Jennifer Lopez' Hot Instagram Photo Slams Maksim Chmerkovskiy Dating Rumors

The singer posted a thigh-baring photo of herself wearing a meaningful sweater on Instagram.

Jennifer Lopez is seen donning a light pink sweater bearing a pink sequined print which reads "myself" enclosed in a heart in the photo. The "I Luh Ya Papi" singer also wore a pair of extra short cut-off denim jeans in white and a white-and-gold accessory to match.

She posed for the camera - one leg over the other, leaving her right thigh in plain view and her face giving off that sultry look. Jennifer captioned the Instagram photo, "The key..."

According to Perez Hilton, the photo could very well be the singer's way of explaining why there is no truth to the Maksim Chmerkovskiy dating rumors. "She's loving herself first!" says the outlet.

Just last month, rumors about the singer and the "Dancing With the Stars" professional dancer dating spread like wild-fire. The two are allegedly already in a dating relationship - especially with Jennifer's break-up with boyfriend of two years, Casper Smart.

New York Daily News reports that the two reportedly got together less than a week after her split with Smart. This is mainly because the two's feelings for each other allegedly developed last year in November during their American Music Awards performance.

The two also allegedly flirted with each other at Shrine nightclub, Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut, reports People. "He went to see her perform, and then they went to Shrine after. They were flirting. They were dancing very close. I don't know if they kissed. They had a lot of fun together," a source told the outlet.

TMZ claims to have a photo of the two at Shrine nightclub, saying that the two were pretty much close during the night indeed.

Amidst all these, the singer has denied the dating rumors, telling Wendy Williams on her TV show that she was actually single. "I have been for a couple of months," she said on the show.

Jennifer also declared she was without a boyfriend on Twitter when she responded to a tweet about her dating someone new. "@Qburgh No I'm not. #rumors #nottrue#AKAinstoresJune17 :)" she said in the tweet. She later added, after another fan questioned her status, "@MySimple_Life No I'm not. (dating anyone new already.)"

Now with the recently posted Instagram photo, the singer seems to be reiterating the same message. What do you think? Is Jennifer Lopez really single or is she just putting up a good front?
