Pop star Jennifer Lopez is reportedly not ready to make official her rumoured relationship with professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy yet, and she has also not introduced him to her children so far.

The singer-actress has been casually dating the professional dancer since breaking up with choreographer Casper Smart, but she doesn't want to rush into another serious relationship, reports contactmusic.com.

She won't even let him meet her children, Max and Emme, six, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, until things get serious.

"She does not want to get her kids involved in meeting another guy yet. This is so new. There has been a date here and there, but really they are good friends before anything else. Maks asks her for advice and she thinks he is super-talented and very hot. Obviously that is hard to ignore,` a source told E! News.
