Jennifer Lopez And Casper Smart Celebrate One-Year Anniversary

It seemed unlikely that a relationship between a 43-year-old pop singer and her 25-year-old backup dancer would last, especially since the aforementioned singer, Jennifer Lopez had only recently separated from her former husband, Marc Anthony. One year later, the couple seems to be going strong, and Lopez and beau Casper Smart recently celebrated their one-year anniversary in a very public format.

On Thursday, the two got really maudlin with one another via Twitter, cooing and oohing over their one-year anniversary. I hate to get annoyed at anyone’s happiness, but throwing out pet names on the Internet is really creepy. Regardless, here’s what Jenny from the Block had to say to her ‘Bear.’

“BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today is OUR's!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful smile with me everyday! #SpecialDay ♥ #LOVE!”

US Weekly first reported the story, also noting that Smart responded in an equally lovey-dovey manner. By all accounts, the dude seems pretty head over heels.

“Happy 1 yr. anniversary to the most Gorgeous, Kind, Sweet, Funny, Beautiful Lil Bear in the world.... Love Bear #October25”

Back in the day, I always assumed Lopez hated the whole Bennifer thing the media threw at herself and Ben Affleck. Now, I’m thinking she probably reveled in it. I hope the singer really understands that she is an adult and she has responsibilities outside of herself (namely her kids). That being said, everyone deserves a little happiness, and if Smart gives her that, it would be cruel to condemn that happiness. Almost as cruel as forcing the Twitterverse through a round of pet names.
