Jennifer Lopez appears poised to return to Fox’s American Idol, if her boyfriend is to be believed.
In an interview with E! News over the weekend, Casper Smart was asked if Lopez was returning to the reality singing competition to which he replied a simple “yes.”
Rumors about Lopez’ return have been swirling for months. At one point, Fox reportedly attempted to bring Lopez back on the show in the middle of the most recent season.
The only judge officially confirmed for American Idol is Keith Urban who made his debuted on season 12. His co-judges Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey, and Nicki Minaj are all officially out.
At their Television Critics Association panel in July, Fox teased that Lopez could be making a return. The network has also made clear that they’re hoping to reboot the show in light of sinking ratings. Former Idol contestants like Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken, and Jennifer Hudson have all reportedly been considered to become judges.
American Idol season 13 premieres this January, and taped auditions will begin later this year.
