Says the insider: "Jen's family is very protective of her, and they're really concerned that she's moving way too fast with Casper. It's not that they have anything against Casper personally, but they're concerned about the age gap J.Lo is 43; Casper is 25, and are worried that Jen maybe getting in over her head.
"They just focused on the fact that Jennifer has a long history of moving too quickly when it comes to her relationships — which she can't deny."
Although Jennifer has been aware of her family's concersn, she was shocked when her mom, a sister and others sat her down to have a talk."
"It wasn't an attack on Jennifer or even Casper — it was more like her family stepping in and trying to talk sense into her," says the insider.
