The singer has called off her summer dates for personal reasons
Jennifer Lopez has cancelled her summer tour dates to spend more time with her kids.
This unexpected cancellation comes as rumours circulate in the press that the singer is in the midst of a divorce from husband Ben Affleck.
The 54-year-old singer announced the tour’s termination in her ‘On the JLo‘ newsletter.
She wrote: “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. 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…”
Representatives for Live Nation confirmed that This Is Me…Live had been called off in a statement, saying: “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.”
Sources close to the singer told Page Six that the cancellation was purely for personal reasons, and not related to reportedly low ticket sales.
The tour had already undergone a rebrand in April, as it was previously called This Is Me…Now, a nod to her latest album.
Lopez had created the album in the wake of rekindling her romance with the Good Will Hunting star, years after they first dated and went their separate ways.
Upon release, the album debuted at Number 38 in the Billboard 200.

However, rumours have still circulated that Lopez and Affleck are heading for a second split, with sources telling Page Six that divorce was on the way.
The fact that Affleck did not appear with his wife at the Met Gala in May was taken as a sign that their relationship was in trouble.
Lopez and Affleck first met in 2001 when they were filming Gigli, with the two becoming a celebrity power couple from 2002 to 2004.
Affleck popped the question to JLo in November 2002, but their September 2003 wedding was called off due to ‘excessive media attention’.
They ultimately went their separate ways four months later.
Fast forward seventeen years to 2021 though, and the two are back together.

They ultimately made it down the aisle in June 2022 for a Las Vegas wedding.
Lopez is Affleck’s second marriage, after he was wed to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018.
For Lopez, Affleck is her fourth husband, after tying the knot with Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony.
