Jennifer Lopez spent her Thanksgiving on the beaches of Hawaii, along with twins Max and Emme and her reported “fling,” 24-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart. But her boy toy may be fast becoming her boyfriend.
E! reports that Lopez and Smart’s relationship is progressing quickly, as evidenced by the holiday trip.
“It’s pretty serious,” a source told E! “They’re together a lot. [Jennifer has] never been happier.”
The source adds that Smart isn’t simply using Lopez for her fame, fortune and hot body. “He’s not asking Jennifer to buy him this or that,” the source says. “He’s courting her, like sending her flowers. I think his intentions are in the right place.”
But Smart isn’t all knight in shining armor, sweeping Lopez off her feet after her split from husband of seven years, Marc Anthony. Smart, whose full name is Beau Paul Smart, has had several run-ins with the law in recent years.
People reports that Smart pleaded “no contest” in March to taking part in an illegal drag race. Smart is out on a $26,000 bail and will appear in court on Jan. 5 for sentencing. If found guilty, he could spend 90 days in jail and would have to pay a fine.
Smart also has several other moving violations in his past, including three charges of driving without a valid license, two speeding tickets, and one charge of evading a toll booth.
But the charges don’t haven’t dampened Smart’s mood. He tweeted yesterday, “Happy Thanksgiving… Give THANKS, Spread LOVE and be a BLESSING! Enjoy today and eat up!”
