum as someone who mirrors her own drive and resilience. Both stars climbed their way to the top from humble beginnings: Lopez famously rose from her Bronx roots to become a global icon, while Tatumโs path included stints as a roofer and stripper in Alabama before his breakout Hollywood success.
โTheyโve both had to fight for every bit of success theyโve earned,โ the insider revealed. โJen is naturally drawn to people who are self-made, who know what itโs like to struggle and push through. Thatโs where Channing stands outโhe gets it. Heโs intelligent, creative, and massively ambitious, qualities Jen respects deeply.โ
The source added:
โChanning is often underestimated because of his background, and Jen understands that. She knows what it feels like to be written off or undervalued, and she admires the way Channing hasnโt let any of that hold him back.โ
โThey Could Be Soulmatesโ
Lopez reportedly feels that her and Tatumโs shared outlook on life and unrelenting work ethic could make them an ideal pairing. โJenโs told friends that Channing ticks every box,โ the insider continued. โShe believes they might even be soulmates. They have this rare connection thatโs hard to ignore.โ
Lopez, a romantic at heart, has never shied away from pursuing love, and at 55, sheโs still looking for her perfect match. Those close to her say Tatumโs blend of charisma, humility, and talent makes him the standout contender as she ventures back into the dating world.
Tatum, 44, hasnโt publicly commented on the speculation, but sources claim heโs flattered by the idea.
โWho wouldnโt be?โ the insider joked. โSheโs Jennifer Lopez, after all. Sheโs as incredible as ever and knows what she wants. It wouldnโt surprise anyone if sparks flew between them.โ
As J.Lo moves on from her marriage to Affleck, it seems sheโs focused on finding someone who understands her on a deeper levelโand if whispers in Hollywood are to be believed, Channing Tatum could be the man to fit the bill.
