Singer Jennifer Lopez is contemplating a new family with her young lover.
J-Lo has four-year-old twins, Emmy and Max, with ex-hubby Marc Anthony, but the 43-year-old is considering having children with backing dancer Casper Smart, who is 18 years her junior.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I haven't closed shop in that department. I don't know, we have to see - we only have so many years that you can do that."
The On The Floor hitmaker said that romance has been one of the key factors in her life.
She added: "I am a lover. I mean, at my core I feel like that's such a big part of my personality - and a part of why I do what I do - because I have so much to say on that subject. I feel like that's what my life is about."
Smart began dating the diva in November after he was booked for her shows last summer. He has previously worked with a troupe of dancing clowns, the paper reports.
Lopez has now made him her choreographer and he travels the world in her private jet.
His former clown-troupe mentor Thomas Johnson told the paper: "J-Lo is dating a clown. That's what she wants. They are in a big old circus - and her kids are happy because he is a clown. He is going to make it a brighter atmosphere in their house because he knows everything doesn't have to be so serious all the time. I think it's amazing. If they are both serious, it could be a win-win situation."
Lopez has been married three times and counts Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Ben Affleck as former lovers.
