In clips circulating from recent appearances, the bodyguard—who’s yet to be identified—is seen dropping a playful grin and locking in, walking Blue to her vehicle, and subtly adjusting his position with every shift in the crowd, all while scanning the space with the same calm, stoic energy that once had fans locked in on Julius. The result has been a wave of reposts, slowed-down edits, and appreciation posts, as fans marvel at his unshakable presence.

Single Sketches

Etched Encounters

Elise: “It was our first date and I knew we were in trouble when he looked across the table and asked if I had children.  When I said I had two, he closed his eyes and said he didn’t date women with children.  I hate it when a guy asks if I have children as if he’s asking about my medical history. I know several women who don’t mention their kids until after the “magic dust” has settled. I got up and left him in the restaurant.”  MORE

The Dating Chronicles

Confused

Bill was on his phone as usual bragging about Toni to his friend Brad.  He and Toni had been dating for five months and though he really liked her, and was proud to be with her, he considered her high maintenance. She was beautiful, yet distrustful, suspicious, and too demanding of his affections.  She insisted they hold hands in public, kiss in elevators, and talk every night before they went to bed.    MORE

The Things We Do…

Carli: “In college, I dated and fell under the spell of the most popular guy on campus.  He had big brown eyes that pierced my soul every time he looked at me.  My dorm room was filled with wedding books with glorious gowns that I saw myself wearing, as I anticipated being chosen as his bride.  However, on his graduation night, he informed me after I caught him in the arms of another woman, that he had secretly gotten married the weekend before, MORE

Q. I I recently discovered that my live-in boyfriend of five years slept with my visiting cousin at my home while I was at work. I’m more upset with my cousin than I am with my boyfriend because I believe she seduced him. I put her out and allowed him to stay because he begged my forgiveness. I feel she was in control of the situation and she violated me because we’re family. My family, including my parents, are very angry with me because of what I did. Do you think I was wrong? MORE

How I Transformed

From Dull To Dazzle

by Nikki Hale

I remember it well.  The night my life changed.  I was on a blind date with a guy my sister had arranged.  When I stepped out my car and saw him, I was thrilled and intimidated at the same time.  He was a star and instantly I felt out of my league. Though he was polite throughout dinner, which he tried to sprinkle with a few jokes, it was clear he was not pleased with my appearance    MORE

Flashbacks

Compiled by Cheryl Lakes

Charise: “When I was married, I was afraid to leave my husband because I didn’t want anyone else to have him, though he treated me like trash in private and in public.  He slept with my best friend’s sister and bragged about it to me, in front of my family. I stayed with him because he took care of me financially. I finally left him when I came home and caught a naked woman under my bed.”  MORE
