Jennifer Lopez Shoots Down Dating Rumors About Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Jennifer Lopez is shooting down rumors that she is dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy from "Dancing With The Stars."
Lopez, 44-year-old actress and singer, has been scrutinized for her relationship with 26-year-old Casper Smart which recently ended. Now, she is making it clear that she is a single woman.
After Pittsburgh radio station Q92 tweeted about Lopez breaking up with Smart to start dating Chmirkovskiy, she refuted the rumors.
"@JLo broke up with Casper Smart on FRIDAY and is already dating someone new! (And he's GOOD LOOKING! FINALLY!)," the tweet coming from the radio station read.
Lopez responded by tweeting the radio station directly.
"@Qburgh No I'm not. #rumors #nottrue #AKAinstoresJune17," Lopez tweeted.
Lopez, who married her two children's father singer Marc Anthony in 2004, announced their divorce in 2012 after one year of separation. Although she is no longer with Smart, she credited her dancer ex-boyfriend for helping her overcome the ordeal.
"I just got out of a big, heavy, devastating thing, and he's helped me heal," she told People of Smart last year. "He's been there for me."
Although Lopez was married three times, she has no regrets about the choices that she has made in life.
"I don't regret those things – that's who I am," Lopez previously revealed to People. "But at least now I'm at a point where I have to recognize that these choices and things that happen are partly because of me and my decisions and I have to be more careful. So I am being more careful."
In an issue of InStyle Magazine last year, Lopez opened up about her outlook on love.
"I live by the mantra that God doesn't give you anything you can't handle," she told the magazine. "It's not until something bad or difficult happens that you really get to grow."
