Forbes StaffJennifer Lopez canceled her “This Is Me…Live” world tour to prioritize family time. On May 31, Live Nation announced her decision to cancel the upcoming arena tour, which was set to begin in June. “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends,” the company’s reps stated, assuring fans that they will automatically refund their tickets.
Lopez, 54, expressed her regret on her platform, On the JLo. “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” she wrote. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you, and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…”
This announcement comes amid growing rumors that Jennifer Lopez and her husband of nearly two years, Ben Affleck, are “headed towards divorce.” The rumors began after Lopez attended the Met Gala alone on May 6. She has since promoted her latest movie, “Atlas,” without any joint red carpet appearances with Affleck. Nevertheless, both actors have continued wearing their wedding rings and recently held hands at Violet Affleck’s graduation.
Earlier this month, a source told Us Weekly that the couple is not splitting up but is “having issues in their marriage,” specifically mentioning the tour as a point of contention. “They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her [This Is Me…Live] tour,” the source said. “Jen is very focused on work. They are on two completely different pages most of the time.”
Some fans remain skeptical, suggesting on social media that Lopez canceled the tour due to poor ticket sales.
