Just a few short weeks ahead of A.K.A., her 10th studio album, People reports Jennifer Lopez may have split from her younger boyfriend Casper Smart, who seemed to be the subject of her recent single “First Love.” The 44-year-old “American Idol” judge and 27-year-old choreographer have been dating for the past two and a half years, but may have run out of love for one another.
“They initially split about six weeks ago, but that can take a little time to extricate. But they’ve definitely broken up,” a source told People. While neither have confirmed the breakup, the two have remained friendly over the past few months.
Smart, a former backup dancer for Lopez, may have social media to blame for the demise of the relationship. Sources report that Smart is said to have been sending questionable messages and Instagram photos to someone else. Just a few weeks ago, Smart and J.Lo were seen riding together listening to songs from her latest album.

The couple began dating shortly after her divorce from Marc Anthony, who was her third husband. The two were often seen together during her world tour, but didn’t confirm their relationship until months later. When asked in recent months if she would consider marriage for the fourth time, Jennifer remained optimistic but offered no real answer.
“You know, I’ve always believed in that institution. I believe in it, but it is difficult,” she said. “I’ve had my challenges, but at the same time I believe in love, and I think that is the main thing.”
