Her career skyrocketed again, however, her personal life was troubled; in July 2011, Lopez and Marc Anthony announced their plans to seperate. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Lopez didn't reveal the cause of the breakup, but said, "I loved myself enough to walk away." With a new hit song out, the superstar refused to be deterred. "I am positive, determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother,

entertainer, and person."

And then in July 2012, just days after fellow judge Steven Tyler announced he would not be returning to American Idol, Lopez made a similar announcement about departing the show.

"I honestly feel like the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do, that I put ... on hold because I love Idol so much," Lopez told Ryan Seacrest on his morning radio show KIIS-FM. "I could do Idol for the rest of my life, but that would be giving up a bunch of other things. We had an amazing run."
