14 DAY TRIAL // Jennifer Lopez is now dating a man almost half her age: Casper Smart is just 24 and he's her backup dancer, now boyfriend. Fresh reports suggest that she's in danger of being dumped after he bleeds her dry of money and connections.
The two have been dating for some time now, but friends of the diva still don't believe Casper has Jennifer's best interest at heart, the latest print issue of Star magazine claims (story via here).
In fact, he has anything but Jennifer's wellbeing on his mind: Casper is using her, Star writes.
He's only after her money and her connections, and will dump her to the curb the moment he gets what he wants from her.
“Jen’s friends are concerned that Casper is using her for fame and fortune. They think after he cashes in, he’ll dump her like yesterday’s news,” an unnamed but admittedly reliable source is quoted as saying.
They fear that this is just another rollercoaster ride for Lopez, one that will see her end up heartbroken again.
“Everyone’s worried that Jen will wind up with a broken heart again and humiliated. It’s so obvious to everyone but Jen that he’s using her,” the spy explains.
Her friends have tried to warn her, the insider goes on to say. Two of them even told her to watch out for Casper, because he can't possibly mean well – and they were cast off.
“Jen dumped two longtime girlfriends because they were slamming Casper… Jen exploded, calling her friends traitors. Ultimately, she chose Casper over her pals,” the insider says.
Now, Jennifer pays for everything out of her own pocket. She can afford it, of course, but friends fear it might be too much – especially since she's also put Casper on a weekly allowance, believed to be to the tune of $10,000 (€7,776).
“He doesn’t have his own money… and at this rate, she’ll go broke supporting his champagne tastes. Casper needles Jen to introduce him to music executives and entertainment big-wigs. Jen bends over backwards to please him,” the tipster dishes.
