Things certainly seem to be getting pretty serious between Jennifer Lopez and her boyfriend, Casper Smart.

After all, whether it's heating up Miami or tweeting about their romance, these two are definitely not shy about making their feelings for each other known.

And you know what they say: First comes love, then comes marriage.

So will the American Idol judge eventually take the plunge again? 

"I don't know," Lopez told Matt Lauer during an appearance on Today this morning. "We'll see. I don't know. It's not time to think about that yet. It's still fresh."

Of course, the word fresh not only applies to her new relationship with the 24-year-old Smart, but her recent split from Marc Anthony as well.

Yet, despite calling it quits, Lopez and her ex have been able to keep things civil—both personally and professionally.

"Marc and I were friends before we got married. We were friends for years and we always loved each other and we always worked together," said Lopez regarding the former couple's new TV competition series, Q'Viva: The Chosen. "So it wasn't an unnatural thing for us to continue working together and, obviously, we have children together, so it's not like he's not going to be in my life. He's always going to be in my life."

And while she added that sometimes there are those "difficult moments" when they are together, Lopez insisted "there is real love there and there is a family there and that comes first."
