After Steven Tyler announced his resignation from “American Idol”—closely followed by Jennifer Lopez, who had been unsure about her return since last year—Randy Jackson had a few things to say about his former co-judges.

And while Randy‘s own future in Fox’s long-running singing competition has yet to be determined as well, one thing was sure—his relationships with Lopez and Tyler won’t change.

The sole remaining original judge of “Idol” told Gossip Cop:

Steven and Jennifer are truly two of the most talented and consummate professionals I’ve worked with.”

Randy continued:

“I was friends with them before we hopped on this crazy journey together and I have no doubt our friendships will continue long after. I will love them for life.”

Now hopefully he doesn’t love them enough to follow Jen and Steven‘s footsteps or else the show would be put in some serious danger…
