J.Lo Single Delayed After Affleck Split

Superstar Jennifer Lopez has delayed the release of her latest single Baby I Love You so she can remove any reference to former fiance Ben Affleck.

After 18 months of public declarations of love, embarrassed J.LO is reportedly dropping her the song in the fear it will spark ridicule.

Lopez's fourth track from her hit album This is Me, Then, which the Latina devoted to Affleck with songs such as Dear Ben, You Belong to Me, was originally due for a Valentine's Day release.

After Lopez and Affleck ended their romance in January, the sexy singer has been forced to make changes to forthcoming releases, according to Britain's New! magazine.

The song, which features controversial rapper R Kelly, was originally recorded as a personal message to Affleck and the CD sleeve was set to a feature a photo of the famous couple, with a love message written by Lopez across the image.

After the pair split, Lopez demanded the whole batch of CDs be reprinted without any reference to the Hollywood heart-throb.

Bosses at Sony are re-working the video for J.LO's 2002 hit Jenny From the Block and removing the shots of Affleck in time for a forthcoming Greatest Hits DVD.

However, Lopez can be still seen wearing her pink diamond engagement ring in the advertisements for her new perfume Still.
