Pictured: Jennifer Lopez Kissing New Beau Casper Smart

Not that this needed any more confirmation, but there's a new man in Jennifer Lopez's life: his name is Casper Smart and he's a 24-year old backup dancer. The two have now gone public with their romance, ditching all attempts at keeping it under wraps.

Over the weekend, word got out online that Jennifer had flown her latest boyfriend to Hawaii on a family holiday. Paparazzi shots seemed to confirm the state of their romance.

Today, new photos of the two have emerged online and, if anything, they show that neither Jennifer nor Casper is willing to go to all lengths to keep the relationship a secret anymore, as the Daily Mail also points out.

They show the two lovebirds outside a rehearsal studio in LA, kissing, hugging and being playful. Other pics in the set are of the two on the beach, with Casper playing with Lopez's kids.

While this might as well count as the couple's first “public” outing since being together, E! News points out that Casper is also talking about it on Twitter.

Admittedly, he's been receiving negative comments about the relationship and he wants to set the record straight and put haters in their place.

“I don't understand how people can speak on other people or things they know nothing of??!!! #CRAZY Off to Morocco!!!!” he tweeted a few days ago.

His friends and followers are also defending him on the social networking website: people should abstain from judging others because they assume they know too much – and they actually know nothing.

“Why are ppl judging @Caspersmart no 1 knows how long @JLo was separated be4 she announced the divorce ppl need 2 stop being so quick 2 judge,” one follower said and Casper retweeted.

The RT from Smart could very well indicate that he's trying to say that he's been with Lopez for far longer than it is believed in the press, because she separated from Marc Anthony before the time she broke the news.
