I hope, hope, HOPE this is true. Us Weekly reports this morning that Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart are over. Dunzo. Finished! It was getting really bad. Over the past few weeks, The Dirty has been publishing alleged text messages/sexts between Casper and two trans models. This following the consistent rumors that Casper is maybe on the downlow, or that he’s been cheating on Jennifer this whole time with various people. Basically, the whole Casper thing has been awful for Jennifer’s image. Usually that’s when she doubles-down though. Maybe she’s breaking the cycle?
Looks like Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart’s “luh” story is over. The “I Luh Ya Papi” singer and her backup dancer-turned-choreographer beau 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 says. “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 adds 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.”
In recent weeks, 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.”
“The scandal had nothing to do with it,” the first insider tells Us. “He insists none of that is true and she believes him.”
If they’ve been in the process of breaking up for months, then why were they all loved up at the AMAs? Why all the hand-wringing and drama and why did a “source” (J.Lo’s manager, it sounded like) leak to People that they were still together “for now” just a few days ago? Anyway, I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I’ve just got my fingers crossed that this is true.
Update: TMZ & People are reporting this now as well, so it’s totally true. A source told TMZ: “Casper has been a single guy and can text or see whoever he wants, but the idea that he was knowingly texting a transsexual is laughable. He’s not that guy, but like a lot of single guys online he obviously likes to look at a ‘lil T and A.” Um… what?! The thing about that quote is that it’s bad enough to think that it came from Casper, but what if it came from J.Lo? Gurl, get your shiz together.
So, who should Jennifer date next? Please let it be David Gandy!!!

They lasted way longer than I thought they would.
Please date someone more famous, J. Lo. It makes it more fun to read about when you date in your circle.
How about dating (er, paying) someone who’s STRAIGHT? *lol*
Casper is still straight. Gay men are into men, period.
Also, I know peeps hate that First Love video, but I love it.
Wind-swept JLo + Hot desert Gandy=YASSSSSSSSSSSSS,
How is he straight when there have been NUMEROUS stories about him being with other MEN? And haven’t you ever heard of bearding? WTF.
Lol. No Casper is on the DL. Jlo (read money and fame) fell into his lap and he has been acting it up ever since. Jlo is an idiot, always was and always will be.
harpreet
Can you still call Casper straight when he has been rumored to be with transexuals and preop male dancers at a few clubs?
I’m not 100% on the lingo, but I think that makes him not a straight man.
Perhaps I need to rewatch too wong foo thanks for everything julie….. long title.
Of course, no matter Caspers sexual identity/preference he cheated and shamed JLo. They’re better apart.
I hope she takes a break from dating/marriages she has literally not been single for like the last twenty years.
That’s what I was going to say. Jeez, try being alone for 10 minutes.
But this is J-Lo and therefore not likely to happen.
Yeah not gonna happen.
Thats what I´m thinking. But given her track record, I guess she has already found a new loser.
Just like Heidi Klum, she can’t seem to go more than a week without a new man. All that fame, beauty and money yet she still feels insecure and needs a man to make her feel whole. I imagine her and Casper had fun while it lasted. He seemed fairly benign until toward the end. Her need for steady men doesn’t set a good example for her children, but hey, it’s her life.
I wonder if Casper got a good send off like Heidi’s ex.
I don’t get people who have kids like JLO or Heidi they get divorce then faster then you can blink their already with someone else who is around their kids 24/7.
I mean before the kids have time to a just to not having daddy around all the time they have new man in their lives only for him to leave when mommy gets tired of him. If they want to have a boy toy fine just keep it away from the kids
Well, Heidi’s boyfriend was around them a lot before anyway as the family’s bodyguard. so the kids were at ease with him. Seal was touring a lot the last couple of years so they were used to seeing daddy gone for periods of time. Mom traveled too. It probably wasn’t as jarring for those kids, although I still agree with you. It’s confusing for little children when parents break up and especially when mommy has someone new in the bedroom at night other than daddy.
I think it would be good for her too, but I agree it won’t happen.
Amen. Take some time to be on your own. Those kids are gorgeous!!
I imagine it is hard to be a PR person discussing breakups. Personally, over the course of a breakup I’m not sure myself how I feel or what the future holds, so I’m sure it is hard to craft a PR message when your client is all over the map.
So very, very true. I would think that is the same at the beginning of a relationship too. You might not be “just friends” but you might not be head over heels in love or even want to be exclusive with someone, and yet people want definitive statements and labels. Oy!
The real question is what she ever saw in the guy in the first place. Famous successful woman picks hideous sleazy backup dancer for boyfriend – what could go wrong?
What she saw in him was an opportunity to prove to her cheating husband that she could hook up with a hot young piece as well. Her mistake was in keeping him around too long after the purpose had already been served.
Never ever could understand what she saw in this hideous creature. Mark Anthony was freaky enough. She could have any gorgeous man on earth. Please spend some time alone and make a better choice next time.
I want her to go out with Cumberbatch. Or Russell Brand.
LOL…well that would be entertaining at least.
That’s the only reason why 😉
Michael Straihan (sp?) interviewed her for GMA just a few days ago and mentioned Casper in an offhand way. She got a little weird when his name came up, but I just thought it was to discourage him from asking about her love life. I’m not invested at all, but for your sake Kaiser, I shall hope the weirdness was because they have broken up.
She must already have someone else. That’s how she rolls.
THISSSSSS That chick is a Known Overlapper if we saw one
Also, Biggest mistake of the day: Pressing play on that video…is she serious with this “music” and that high pitched nasal “singing” and the baby voice at the beginning?!?? im really mad at ya’ll for legitimizing this “music career” of hers Boo!
Yeah, the song SUCKS (although it is a bit more tolerable than I Luh Ya Papi, which makes my intestines cramp). But I muted that ish to watch Mr. Gandy. Yes, indeed. That is the good stuff.
Yeah, I’d be surprised if she DIDN’T already have someone lined up.
Prolly so.
But she should have lost the loser way earlier. Bet he was a jerk about it.
Went on 2.5 years too long. She has *terrible* taste in men, just terrible. Still, the second-hand embarrassment from this disaster …
I KNOW!!!!. Man, if I looked like that you would see me with the hottest, dopest men around!!!! What’s the equivalent of body dysmorphia for her condition, thinking that non-hot men are hot?
Some women like to date down because it makes them feel more secure.
I get it. I’m all over the place with my dating but I always feel more insecure if the guy is hotter than me.
So basically, I’m a mess like J. Lo.
O’Kitt, I think Casper was more a companion than anything and possibly platonic at that.
Interesting that they’ve mentioned his interest in building his own career as a reason for them to break up!
I do deep down think she probably is such a romantic and a sucker for men and I identify with that. Maybe that’s me being an idealist again wanting to see the best in the situation! Either way I really hope she finds happiness.
It’s weird to me how celebrities break up. It seems like they decide to break up, then sit on the information for awhile, continue to make public appearances together and fake it until they feel like it’s a good time to release the news. I can’t imagine living my life that way, faking my most personal emotions based on PR.
I was just thinking about this last night regarding Madonna and Guy Ritchie. I remember how they would make public appearances and he would be holding her by the elbow and would look miserable. People are going to find out the truth and gossip anyway, there is no need to “save face”. Just leave!!! You have the money and resources to do it, why spend time around who makes you miserable??
OMG the cameltoe in the first photo is coming for us! my eyes!!
Break up? More like she fired him.
Break out the Kleenex, she got rid of her boy toy and probably has the next one lined up already.
I hope the next will be David Gandy. They look great together.
I know many people think he’s an idiot but he is so hot. That music video is a masterpiece.
How cute is that picture with her daughter clinging onto her!
She put her hands all over someone like David G in her video and maybe realized what she has been settling for with Casper & Mark all these years.
Time to find a new 25 year old employee, um, “boyfriend”, I mean 🙂
LOLing!
Let’s hope this is true.
At least he got a makeover and some damn fine rags…
And some name recognition where he previously had none. If he has a “career” that’s taking off, he can thank jLo for that.
Yeah, somehow that dude finagled a walk-on part on The Big Bang Theory last month! I spotted him and made sure to pay attention to the credits to verify. Most people who have no lines do not end up in the credits unless it was a stand-out silent part (his wasn’t, IMHO) and certainly not on a show as highly rated as TBBT. How did *that* happen?! Was that JLo? Or something/one else?
The breakup probably took a while because she had to pay him off and get him to sign a nondisclosure agreement. I bet this was almost like getting a divorce.
What I heard is that jlo knew Casper was gay and she is a lesbian. They were basically a cover for eachother. She was reluctant to dump him because they had a good thing going.
Wow, that’s hilarious! Lemme. Guess, getting married and having kids was just a cover? Lmao!
How about J.Lo not immediately jump into bed with another man? She broke up with Affleck only to immediately jump into bed with Marc Anthony only to break up with him only to immediately get with this fool.
People just confirmed it. I guess she was waiting to announce it on Friday. This will the talk of tabloids next week and a hot topic when she promotes her album. Jenny is no dummy.
It’s more like getting let go from a job – good termination package, signed agreement not to disclose. Jennifer, get a real man this time, don’t just hire some smarmy young leech, it’s destroying your credibility. If you ever had any.
David Gandy would be perfect for her — he likes the glamorous life and would match well with her.
NO WAY. Two HUGE egos. It didn’t work with Affleck and it wouldn’t work with Gandy.
She could only be Jenny from the Block, and he wanted Jenny with a… well, ya know.
Jenny from the Block just gave a free concert in the Bronx the other night. Seems 25,000 tickets were up for grabs and only half that amount showed up. MichaelK has a very funny post about it.
All good things come to an end. Almost any mistake can be corrected.
Take your time looking around Jenny, don’t hit the first back up dancer you see.
Good, I don’t know who has the worse choices in men, J Lo or Heidi Klum. They seem to go really far down for their boyfriends, e.g. backup dancer really? or Heidi’s bodyguard…really?
Neither of them also know to try and be single for a while.
Heidi’s bodyguard was at least better looking than Caspar.
I dunno, isn’t Seal considered pretty awesome?
Thank God! I hope she stays single for a while.
“I Luh Ya Papi” Ugh. Just the title alone makes me barfy.
I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did, but I agree with what some others have posted, she’s probably held on until someone else was lined up. Great time to launch a new PR romance if she’s got an album to promote.
Finally!
She needs to have some serious single time now, the woman needs to learn it is OK to be alone for a while before hooking up with her next chosen douche.
Very sneaky how they’ve confirmed the tabloid rumours of Casper’s extra curriculum activities without appearing to do so.
