Jennifer Lopez & Casper Smart are still not engaged, isn’t that weird?

Here are some photos of Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart in Puerto Rico just before Christmas. In the football pics, Casper and J.Lo are fooling around at the “Pre-Concert Celebrity Football Game Benefiting Hurricane Sandy Relief” in San Juan. In the glamour shots, Casper and J.Lo are just headed out for dinner. I know it’s weird, but I kind of like the football pics – Casper looks like he’s doting on Jennifer’s kids, and they just seem like… a normal couple. And good God, Max is really starting to look like his dad, right?

I just liked these pics and wanted to talk about them because it feels like it’s been a few weeks since we’ve discussed the Casper-J.Lo situation, and even though it feels like the situation could end at any moment, month after month, they seem pretty solid. Is that weird? Did J.Lo manage to find a solid relationship with a boyfriend and they’re not doing the engagement-marriage-divorce cycle? Weird. Jennifer and Casper have been together for MORE THAN A YEAR. More than a year without a diamond ring, more than a year without a surprise elopement, more than a year without a pregnancy. How is this happening? Did Jennifer’s M.O. actually change after Marc Anthony? Maybe.

Also – Jennifer just lost one part of a legal battle against her ex-driver. I really don’t even remember hearing about this stuff before, but if you’d like to read about it, go here.

    More reassuring than weird, I guess.

    • Boxy Lady says:

      Yeah, no kidding. Especially since she and Marc Anthony are still married, if I’m not mistaken. I haven’t heard that the divorce was finalized yet.

  2. Eleonor says:

    I don’t know, probably she has become more wise with two kids.

  3. lisa2 says:

    I could happen. Time will tell.

    I just saw that Kate Winslet married her Rockn’roll guy.. Now that is weird.. so is her name now; Kate Winslet Rockn’roll

    LOL 🙂

    The white shorts with the bulging front flap are not flattering at all.

    • Blue says:

      I agree and that all white outfit going out to dinner, just a disaster waiting to happen.

      • Polk8dot says:

        In that first ‘glamour’ picture she looks totally like – dare I say it – LaToya Jackson… Ughhhhh!!!
        She really needs to take it easy on the fillers/plastic surgery. Once you’ve entered the twilight zone of LaToya facial visage, there is only down hill to go from there.
        Plus whatever she had done recently made her face look really rough, like she suddenly aged 10 years. The visible age difference with her ‘K-Fed’ is grating now.
        The kids are adorable, and – surprisingly – he does seem to have a good rapport with them. Who knew?

  5. Riana says:

    It’s funny but I’m really starting to enjoy her ‘not giving an f attitude’ other women would have apologized or felt the need to endlessly explain. She just loves who she loves and f the rest.

    I think she’s always made unusual choices and it’s never been about the ring so much as the commitment, and dude seems pretty committed to her and her kids. I hope it works out for them.

    • Erinn says:

      Well hopefully he’s not just committed to her wallet. Though I’m still not sure he is actually interested in women. But who knows. I guess if they’re happy, that’s all that matters.

    J. Lo has had many relationships that failed. She is definately being a lot more cautious. She got the frying pan the handle. Take a lesson Demi Moore.

    • Lulu says:

      I remember when being cautious meant your kids didn’t meet your boyfriend on the first date. When will women wise up to the fact that dating around is damaging to children? Becoming attached (which children quickly do) to a man only to have him disappear and another one take his place. I’ve seen girlfriends put their kids through it it time and again. My daughter never met anyone I dated until I became engaged. I’ve always been glad she was spared at least that part of divorce.

      • elceibeno08 says:

        I wish more women followed that common sense rule that you described. My best friend’s mom widowed and she raised her 4 kids by herself (2 boys 2 girls) She chose not to give a stepfather to her children. They love her for it now.

      • Smaug says:

        @Lulu: Waiting till engaged??!!! Isn’t that too late??? Wouldn’t you want to figure out the dynamics of the child with your beau before making a commitment to marriage? Not being snarky, just wondering.

  7. kimcheee says:

    He’s so young. Today’s barely legal men use their good looks and sex appeal the same way pretty girls used to back in the 80’s. They date men and/or women whom are wealthy and powerful. (Look at Calvin Klein’s playmates!) The entire dynamic is a bit sickening to me since I was a pretty girl who chose to reject the rich manipulative psychopaths whom drove Mercedes and Jags. I’m sure Casper will be just fine…I wonder what kind of psychology J.Lo is running to be satisfied with such a young man. He’s attractive – but probably not super-interesting or deep…moldable for her fantasies….enjoy it Jen. He’ll grow up one day. He’ll spread his wings and fly away. (unless your lawyers write a rock-solid pre-nup…lol)

  8. Aubra says:

    That’s right! She’s still married! LMAO I was reminded of that when Bradley Cooper was on Howard Stern last month and Howard asked him had he ever f*cked a married woman, and Bradley tried to avoid the question and then basically gave a long winded statement that pretty much said “yes”…he was definitely talking about her! LMAO

    • Victoria1 says:

      Oh yeah they dated… I want to know why that ended??

      • Aubra says:

        …if by “Dated” you mean provided short term “maintenance”…then yeah! lol I think that was just a thing where opportunity presented itself for him and she was willing to spend some time with him and indulge in a fling…

    • Marty says:

      Wait, what? I didn’t know about this! Was it right after she filed for divorce?

      • Aubra says:

        Marty, it’s “messy” because it was around September/October of last year. But they were only out twice, the first time no pics, then the second time, there were “morning after” pictures of them leaving his place and her covering her face while in the passenger seat. Which also led people to beleive he was overlapping with his current linked partner who ended her longterm engagement around the same time and he had yet to hook up with her “officially”…just google “Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lopez”, and you’re sure to find lots of good stuff! LMAO

  9. Maritza says:

    She is the boss in that relationship and that’s the way she likes it. The relationship will last as long as Casper is faithful to her and does what ever she wants.

  10. mln76 says:

    This is progress for her. I think the marriage with Marc Antony which was respectably long term changed her a bit. I also think she is thinking of her kids. Oh and her team has been vocal that they do not want to her to marry this guy. I think this is the one and only thing she could call up Kate Winslet and give her some advice on.

  11. lucy2 says:

    Maybe she finally wised up and got tired of giving away so much money to divorce lawyers.

  12. Jennifer12 says:

    Benny. Medina. He is really putting his foot down with her and waving her career flag.

  13. hannah says:

    There is still New Year’s Eve as an opportunity to get engaged…

  14. Eric says:

    Because he is sleeping with the makeup artist

  15. nikzilla37 says:

    I still feel like Casper is a rebound for her. Hopefully it’s true and she’s not as dumb as we think she is.

    • Aubra says:

      More of a “comforting safe haven” I think. Bradley Cooper was a rebound. She has Casper around her children on vacation with them and basically playing with them and bonding, that’s more than a rebound I think, at least by Hollywood standards!

  16. KellyinSeattle says:

    I don’t think it’s weird that they’re not engaged…hopefully he won’t just be a filler for her, and get the kids too attached to him.

  17. erika says:

    he’s so goofy looking…..ehhhh. goofy. what’s gonna happen to jLo, demi, madonna…when they all hit like, 82? not saying that is OLD (41 yr here has to watch her wording…)

    but really, as time passes how much longer can you play this out? Madge is the oldest of them all, I think. So, Madge, when you are kicking it at 82, cause i know you will (she’ll have her 73rd album out, dancing in dom..)do you think casper/another young guy is still gonna be around?

    it’s wierd i just look at the street smarts and life intelligence someone has built up (thats a turn on for me, someone who’s been around the block so to say) but y ou can’t be too smart at..24, not in the worldly aspect.

    whatev. who said JLo was smart wo maybe there’s not missing out on anything together.

  18. HoneyWest says:

    Well I don’t think she’s gonna marry him to be truthfully honest, he’s too young for her. Her team has been very vocal about her not to marry him, he’s not marriage material. I don’t care how bonded he is with the kids or how great they’re getting along. Her divorce isn’t even finalized yet. He sayin’ he wants to pull his own weight, well when is that gonna happen? Time is of the essence, she’ll be too old then and he’s only 25, how long are we talking? He’s so goofy looking ugh! I hope this is just a rebound. Obviously he hasn’t got the money to buy her an engagement ring, it’s expensive. If by any doubt he might meet a 20 yr. old fine looking babe in Hollywood some where and hook up with her/him whatever!
