Jennifer Lopez was basking in the spotlight as the guest of honor at the Human Rights Campaign national dinner on October 5 in Washington, D.C.
There to accept the Ally for Equality Award, she happily strutted across the red carpet, posing for photos with several guests. But her much-younger boyfriend, Casper Smart, was not among them.
Although he did attend the awards, Smart was not photographed on the red carpet with Lopez. And RadarOnline.com has learned that a picture — or lack thereof, in this case — is worth a thousand words.
In fact, they haven’t been photographed together in public in more than three weeks!
Now, multiple sources tell RadarOnline.com exclusively that the couple is headed for a breakup, and even had a mini-split this summer.
“Jennifer is pretty private about the relationship, but she’s been hinting that the spark is gone,” a source close to Lopez says. “She’s having a hard time ignoring the fact that her head has been telling her for a while that this thing with Casper isn’t forever. And now her heart’s saying the same thing.”
Says the source, “They’re obviously in very different places in their lives, and Jennifer wants to take responsibility for her life and not repeat the same mistakes she has made in the past. She enjoyed the relationship for what it is, but now that giddiness has turned to sadness.”
