Could Jennifer Lopez dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy and have already moved on from longtime boyfriend Casper Smart? A new report claims that JLo is dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy of 'Dancing With The Stars' fame!
Jennifer Lopez, 44, and Casper Smart, 27, have been broken up for two months now, according to sources at HollywoodLife.com; however, JLo has not been resting on her laurels - and why should she? She is now dating Dancing With The Stars' Maksim Chmerkovskiy, according to a new report!
JLo and Maks are dating, according to MediaTakeOut, and "the two plan on making the 'official' announcement any day now."
Jennifer and Casper have been broken up for two months, and reports of his alleged cheating are highly exaggerated - "anything he did online was as a single guy," and the two "remain friends."
JLo Met Maks During The American Music Awards In Nov. 2013. Their first big public meeting was at the American Music Awards in Nov. 2013, where the two were onstage for a sizzling tribute to Cuban salsa performer, Celia Cruz.
On that note, can we assume that Maks and Meryl Davis are officially over? The two were pretty close during - and after - their DWTS tenure, and even Val Chmerkovskiy, Maks' brother, said that Maks loves Meryl more than any other woman! Are they on the outs?
Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart have split after two and a half years of dating, a source close to Lopez confirms to Us Weekly.
"It has actually been an amicable process that started a few months ago," the J.Lo insider said. "It wasn't an easy decision, but they decided to stay friends...Their relationship couldn't work with the distance. He started trying to establish his own life and career, and she is so focused on hers, and they just couldn't be all about each other anymore."
The source added that Lopez is "doing fine." It helps, the insider says, that "she's so focused on promoting the album. They are both in a good place now."
Lopez, 44, and Smart, 27, were first linked as a couple back in November 2011, just four months after the American Idol judge split from her third ex-husband, Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Max and Emme, 6. Since then, Smart has been a fixture at the star's side, accompanying her to tapings and red carpets all over the world, and on family vacations with her kids.
Speaking about their relationship in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in January 2013, Lopez gushed that her much younger beau was her best friend. "I can tell him everything, when I'm feeling down, when I'm feeling good," she shared. "He gives moral support, endless love and support."
However, the duo faced rumors that Smart had cheated on Lopez with a transgender model he reportedly met online. Gossip site The Dirty claimed to have evidence that he had been exchanging photos and messages with the model via Instagram. There were rumors about a second transgender model, too. A source close to the couple told Us Weekly, however, that the story was "100 percent not true."
