Lopez to perform at World Cup opener, despite 'production issues'

There are just hours to go until the World Cup gets underway, with an opening ceremony in Sao Paulo which WILL feature Jennifer Lopez.

Lopez has decided she will now sing live,- despite organisers saying she had cancelled because "production issues".

Lopez will perform with Brazilian pop star Claudia Leitte and American rapper Pitbull.

"Jennifer's got a lot of things going on," he said. "I call her a soldier. She's a hustler, she's a grinder. She's done everything over and beyond trying to get down here."

Meanwhile, J Lo is ready to move on from her recent split with 27-year-old dancer Casper Smart after two and a half years of dating.

A source told PEOPLE magazine: "[Jennifer is] already talking about dating."

The insider said that the 44-year-old singer wants to start "a relationship with a guy who is older and has an established career".

The 'First Love' singer, who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, has been married three times in the past and previously dated some high profile men, including rapper P. Diddy and 'Argo' star Ben Affleck.

Jennifer admitted in January that she prefers being in a relationship.

She said: "I'm one of those people who does not like to be alone. I have no shame saying that at this point in my life. I think we have to own who we are."

Sources previously insisted her split from Casper is amicable and she let him keep all of the expensive gifts she bought him during their time together.
