They split in 2000 after dating for two-and-a-half years, in a break-up labelled ‘ugly’ by Jennifer Lopez.<\/span><\/p>\n

But last night the American Idol judge was reunited with ex-boyfriend P Diddy as he took to the stage on the TV talent show to perform his new single Coming Home.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Lopez appeared happy to see her former flame, applauding energetically after his performance with his group Diddy-Dirty Money.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"Applause:<\/p>\n

Applause: Jennifer Lopez claps after ex-boyfriend P Diddy performed on American Idol last night<\/p>\n

\n\"Emotional:<\/p>\n

Emotional: Diddy performed his new song Coming Home with a background of photographs of his children<\/p>\n

Lopez was also seen turning to fellow judge Steven Tyler after the performance, keeping it simple by just saying, ‘Nice!’<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As well as performing his new track
\non the show, Diddy also served as a musical mentor on the programme, and
\nsaid previously that he was impressed with how Lopez had conducted
\nherself as a new judge on the panel.<\/span><\/p>\n

He
\nexplained: ‘The way Jennifer handled coming after Simon, and even
\nmyself from Making the Band and the way we were hard coaches – she’s
\nbeen like, a compassionate person.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\"Energetic:<\/p>\n

Energetic: Diddy performed the track with his group Diddy-Dirty Money as the judges looked on<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dressed to impress: The singer wore a white shirt with a grey waistcoat and suit trousers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘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.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘She’s a nice person so, you know, when you’re super nice, your emotions get the best of you.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘It’s good though – it’s good to see that change in the competitive shows. I think she’s very refreshing.’
<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"All<\/p>\n

All out glamour: Lopez chose a white puff sleeve top with a mustard-coloured miniskirt as she joined fellow judges Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson on the stage<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lopez
\nand Diddy began dating in 1999 but the high profile relationship ended
\ntwo years later soon after they were both arrested over a nightclub
\nshooting in New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"Former<\/p>\n

Former love: Lopez and Diddy split in 2000 after dating for two-and-a-half years<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

She revealed in a tell-all interview last year that the incident was one of her lowest moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘That was one of the worst nights of my life,’ she said bluntly.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘It was devastating for me to have lived through that.’
<\/span><\/p>\n

She says the relationship was never able to recover.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘It started out as something very pure and innocent,’ she said.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘But it did get ugly – it did get sordid.’
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘We did fall in love and we were very close. He became a mentor as well and he really nurtured me.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘But my relationship with him was always something I knew would end.’<\/span><\/p>\n

After their split Diddy admitted he was going to find it hard to cope after the break-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said in 2001: ‘Jennifer is somebody I will always love.
<\/span><\/p>\n

‘It’s hard being a celebrity in a relationship. We will meet again some day. My heart is strong.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Lopez is now happily married to Marc Anthony, with whom she has twins Max and Emme, while Diddy is a father-of-five.<\/span><\/p>\n
