Boyfriend Casper Smart Makes "Smart" Move To Confirm Singer's Return To Idol

Rumours that J-Lo will be returning to American Idol this fall have been swirling for months, but even after the Deadline announcement that the singer had reportedly signed a $15 million season deal, nothing had been confirmed by the singer or Fox. Now however, it seems that a source much closer to J-Lo has spilled the beans. During an interview discussing his own show A Step Away, Jen’s significant other, Casper Smart, made the sort-of announcement when probed about the singer’s possible involvement with Idol.

"Returning to American Idol makes sense for Jennifer this season," the source explained, adding that the American Idol gig would make fit Jen’s schedule nicely, allowing the star to juggle her career and motherly duties "as the show's schedule will allow her to focus on new film and TV projects" at the same time.

This could only spell good things for Idol.
