When: 2011-2016
Lopez met Casper Smart when he was working as a backup dancer on her tour. They dated on and off for almost five years but officially called it quits in 2016. Smart, who was 18 years Lopez's junior, was rumored to have been involved with one of her dancers. Three years after their breakup, Smart opened up about what went wrong in an interview with Univision.
"I was single, she was single. It started out as flirting, then became more than flirting. There was a connection. Neither of us thought it would be more than a fun time and suddenly we were spending time together, we enjoyed each other's company, there was chemistry," he said. It's quite possible that age got in the way. "I was very young, I was 23 or 24, she was 18 years older, so she was about 42 years old with two kids. But in the moment, everything just clicked. We spent every day together for a year."
While much of their relationship was low-key, the pictures do show that the two happily enjoyed each other's company.
