Jennifer Lopez, 42, & Casper Smart, 24

The rumored romance between Lopez and Smart is recent – but hasn’t stopped buzzing. According to TMZ, J.Lo and Smart began as friends and, if they are indeed an item, it wouldn’t be the first time Lopez’s heart is captured by a dancer. Google Cris Judd.

Lopez and Smart were reportedly together this past weekend at an after-party for Sunday’s American Music Awards and J.Lo also planted a kiss on the Los-Angeles based dancer, according to reports. La Lopez has remained tightlipped about the rumors though; when asked about it by Ryan Seacrest, the superstar laughed. “What are you talking about? No, I'm a busy girl,” she said. “I don't have time for all that.”
