312 days ago by Reg Seeton

Jennifer Lopez confirmed that she will not return to the American Idol judge’s table only a day after Steven Tyler announced his Idol exit.

Singer Jennifer confirmed her exit from American Idol to Ryan Seacrest on Friday during Seacrest’s radio show, saying that it’s time to return to the other projects in her life that she put on hold because of her commitment to being an Idol judge.

When asked if she made a final decision on her exit from American Idol, Jennifer Lopez admitted that she has decided to leave the Fox singing competition and that she won’t be back for another season. The news of Jennifer Lopez leaving American Idol comes one day after Steven Tyler went public with his departure from the show to focus on his music with Aerosmith.

“I honestly feel like the time has come,” said Lopez to Seacrest, “that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do that I’ve put kind of on hold because I love Idol so much.”

On Friday, Jennifer Lopez’s official representative also confirmed his client’s exit from American Idol.
