A few months after she and husband Marc Anthony announced they were splitting, the American Idol judge appears to be logging time with a new man: Los Angeles-based dancer Casper Smart.
« Yes, they are dating and having a good time, » a source tells PEOPLE of the pair. « They’ve been getting more open with their flirting for weeks. »
Smart, who has appeared in Glee, Step Up 3D and How I Met Your Mother, reportedly also dances at Los Angeles-area nightclubs.
Smart also reported that he and Lopez worked together on Friday night, posting on his Facebook page: « In Palo Alto Bout to do a show w/ Jennifer Lopez for some1s birthday. »
Lopez had been most recently linked to Bradley Cooper.
As for her budding romance with Casper, another source describes it as « a fun fling. » Says the source: « It’s not meant to turn into anything more. »
A rep for Lopez had no comment.
This wouldn’t be the first time Lopez, 42, has been romantically involved with a dancer. She was married to choreographer and dancer Cris Judd in 2001, and the couple split in 2002.
