Jennifer Lopez, forty four, and her twenty seven year old boyfriend Casper Smart have called it quits after two and a half years.

The split was amicable and the duo would remain friends but they have simply grown apart. Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart decided to go their separate ways a couple of months ago so stated people close to the couple.

“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.” so said a close friend.

Casper Smart recently was rumored to have been engaging in private messages with a transgendered woman he met through Instagram, however, that had nothing to do with their break up.

“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.” an insider said.

Smart is said to be currently moving out while Lopez is busy on the road promoting her tenth studio album.

Jennifer Lopez is all set to perform onstage during her first ever hometown concert to launch State Farm Neighborhood Sessions.

Here’s wishing both Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart a great life ahead.
