You know how everyone is like “what is she thinking?” when they see photos of Jennifer Lopez with her new piece, 24 year-old backup dancer, Casper Smart? As Kaiser mentioned in an earlier story, it would make sense if the guy was attractive, but he just looks so… douchey. I know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, etc., but come on. If you saw this guy in person would you assume that he had a ton of redeeming qualities beyond his physique? Anyway J.Lo’s mother, Guadalupe, apparently shares the public’s sentiment about her daughter’s new boyfriend. Guadalupe is close with her daughter and has lived with her on Long Island so she can watch her grandchildren, Lopez’s three year-old twins with her ex, Marc Anthony. Lopez’s mom is pissed that her daughter is exposing the kids to a new father figure so soon. Lopez went on a Hawaiian vacation with Smart and her twins over Thanksgiving, and outlets reported how great he was with her kids. This new romance does not sit well with Guadalupe, who won’t even speak with her daughter at this point. (If this Star story is accurate.)
A source close to the singer… tells Star that Guadalupe is “devastated” over Jen dating such a young man so soon after her split from Marc – and she’s cut off contact with her A-list daughter! “Guadalupe has become very upset with what she says is Jennifer’s poor judgment,” reveals an insider. “They’re not on speaking terms at the moment.”
More than anything, Guadalupe – who has been a caretaker for Jen’s 3 year-old twins… is upset about J.Lo flaunting the fling in front of her children. “The kids are struggling to understand what’s happened with their father and mother,” the source says. “Then, all of a sudden, there is a new father figure in their life.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, December 12, 2011]
It looks like Lopez got the message, sort of. She left her kids at home when she jetted to Morocco with Smart yesterday, where she’s performing at the opening of a mall for an undoubtedly hefty fee. People has this news along with a quote from an “insider” that “Casper is with her, but she left the kids in L.A. Jennifer is expected back in L.A. before she heads to Peru with her kids for work.” She won’t talk about her dating life “directly”, and told Ryan Secrest, that “Until I’m in a really serious relationship – because of the babies – I’m not really gonna be commenting on my personal life.” She has no problem posing for plenty of paparazzi pics with the guy and giving quotes to People off the record, though. I wouldn’t be surprised if her mom is fed up with it and worried about her grandbabies.

Listen to your mama Jennifer Lynn Lopez
Mom is right this time.
If mama aint happy..aint nobody happy!
i think he’s a rebound… and rebounds are usually a fun mistake. let her have her fun. i have an inkling she’s secretly reeling from her divorce and just wants a casual boy toy a la madonna
It’s not so much the “fun mistake” as it is bringing him along on vacation with her kids. Like her mom said, her kids are having a hard enough time as it is, without this twit hanging around.
Seriously. Have your “fun mistakes” after the kids are in bed JLo.
Opening of a mall? Is she that money hungry? Her mother raised her, why is she then surprised by her lack of taste in men.
I’m genuinely curious as to what you mean by this comment. As far as I know, Guadalupe and J-Lo’s dad have been married for many years. Her sisters have also been in long term relationships. What exactly did Guadalupe do that would dictate Jennifer’s taste in men? It seems to me that J-lo with all of her marriages has behaved exactly opposite from the way she was raised.
She just means her mom knows her better than anyone and shouldn’t be surprised by her choices.
All we need to remember before we start in again on her little pocket pal is the Jennifer Lopez of yester year. Before Selena. During the fly girl days when she had chipmunk cheeks, chola lips, that unfortunate howdy doody bob and no discernable shame.
Chola is an offensive term. You could have made your point without being derogatory.
since when is chola offensive?
Chola is the longest ruling dynasty in India.
I would like to retract my previous HIGHLY offensive statement:
Jennifer Lopez had the most beautifully blushing cheeks that resembled one of natures most spry animals. Her lips were perfectly lined with brown pencil and stylishly filled in with the glossiest red colour, a look only seen on the most fashion-forward, law-abiding, classy, non-razor blade in hair holding ladies of purebred hispanic heritage
. Her haircut had the jagged edges and sophistication of the specialist needs child.
I want it clear that no bad-mouthing of Howdy Doody’s name was intended to anyone who was bothered by my obnoxious insensitivity. My apologies go out to Howdy Doody, an accomplished tv personality who is deserving of respect.
Do you need a massage or something? I can practically feel the tension in your shoulders just by reading your comment.
Take a deep breath and try to have a great day. 🙂
LOL…I miss those days.
People need to lighten up. No one’s trying to be PC on a gossip site. Every damn word is offensive to some Sensitive Sally.
she can have all the fun she wants, but can’t she do it away from her toddlers. having a parade of men in their lives is going to be so confusing for them. it’s parenting 101, jlo.
I agree, Jackie! I understand she may want to have a few flings now that she is single again, but I don’t think she should expose random dudes to her kids. It’s confusing, and possibly upsetting…especially if the little ones grow attached to this guy. I remember when John Gosselin was bringing all his random chicks around those poor kids…I felt so bad for them. Divorce is traumatic enough for adults, let alone kids.
Taking 3yr old twins on a flight to Morocco would be a nightmare, army of nannies or not. That’s probably why she left them at home
That green dress, oh my god. I always think she’s in great shape, and then she wears that monstrosity that shows side flab, a round tummy, and some armpit stuff. As well as highlighting the cooch area.
There’s nothing wrong with jumpoffs – AS LONG AS YOU DON’T INTRODUCE THEM TO YOUR KIDS! I’m a single mom, and that totally violates the code of ethical single parenting. Guadalupe is totally right to be upset.
I think that photo was taken when she & her mother met the British Royalty when they came over. Her dress was very inappropriate, imo.
Oh my god, I’ll say! “Hola, your majesties; check out my short ribs”!
He looks like a hobbit. He probably has big hairy feet.
And he looks like he should be on the Jersey Shore.
That headline is amazing. Baby doucheface!
I guess she really misses Cris Judd. Or how successful her career was when she was with Cris Judd, or how she looked when she was with Cris Judd, etc. It’s like she’s magically trying to time travel back to 2001.
She doesn’t go for men based on their looks. He MUST have really good personality and be good in bed, like Marc.
That kind of “beard” only grows in a grave.
He looks like Danny Wood from New Kids on the Block. And you know Danny was always everyone’s least favorite. They’re both Butaface’s.
Good point. He does look like Danny, but just so much more douchy!
he looks like Jon Cryer from Two and a half men …
My thoughts exactly. Except I have never seen 2.5 Men (yay?!) and am old enough to remember Jon Cryer as Ducky in “Pretty in Pink”…
Guadalupe’ll forgive her once J Lo stops the monthly checks.
No kidding. If the kid had the means to hammer some rubies into Guadaloupe’s social climber’s hiking boots, she’d be trying to marry him herself.
It does look ridiculous but he’s supplying a need, something to cuddle and have hot, prolonged sex with. It is really inappropriate of her, however, to have this kid cavorting around with her children. Maybe if you date someone for a year, you might introduce them to your children, but a fling like this – a bad idea.
i wish people would stop hating on this kid. what’s troubling is that jennifer is preying on a youngster. he is just a boy and she should know better. what about this kid’s devastation after dating a superstar who is no doubt going to leave him behind when she’s done. forget jennifer’s mother…wht about HIS mother? she must be furious…
AND/OR what happens to him/his career when she’s done? Or her kids who seem to be interacting one-on-one with him? I imagine she’ll keep this going while they are working together but after this tour/publicity round (I imagine w/ the amount of dancers she has he’s not on indefinite retention) he’ll just be the dancer who was JLo’s boy toy. I don’t know about the backup dancing world but is that a bad/good thing career-wise? And the 3 yos who have to deal w/ whats going on w/ their parents apart then enduring the effects of yet another split. He IS of age to think about this for himself but if you were a guy working for her and weren’t gay or in a relationship would YOU turn that down? I’m curious as to how this started. I wouldn’t risk my job as a dancer to hit on her yet I also don’t see anything noteworthy about him to make him stand out above the others to be singled out by her. While I’m sure he’s enjoying the perks, special treatment and “exercise” being her boy toy entails, it just seems so predatory and selfish on her part.
I think most mothers would be upset by this but JLo is a 40 year old woman and you can’t tell your adult children how they should be living their lives, they are not going to listen. All you can do is hope they come to their senses before they do something really stupid like marrying the young fool.
Geez, when someone makes Madonna look like a classy, talented broad, it’s time to hang up the career. The desperation & the cluelessness just reek! Take a vacay, Jen, and stay there. Man I feel sorry for the kiddies. Two crazy parents! Jennifer is acting like she got married at 17, divorced at 30, and is just now remembering what it’s like to be young. But she has worldwide name recognition, and this just ain’t right. Clearly her PR firm needs a drink-I can’t imagine what they are going through right now (so HOW do we spin this?) Yoiks. Time for a rest. I am actually missing Lohantics-these other famewhores just don’t do it right.
Well apparently getting a good shag from an utter embarrassment of a guy (he wears a wife-beater, douche-pants and an over-sized backwards baseball cap for chrissake!) is more important than ensuring your kids don’t have long-lasting issues because of your divorce. What a greedy, vapid piece of shit she is. Just goes to show you can take the girl outta the block but you can’t take the block outta the girl.
He does look like a rico suave. But then again, everything is better than a Marc Anthony. The girl is enjoying herself after a toxic relationship and while I agree with her mother on the children issue (if it’s true) on the other hand I also think about what those children saw with Anthony? I’d rather opt for a happy JLo in the presence of a baby douche than a scared and/or sad JLo with a Skeletor. Overall, the dude seems to work, make her happy (for now) and puts up with her divatude.
Looks don’t mean anything, just that he/she has bad taste but personality wise? Nope sorry, I’m not going there and shit on him.
PERSONAL:
My friend dated a sweet guy who looked like a douche. He would do anything for her (get up early for her to wait at the trainstation just to bring her a cup of coffee), wanted a serious relationship, helped her out, gave her massages after a hard working day but he was so arrogant (too much self-esteem that is!) + my friend wanted something casual (sex) so she dumped him. Just saying that looks don’t mean anything. Plus, clothing/style is easier to change than a vile attitude.
LOL at ‘everything is better than Marc Anthony.’
You’re right – look how Jen Aniston made over Justin Theroux … he actually got a mention as one of the sexiest men alive – as if!!! I think she bought him some hair plugs around the hairline as well.
” I think she bought him some hair plugs around the hairline as well.”
Omg, hahaha. I’m not anti-Theriston but that made me laugh!
Is she trying to pull a Madonna with the practically fetal jump-off?
let’s focus on inappropriate j-lo, and just leave the innocent kid alone, he has done nothing, and i know i am in the minority here, but i think he’s cute, look at that body, so sorry, but i see why j-lo is with him.
Yep, you are! Haha.
I can agree he has a nice body, but I can’t get over how short he is! The short forearms give it away and ruins the effect for me.. O_o
I don’t think he’s ugly either, and when he dances in a routine he’s choreographed he actually looks even better. I’ve seen some videos of him on Youtube teaching choreography in some classes and he didn’t seem like a douche or loser to me.
I don’t think it’s a rebound, I think she just has terrible taste in men.
Jlo’s ma is a knockout -wow and in these photos jens new dude looks so much like Jon Cryer.
That green dress…good lord. I don’t see John Cryer in the boy, but I do see Danny Wood from NKOTB.
mother lopez, you’re daughter’s like 50 years old – she can go out with who she likes!
She looks like a fool………..
“See Marc I can still get a man and give it all to him so there !!! ” just like a 14 yr old….
Listen to momma ! your making a world class fool of yourself….
Jlo’s parents have been divorced for years.
Strange bedfellows.
100% agree with her mother. She just got divorced doesnt she need time to heal/time for herself and most importantly to be with her kids who have also just gone through a divorce and daddy no longer in house and need stability right now not to have a new man they dont know at all in their upheaved lives!
If anything dont bring your new fling around your kids. At least keep it separate until decide to stay with this person for long haul.
That dude is not even hot: body, face or otherwise…has anyone checked the sex offender photo listing…
It’s funny that people always say celebrities should date non-celebrities but the second they do they both get bashed for it. I do agree that he shouldn’t be vacationing with the kids. They’ve been dating for just a few weeks maybe months. It’s also tacky that Jennifer claimed she would introduce the kids to new boyfriends.
Her mother is beautiful–it’s obvious where Lopez got her looks.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Jlo – keep the boys off the radar and you’ll have happier babies.
She’s rich, in her forties and getting some young hot boy love. Hey every now and then we all would like to turn back the clock and live for the moment and not give a shit about what anyone thinks. So Jennifer get yours girl enjoy it while it last.
I’m sure the tabloids are busy digging into his past. There will be all kind of stories of ex girlfriends and whatever.
She is an adult and can do what she wants. I just hate when women or men bring the NEW partner around their children until it is going to the next step. It matters to children in ways they may not be able to completely understand or express at such young ages. He was playing with her children like they had been together for a long time. Maybe they have been.
I really hope her mother gave her an earful about keeping her stuff to herself. She must have done it as a jab at Marc. No one likes to see their kids exposed to someone else too soon. Especially this guy. Something tells me Marc put the kibosh on it.
For some reason he reminds me of a very fit, young Matthew Broderick…
Umm dude looks like Dewey Duck. JLo is ridic with her tactics. I mean don’t get me wrong people have needs but really you have three year old twins lady! Show yourself and your kids some respect. Self-esteem is a terrible thing to lose! JLo just gross!!
Boy toys are fine, but can she do it on the down low? This is kind of gross. Whenever I see her with this little hot pocket she looks like she’s trying to flaunt him, maybe make Marc jealous? Just saying. Even though she seems to have a thriving career, she seems very insecure. Well, those are my two cents.
Lupe’s law: Douchebag = a guy with no money.
She does this everytime. As soon as she ends a serious relationship she gets a boytoy almost immediately.. They go on a whirlwind romance then they break up.. Then she gets serious with a man and has a relationship again. Then when that is over, she go looking for a new boy toy.. That’s her pattern, check it out.
“The kids are struggling to understand what’s happened with their father and mother,” the source says. “Then, all of a sudden, there is a new father figure in their life.”
——
I think this line says it all. She’s not thinking about the kids and how this might be confusing for them, seeing Mommy kissing some guy and Daddy isn’t around. I think she’s being very selfish to be acting this way. She should be focusing on her kids right now and not rushing on holidays with some new boy toy, encouraging him to play Daddy with her twins.
He’s not my type, that’s for sure. I don’t find him attractive at all. Too young and thugish for me. I think she’s coming off desperate rushing into being all lovey dovey with this guy, taking him here and there with her and spending Thanksgiving with him and the kids on a beach. What she’s doing…including wearing the nude bodysuit to perform. She’s trying to act like she’s 21 again and she’s not. Instead of being flattering, clothing like the bodysuit and too short dresses just look wrong and stupid.
Doesn’t mean an older woman can’t look sexy but they need to adjust the types of styles as they age in order to emphasize different things than they did at 21. Plus she has two kids that she is a role model and example to. They are looking to her and trying to understand why Daddy suddenly isn’t around and instead of helping make sure they are happy and secure and settling a good routine with her ex, so they are reassured he didn’t just leave them, she’s busy proving her worth to everyone by all her PDA’s with this dancer. I think she’s just making herself look bad. Just my opinion.
She’s desperately trying to recapture her youth. Plain and simple. But this guy does really look like an idiot.
I think it’s one thing to have a sexual relationship with someone, but bringing your piece around your children is irresponsible, I’m surprise Marc Anthony is not stepping in unless he is doing the same thing. For some reason this does not sit right with me either, she has children you can’t just bring anyone around your children, it’s not right!
is it just me or does her boyfriend have dwarf-like qualities? look at those t-rex arms!
Responsible parents don’t introduce their kids to lovers, girlfriends,boyfriends unless they’re serious about that person.
JLO is SO not serious about this guy. He’s a bed warmer right now.
WHY can’t she be single and enjoy her kids and get them use to being with only her full time and dad part time.
Have your side piece at night but not in the day with your kids.
Regardless if the Star story is correct, her taking the twins on the vacation with the douche says it all. Plenty of blind items indicate she has little to no involvement with the twins, barely touches them unless for a photo op. As for the douche, does he not know her first husband was a back up dancer and where is he now? The big winner in all of this, Ben Affleck. The only smart one that kick Jenny back to the block! She was fierce at WPPS years back, sad to see her true colors shining thru.
Not one person is jealous of JHO, she can date, sleep with whomever she wants. Why bring your young babies around another man, when you just separated from their daddy? Kids are more receptive than we give them credit, kids do have questions and they will remember mum being a HO. JHO is the same HO she was when she lived in The Bronx, she just has better clothes and more money.
Well then maybe Good old Jen needs to sotp her mothers check she gets every month and stop paying for the house she lives ifood she buys. Her mother needs to butt out, After all she is the one that raised JLO to be who she is lol One does not bite the hand that supports you so you don;t have to go to work.
Maybe they parked the twins in the Kids’ Club @ St.Regis Princeville where they stayed. There was probably a nanny or 2 along as well, but the message she’s giving her kids is that they aren’t important enough for mom to give them her exclusive attention even when she’s not working.
I can’t blame the young guy for his inexperience & lack of parenting sense, but JLo’s taste in men is poor. I can’t find anything good looking about a majorly tatted guy with ear plugs & the upside-down goatee. Plus the stupid hat. Is that fad Timberlake’s fault?
Mark Anthony’s no looker either.
Casper not only looks douchey but also gaaaaaay.
Hollywood is like a revolving door when it comes to relationships no wonder the kids there are f*cked up.
