Jennifer Lopez isn't on the prowl.
The actress, 45, was falsely linked to her Boy Next Door co-star Ryan Guzman, 27, after appearing at the Golden Globes together. Lopez denied the romance rumors to Ryan Seacrest last week, and on Tuesday, she reassured Ellen DeGeneres that there's nothing going on with Guzman. "He's so fun. He's a real sweet. He's a gentleman," the movie star said. "We are doing all this promo together for the movie."
"So, there's nothing going on?" DeGeneres asked.
"No, no, no," Lopez vowed. "We arrived separately, but then later we went to the parties together."
"We had some fun," the "Booty" singer added, "and it was good."
DeGeneres asked if Guzman has a girlfriend, to which Lopez replied, "I think he might. I'm not sure. I know he did." After the audience laughed, the actress asked, "What? I'm not in his business like that."
"Not yet," the host quipped.
"You never know," Lopez joked as shirtless photos of Guzman appeared on the screen behind her.
"What the heck?" she asked. "What's going on around here?"
On a more serious note, Lopez finds the term "cougar" is sexist and takes offense when it's linked to her name. "I hate that they have a label for a woman who would date a younger guy," she said. "If a younger guy is interested in you, what's the big deal? What's the word for the man who's after younger girls?"
Though she's older than a few exes, like Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Casper Smart, that just coincidental. "I'm not after younger guys. If younger guys like me, then that's one thing. But there's like guys who just go after younger woman. They have no name. No label," she said. "And you can date one person. Label."
"There's just a little bit of an imbalance there," Lopez concluded. "Not fair."
