TMZ is reporting that there has been a death of sorts in Jennifer Lopez‘s family … her Madre has Peaced the Spork Out. No, not her actual madre but her Latin Cuisine restaurant Madre’s has apparently closed up shop:

Now that she’s a new mother, Jennifer Lopez has no need for Madre’s — her Latin restaurant has closed. A sign on the Pasadena eatery says it shuttered on July 1st “until further notice.” Madre’s had been in business for over six years — a lifetime in the world of celeb restaurants. In contrast, Britney’s NYC joint NYLA lasted less than a year.

Now, it’s entirely possible that the restaurant is merely closed for a while (maybe for the summer?) and hasn’t peaced out for good … but the sign on the door that reads that Madre’s is closed “until further notice” does seem telling:

It’s also telling that J. Lo‘s reps have yet to get back with a statement about the state of the biz. I really hope the place isn’t closed for good … I have yet to be able to sample J. Lo‘s Ropa Vieja or her Lomo Asado en su Jugo. Have I lost out on my chance forever?
