Lopez had a sour break off with Diddy but applauded his performance.

London: Singer Jennifer Lopez had a sour break off with rapper P Diddy, but that didn`t deter her from applauding her former beau`s performance on an episode of talent hunt reality show `American Idol`.

Diddy and his group, Diddy Dirty Money, performed his new single "Coming Home", which was followed by an energetic applause from Lopez, reports a daily. Lopez was also seen turning to fellow judge Steven Tyler after the performance, and said: "Nice!" Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, went ahead and spoke about how impressed he is with the way Lopez has conducted herself as a new judge on the panel. "She`s made me cry like, twice, and she`s looked good doing it. And she`s made sense so, you know, I`m proud of her. She`s a nice person so, you know, when you`re super nice, your emotions get the best of you. It`s good though - it`s good to see that change in the competitive shows. I think she`s very refreshing," he said. Lopez and Diddy began dating in 1999. They ended the relationship two years later. Now Lopez is happily married to Marc Anthony, with whom she has twins Max and Emme, while Diddy is a father-of-five. IANS
