Jennifer Lopez to marry Casper Smart?

Pop star Jennifer Lopez is reportedly planning to marry artiste-beau Casper Smart because she believes he is the love of her life.

"She calls him 'love of my life'. She believes it, she thinks he's the one she's been searching for all these years. He may be younger, but she says he is the most secure man she has ever met. He constantly inspires her and lifts her up," contactmusic.com quoted Lopez as saying.

"Jennifer knows a lot of people in her life don't approve of her marrying Casper, but she's stopped caring. She wants to be his wife," the source added.

The 43-year-old was previously married to Ojani Noa, Chris Judd and Marc Anthony.

Lopez's five-year-old twins, Max and Emmie, who she had with Anthony, also like Smart.

Lopez insisted that he's a better father than their real father.

"Casper is devoted to her kids. He is a second father to them. Jennifer says he's much more playful and present than their own dad a lot of the time," the source said.
