There's a good explanation for the 'creepy' man in J.Lo's mirror selfie

Fans of Jennifer Lopez noticed something strange about a picture she posted to Instagram last week, when they pointed out a “creepy” man who appeared to be staring through her window and wearing a mask.

Days later we're yet to have any official word from J.Lo herself on who he is, though a source has alleged that the man isn’t really there.

Lopez’s initial photo was of the star showing off her camouflage print athletic gear in the home gym of her Miami mansion, where she is self-isolating with her fiance Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez and their children. Miami currently has a strict stay at home order in place.

Fans spotted what appeared to be a man in a mask peering through the window, leading many to speculate who he was and some even joking that the star was holding him hostage.

An ‘insider’ has since claimed there’s a very reasonable explanation for it all, saying the curtains behind Lopez lead into a home office.

They said, “If you look closely you can see Alex's arm in a navy blue shirt.”

“He's sitting in front of their desk with the big screen on it, so the image of the person you're seeing is who is on his Zoom call,” they continued.

They added that the man on the screen isn’t actually wearing a mask, but claimed he simply has his hand over his mouth.

The source did not reveal who the man was.

Lopez’s fans piled into the comments after she posted her picture last week, many of them praising her athleisure gear while others demanded, “Who’s that guy tied up in the back?”

Others began to claim Lopez was “deleting comments about the dude” as others made reference to the unfounded conspiracy theory ‘pizzagate’, sharing pizza emojis in the comments.

Lopez and Rodriguez have both shared insights into their life on social media, with the family holding baseball summer camps for the kids on their lawn led by Rodriguez (a former professional baseball player).

As they have shared pictures and videos of their life at home, fans have joking compared their home to the house from Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite.
