‘My Love Don’t Cost A Thing’: Jennifer Lopez to wed Casper Smart Without Prenup?

celebs 25Jennifer Lopez reportedly wants to marry Casper Smart.

The 43-year-old singer-and-actress – who has been married three times before to former husbands Marc Anthony, Cris Judd and Ojani Noa – has only been dating the 26-year-old back-up dancer for a mere 18 months, but has told pals she’s so in love that she doesn’t need a prenuptial agreement before she ties the knot.

A source told OK! magazine: ”Jennifer insists that their love is real, just like she did with the first three husbands and to prove to herself she’s refusing to have her lawyers draft a prenup. It sounds silly but it’s her way of convincing herself, her exes and the world that Casper is not just a rebound like some critics claim. Making their love about love, not money, is Jennifer’s only way to say to herself that Casper is a ’til death do us part’ kind of guy.”

#weary sigh. Didn’t she already think that about three other guys?

The Things They Say: 67

“I’m convinced the idea of having it all is a myth. You can have a lot and be happy in some areas of your life, but for everything to be working on full cylinders and to be 100 percent, I’ve given up on that. I make the attempt to string together some perfect moments and just let myself off the hook that I’m not going to hit it out of the park every day. When one thing is going well, one thing is springing a leak.”

Gabrielle Union makes some really interesting points about career women and their relationships, not only with men but with all personal relationships. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
