Jennifer Lopez has been linked to a new romance, with a recent report claiming the singer is spending time with someone privately and has no intention of confirming anything publicly for now.

An insider suggested the relationship is being kept informal and largely out of the spotlight. “It’s a long-distance thing. When he’s in Los Angeles for work, they see each other,” the source said. Rumours intensified after a fan shared an image online that appeared to show a familiar face attending Lopez’s Up All Night Las Vegas residency.

The same source claimed Lopez is deliberately avoiding public attention around her dating life. “Right now, she’s all about keeping things casual. J.Lo’s not ready to go public with anyone at the moment, so they just meet up in secret,” the insider added.

The report indicated that while the other person would prefer more openness, he is respecting her wishes. “He’d love to be loud and proud about their budding relationship, but he’s totally respecting what she wants,” the source said.

The renewed interest in Lopez’s personal life comes as she and former husband Ben Affleck continue to navigate the sale of their Beverly Hills mansion.

After more than a year on the market and a price reduction from $68 million to $52 million, the property was quietly withdrawn again in January. 

Both stars have moved on with separate homes. Affleck purchased a property in Pacific Palisades in 2024, while Lopez bought a Calabasas residence for $21 million after finalising the divorce. 

During her Las Vegas residency, Lopez told audiences her understanding of love has evolved and that any future partner would need to show respect, effort, and acceptance.
