Ever since her split from Casper Smart last month, it has been rumored that Jennifer Lopez is dating professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
The ballroom dancer has already denied those rumors, and, speaking to NY Daily News, he has addressed the dating reports again.
“I now understand why Hollywood is such a difficult place to have a good relationship in: because there’s all these interferences. Two people have to be so strong – and notice I didn’t say ‘in love,'” Maksim said. “They have to be in love, but trust me, there’ve been situations when two people have been really in love, and all of this gets in the way and it completely ruins it.”
As for his relationship with Lopez, he said: “With the Jennifer thing, look, we’re friends and…we’re friends. This is it. This is where it ends, pretty much.”
Jennifer hasn’t commented on the rumored romance yet.
