Jennifer Lopez spotted driving around LA with ex-boyfriend Casper Smart

The 45-year-old singer, who has six-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, reportedly attempted to hide when paparazzi started taking pictures of them together in her white BMW convertible while Casper was behind the wheel.

But an insider told E! News: "Casper has an enormous amount of respect for Jennifer and her kids. He still loves her and cares about the kids. Nothing has really chanced since they split regarding their relationship and nothing romantic is going on."

Jennifer was recently linked to 'Dancing with the Stars' performer Maksim Chmerkovskiy, 34, who attended a belated private birthday party for the actress, who celebrated her birthday in July, last week.

Another source recently insisted they are taking their relationship slowly, adding: "She does not want to get her kids involved in meeting another guy yet.

"This is so new. There has been a date here and there, but really they are good friends before anything else. Maks asks her for advice and she thinks he is super-talented and very hot. Obviously that is hard to ignore."
