"He went to see her perform, and then they went to Shrine after," a source told People magazine.

"They were flirting. They were dancing very close. I don't know if they kissed. They had a lot of fun together," the insider explained.

Lopez reportedly met the "Dancing With The Stars" professional dancer, 34, through their mutual friends Leah Remini and fellow dancer Tony Dovolani. They both recently denied that they are more than friends.

"No I'm not. #rumors #nottrue" Lopez tweeted on June 12.

"I've got 4 words for everyone: LIVE AND LET LIVE! NAMASTE Y'ALL," Chmerkovskiy tweeted.

Lopez recently confirmed that she and Smart, 27, are no longer in a relationship. The "American Idol" judge is believed to have ended the romance earlier this year after they grew apart.

In recent weeks two transsexual models have made cheating claims involving Smart, however, insiders maintain that the aspiring actor's split from Lopez had nothing to do with the scandal.

"Casper has been a single guy and can text or see whoever he wants, but the idea that he was knowingly texting a transsexual is laughable," a source told TMZ.com.

"He's not that guy, but like a lot of single guys online he obviously likes to look at a 'lil T and A,'" the insider revealed.

The pair were reportedly experiencing other "issues" in the months leading to their split.

"There were issues that pre-date these new reports," an insider said.

"She has a really busy three weeks and doesn't have time to deal with this," the source added. "And she's on the East Coast and he's working on the West Coast."
