Jennifer Lopez's former partner, Casper Smart, allegedly encountered legal issues shortly before Christmas. Law enforcement officials arrived at the dancer-actor's residence in Los Angeles at approximately 9 a.m. on December 23, following a report suggesting that he was growing marijuana on the property. According to a report from TMZ dated December 30 (US time), authorities promptly responded to the tip regarding the marijuana cultivation operation.

Law enforcement officials secured a search warrant and conducted a raid on Smart's residence. During the intense search, Smart, known for his appearance in Lopez’s “Dance Again” music video, was present along with a female companion. The intelligence gathered by the officers was confirmed to be reliable, as the search reportedly uncovered a small to medium-sized cannabis cultivation operation at the location.

Despite these findings, Casper issued a citation and released Smart at the scene. According to reports from a US tabloid, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is expected to assume responsibility for the case and will soon determine Smart’s legal status and any potential charges that may arise.

An overview of the romantic history between Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart

Jennifer Lopez and Beau Casper Smart became romantically involved in 2011, shortly after the singer ended her marriage to Marc Anthony. Their relationship experienced several ups and downs over a span of five years. As reported by PEOPLE, a source indicated in 2016 that their breakup was not dramatic, stating it simply reached a natural conclusion. The source further noted, “They will remain friends and they see each other, but they are not together. It was very amicable.”

Initially, insiders characterized their budding relationship as “a fun fling,” suggesting it was not intended to develop into something more serious. However, it eventually evolved into a relatively enduring romance. In July 2012, Smart publicly commented on their relationship, emphasizing their preference for privacy. “We don’t really go out very much. We both don’t drink, we don’t do any drugs, smoking, pills or any of the craziness. We don’t get wrapped up in the Hollywood life that can chew you up and spit you out. I’ve seen it happen a million times,” Smart stated.

A few months later, reports emerged suggesting that Lopez's on-again, off-again relationship with Casper had ended due to allegations of infidelity on his part.
