Even after three failed marriages, Jennifer Lopez still hasn’t given up on the idea on finding Mr. Right. According to People, the star told ABC News’s Amy Robach that she would give marriage another try, stating, “For me, the biggest dream is the fairy tale. I will never give up on that dream.” Lopez’s divorce from Marc Anthony last summer doesn’t seem to be keeping her from finding a new man, as she clearly has something going on with her backup dancer, Casper Smart. Lopez would not open up about her love life, but Smart says it was not love at first sight. “It was very natural how it happened,” he says. “There was nothing before. No flirting, nothing before. Just natural. It just happened.”

Until the early 2000s, most women hadn’t even considered moving backward a generation in their search for a partner, and if they did, their friends and the rest of society served them with a cool dish of disapproval. Then, the cougar craze peaked when couples like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher became household names. Single women everywhere finally felt free to scope out younger men in their hunky hunt for love. Now, nearly a decade later, the publicity over cougars has slowed to a crawl and with the dissolve of the Kutcher-Moore marriage, some have been left to wonder if the phenomenon has passed. Newsflash: it hasn’t! The press may have moved on to newer stories, but these couples prove that women have been following their hearts, regardless of age, long before the cougar craze hit, and they’ll continue to do so long after:

There are some things in life that go together like peanut butter and jelly or a refreshing glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. Some of our favorite celebrity couples compliment each other in the same way. Although many of our most loved duos have split and moved on, there’s no shame in wishing they would reunite. Think way back to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake; they always seemed like the perfect couple on “The Mickey Mouse Club.” What would life be like if all of our favorite Hollywood couples got back together? Here are a few Tinseltown twosomes we would love to see re-spark their old flames:

Some of us view Hollywood stars as lifestyle role models. You want Sofia Vergara’s lipstick, Beyonce’s curly hair or the Balenciaga bag that everybody and their mother was rocking on the red carpet recently. While it’s cool to mix celeb style with your own once in a while, it’s important to remember that the people who entertain us with movies, TV and music are just that — people.
That said, the famous are more human than we realize, and some of our favorite celebrities have one thing in common that we should never seek to emulate — their tumultuous relationships. In fact, let’s learn from the love, sex and dating mistakes of the stars.
Here are some celebrity relationship snafus to avoid:
2011 served up some serious heartbreak for a multitude of our favorite celebrities. Off the court, Tony Parker messed up his shot at matrimonial bliss with Eva Longoria. Arnold Schwarzenegger mis-played his hand with Maria, while the Latin heat known as Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony incinerated any enthusiasm for making their marriage work. Twitter gave us a glimpse behind the final curtain of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s six year production, and Taylor Swift kept us all armed with a plethora of musical angst-filled love memoirs – courtesy of her little black book of breakups.
So which “ex factor” do Taylor Swift and Demi Moore along with a host of other stars have in common?

Jennifer Lopez’s rumored romance with dancer Casper Smart may be more than a fling. Smart, who’s 18 years Lopez’s junior, took to Twitter to share his thoughts, reports People. “Age, status, [and] opinions of others are irrelevant. Our hearts are endless and our souls infinite,” tweeted Smart. “Ages are mere reminders of the hours logged on this earth and the precious time remaining. Close your ears and open your hearts; Love and be happy.”

Friday was bring your boyfriend to work day, or at least it was for Jennifer Lopez. Lopez’s new boy toy, Casper Smart, was seen arriving to the American Idol set in Lopez’s Bentley as he stopped by to visit his new lady. The new couple have been inseparable, having recently spent Thanksgiving in Hawaii with Lopez’s twins before jetting off to Morocco. While the singer seems to be wearing divorce well, her ex-husband Marc Anthony, isn’t quite complimenting her style. According to various sources, not only does Anthony not want smart to drive his kids around due to his arrest for drag racing, but he apparently doesn’t want Smart around his kids at all, according to Hollyscoop. In the meantime, Lopez and Anthony have continued working together in their Latin-American talent show venture, Q’Viva!

The split between Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony has been a rocky road, and after six months, Anthony still struggles to face Lopez, who has recently started a new relationship with 24-year-old backup dancer Casper Smart. In fact, Anthony refused to travel to Peru and Chile to host and executive produce the latest auditions on his reality show Q’Viva: The Chosen after a fight with Lopez. It was reported that Anthony spoke to creator Simon Fuller and told him he was considering quitting for good. His reason was “quite simply, J.Lo. I can’t work with her,” an insider toldStar Magazine. The couple was married for seven years, and after the split, working together as business partners may be next to impossible.

Jennifer Lopez and Bradley Cooper are being linked after having a dinner date on Saturday at Per Se in New york. Could the now-single Lopez be over her ex Marc Anthony?

Jennifer Lopez decided to open up about her decision to end her seven year marriage to Marc Anthony. According to People, she said she loved herself too much to continue living in the marriage. Lopez told Vanity Fair, “It’s not that I didn’t love myself before. Sometimes we don’t realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself — if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me.” Looks like she’s definitely come to terms with the split!

Though Marc Anthony was all similes, kisses, and jokes during a recent performance in Bogotá, Colombia, sources close to the performer say that he has been incredibly aloof after splitting from his wife of seven years, Jennifer Lopez. As Spanish TV presenter, Eva Rey, told People, “I saw him when he was passing through the stage, but I think because he split up the day before, he didn’t allow anyone to talk to him or anyone to come to his dressing room.” Rey was planning on introducing Anthony at a pre-show party, but the heartbroken singer never showed. Lately, Anthony has been spending a significant amount of time alone. He’s been distant, spending much time in his hotel room ordering room service. In spite of the fact that Anthony has been withdrawn in his personal life, like a true performer, he was as confident and charismatic as ever on stage.

He’s the father of her twins and the man she decided to marry. However, Jennifer Lopez may have been singing subliminal lyrics about marriage troubles between she and Marc Anthony on her album Love? The title alone questions the stability of their marriage, but to supplement that, in one of the songs on the album, One Love, which Lopez co-wrote, the singer names off three previous loves before she gets to “number four.” This one “sang to me, but I’m not sure, so worn out, but … made me wanna try once more,” she sings. According to People, Lopez may be referring to her previous romances between Sean “P Diddy” Combs, Chris Judd and Ben Affleck, followed by “number four,” who is presumably Marc Anthony.
