She always has Ray! Jennifer Lopez hangs out with co-star Liotta on NYC set of Shades Of Blue as she recovers from Casper Smart split 

Jennifer Lopez seemed to have a lot on her mind as she shot scenes for her TV drama Shades Of Blue in NYC on Wednesday.

The 47-year-old actress is still recovering from a split from Casper Smart, her beau of nearly five years. The two called it quits in August.

It's a good thing she has friend Ray Liotta to lean on. She handpicked the actor, 61, for the TV series and he has since said publicly that the Las Vegas performer has been a wonderful pal.

Liotta plays her superior and father figure Lieutenant Matt Wozniak.

Over the course of the first series, Santos becomes increasingly entangled in morally dubious dealings in order to protect her daughter Cristina.

In an interview Lopez and Liotta gave to Deadline in June, she called the programme 'my best work,' pointing out: 'This was how I started my career. This is who I am.'

She explained: 'I always saw myself as an actress who danced and sang and had those talents as well, and I made my records later in my career. I didn’t make my first record until I was almost 30. So the acting was always the first thing. That was where people got to know me.'

She has been busy with new projects too.

The Bronx native also signed on as judge on the new NBC competition show World Of Dance. And she announced she will star in Griselda, which is being written by Terrance Winter (who wrote Wolf Of Wall Street and Boardwalk Empire). 

In December she's back in Las Vegas for All I Have. 

On the personal end of her life, the Bronx native recently split from her choreographer boyfriend Smart, who is 18 years her junior.

They'd struck up their romance in 2011, back when he was a backup dancer on her tour. 

On Monday night, though, she gave her Instagram followers a glimpse of what the man that got away was missing. 

The Selena actress posed for a selfie in a black nightie that bared a good deal of her generous cleavage. Her caption wished readers: 'Ok good night...,' followed by an emoji of stars, and she pouted for effect.
