Her representative, Mark Young, also confirmed her exit, according to the Associated Press.
Lopez's announcement comes a day after Tyler revealed he would not be returning to the show.
The singer/actress has been hinting that she would be leaving "Idol." During an appearance on the "Today" show Thursday, she said, "I've enjoyed it so much. But I am thinking that maybe it's time for me to go and do other things that I really love to do."
