According to her website, onthejlo, a representative from Live Nation said that Lopez’s “THIS IS ME…LIVE” tour, originally scheduled to start in June and visit numerous North American venues through August, has been entirely canceled.
Live Nation added that Lopez is “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.”
“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” Lopez herself wrote on the website. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”
She continued, “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…”
Reportedly, Ticket Sales Have Little to Do with J-Lo’s Tour Getting Nixed
Jennifer Lopez didn’t explain why her tour was canceled or if her reported problems with Ben Affleck were the root of it. However, TMZ claims to have insider info related to the tour getting the ax.
Despite earlier concerns about weak ticket sales, sources with direct knowledge informed the outlet that this was not a factor in the decision. In fact, the tour had experienced an increase in ticket sales in several key cities.
Meanwhile, Live Nation has announced that fans who purchased tickets via Ticketmaster will receive automatic refunds. For those who bought tickets through third-party resellers like SeatGeek, StubHub, or VividSeats, it’s advisable to contact the respective reseller directly for further information.
Jennifer and Ben have faced public scrutiny regarding their marriage. The couple has conveyed mixed signals about their relationship, appearing together on multiple occasions despite currently living apart.
Jennifer Lopez Canceling Her Tour Adds Fuel to Divorce Rumblings with Ben Affleck
Earlier this spring, Ben reportedly began staying at a home in Brentwood. Meanwhile, Jennifer remained in their $60 million Beverly Hills residence, which they purchased just last year.
It remains uncertain whether they are truly heading for divorce, as neither party has addressed the issue. Of course, Affleck was recently seen concealing his ring finger in paparazzi photos. He seemingly tucked his left hand under a sweatshirt.
Moreover, when faced with the rumors during a press tour for her new movie Atlas, Lopez responded to the reporter, “You know better than that.”
