Lopez 'faked' break-up
Jennifer Lopez allegedly faked her split from Casper Smart last year.
Lopez, who announced she and the 27-year-old choreographer had ended their relationship in June after three years of dating, was photographed kissing him in West Hollywood last week, sparking reports they orchestrated their break-up to create hype ahead of the release of her lastest movie, The Boy Next Door.
The on-again, off-again couple were spotted locking lips while Lopez was on a break from filming American Idol on which she is a judge.
A source close to the 45-year-old singer, who has seven-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, told gossip website TMZ that she stopped seeing Smart only for a couple of weeks last year in a bid to ignite rumours she was dating her co-star Ryan Guzman, 27.
The insider claims Smart believed he would also benefit from appearing to be single ahead of the release of his UFC fighter film Street.
The duo have frequently been spotted together since they announced their split, but Smart recently insisted they were just "good friends".
He said: "We got a lot of ties. We're very close. We're friends. We're very good friends."
