Jennifer Lopez loves to be in love and has been married four times, plus two failed engagements. Now, it seems she may have sparked a new relationship with an old friend, her former fellow American Idol judge, Keith Urban. So, how did this go from friends to romantic partners? Keep reading for more details.
Jennifer Lopez & Keith Urban Have An Idol Connection
For three seasons, Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez were judges on American Idol. They had a great time and seemed to form a good connection. This makes sense given that they are both performers and were in relationships with fellow celebrities. At the time, Keith was married to Nicole Kidman while Jennifer had just split from Marc Anthony. However, she had previously been engaged to Ben Affleck and dated P. Diddy, so her partners had always been in the spotlight.
Since Keith and Nicole divorced, she has allegedly been out with other men, including Simon Baker. Keith has been linked to several musical women, which makes sense as that is his passion. Now, it appears that he and Jennifer have rekindled their Idol friendship. Moreover, they are taking it to the next level and seeing if this could be something serious. A friend of the duo shared this insight about their status and how they have come back together:
“Keith and Jennifer actually have a huge amount in common. They got along so well when they worked together and really developed a great friendship, so – of course – when the news broke out about Keith’s divorce, Jen reached out to offer her support. They’ve been in touch ever since.”
Allegedly, Keith Urban is very fond of Jennifer Lopez, but is still a tad nervous to go for it. He seems to be dodging the idea of asking her out, despite what friends tell him to do.
Could It Work?
After all is said and done, could Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban work in the long run? He does not appear to be her type, but maybe she would want someone polar opposite from her exes. Plus, he is musical, and that is something she is drawn to. After fans heard about their friendship, did they think this was a good fit? They felt that Keith was too good for her:
- Jenny’s been round the block a few too many times….careful Keith!
- Like my mom always said, every trash can has a lid
- Again??? She needs to stay single until she figures out what she really wants.
- There both on the rebound they will fall butt over band box for each other get married and 2 years later that will be the end of that.
Maybe they can make some great music and leave it at that. Can you see Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez as a couple? Finally, did you remember that they were on Idol together? Let us know in the comments below.
