OK! NEWS: JENNIFER LOPEZ CONFIRMS SHE IS LEAVING AMERICAN IDOL

The reality show judge told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Friday — just one day after Steven Tyler announced he was leaving — that she "honestly felt the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do, that I've put on hold because I love Idol so much."

Jennifer continued, "I have a lot of other responsibilities and... I could just do Idol for the rest of my life, but that would be giving up a bunch of other things and I just feel like we had an amazing run."

But now comes an interview with ABC News that sounds just a little confusing. ABC sat down with J.Lo in Montreal on Sunday, while she's touring with with Enrique Iglesias, where she said, "I have decided to move on. I love them, they love me. It's hard when I feel that I should move on. I don't know that's it even done yet. I feel like I am moving on."

The singer will always appreciate that "it got me back in touch with who I was. That is why it is hard to walk away."

But it seems that Steven leaving also factors into her decision, "We had a little bit of magic. With him gone, it will be a different formula," says Jennifer.

Maybe Enrique can help sway her: "I wouldn't be a good judge. You do a good job, you should stay," he said. 

Well, Jennifer. Will you change your mind?
