In a heartfelt announcement that has left fans disappointed but hopefully understanding, Jennifer Lopez has canceled her highly anticipated summer tour, This Is Me… Live, to prioritize her family and personal well-being.

The tour, which was set to run from June to August in support of her latest album This Is Me… Now, will no longer proceed, according to a statement released by Live Nation on Friday, May 31. While Jennifer Lopez didn’t specify the exact reason for the cancellation, many are speculating that it might have something to do with an imminent divorce from her husband, Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez Will Focus On Family

While Jennifer Lopez didn’t disclose details about divorcing Ben Affleck, the actress and singer did state that she is taking this time to focus on her children, family, and close friends amid personal challenges.

Jennifer Lopez, 54, expressed her deep regret over the decision in a message to fans on her website OntheJLo, explaining how difficult the choice was to make but not mentioning Ben Affleck directly. “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” the actress wrote. She continued to explain that she wouldn’t have canceled the tour unless it was “absolutely necessary” and she promised to make it up to fans, saying she will be with them again and expressing her love for them.

And if you’re a fan who purchased tickets in advance, don’t worry because Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s (speculated) marital struggles won’t cost you your ticket. Fans who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will receive automatic refunds. However, those who bought tickets from third-party resale sites must contact the point of purchase for refund details.

Starring In A New Sci-Fi Movie On Netflix

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have both been busy lately amidst the divorce rumors. The decision to cancel the tour comes as Lopez is celebrating the release of her new Netflix film Atlas, which debuted on May 24 and quickly reached No. 1 in 55 countries. Meanwhile, Affleck has been shooting for The Accountant 2.

The Long History Of Bennifer

Despite being seen together recently, sources have indicated that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are experiencing strain in their marriage and have been reportedly living separately in Los Angeles. The couple, who initially met in 2002, rekindled their early 2000s romance in 2021 and married in 2022.

Many sources close to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have spoken out about the couple’s troubles, which has led to wide speculation on their separation. The general speculation is that the pair simply have too contrasting lifestyles, which has created tension in their marriage.

Opposites Attract

Jennifer Lopez is open and outgoing, often sharing her life with fans through social media and her documentary projects like The Greatest Love Story Never Told, and, in contrast, Ben Affleck values privacy and prefers to keep his personal life out of the public eye. This difference was evident when Affleck initially asked Lopez to keep their relationship off social media, a request he later rescinded as a compromise for his wife.

Lopez Will Return To The Stage

For now, her priority is to be with her loved ones and navigate this period with the strength and determination that her fans admire.
