JENNIFER Lopez’s ex Casper Smart has denied claims that he cheated on the star with a transgender model named Xristina Marie.

In an interview with The Sun, Marie claims she hooked up with the dancer well before recent news of his split with Lopez went public.

Smart told Us Weekly the allegations are absolutely false.

“There is no truth to any meeting or physical encounter,” he said, adding that he is currently “weighing my options on the appropriate action to take”.

Marie is the second transgender model who claims to have had contact with Smart. Prior to his split from Lopez, he was rumoured to have exchanged photos and messages with model, Sofie Vissa. A source told Us Weekly, however, that the stories about him and Vissa are “100 per cent not true”.

Another insider said that the rumours were not a factor in his breakup with the star. “The scandal had nothing to do with it,” the source told the magazine. “He insists none of that is true and she believes him.”

According to all reports, the exes are still on good terms.

“It has actually been an amicable process that started a few months ago. It wasn’t an easy decision,” the source said, “but they decided to stay friends.” Added another insider: “Casper still really loves Jen a lot, and she loves him. They are still close.”
