Jennifer Lopez has confirmed on her website that her “This Is Me … Live” summer tour has been called off, leaving her feeling ‘distraught and deeply upset’. “Believe me, I wouldn’t have done this unless it was completely unavoidable,” she assured her followers, pledging that they would reunite once more.
Live Nation, the owner of Ticketmaster and the firm behind the show, stated that Jennifer is taking time to spend with her children, family, and close friends. Those who had bought tickets via Ticketmaster will be automatically recompensed.
Irrespective of the earlier cancellation of a few tour dates and seemingly poor ticket sales, as noted by Variety in March, the tour’s scheduled venues across the country showed a considerable number of vacant seats.
At 54, Lopez has courted not only fame for her craft, starring in the top-rated Netflix movie “Atlas” in America, but also considerable attention to her private life. She invested $20 million into a personal endeavour in February, which included the studio album “This Is Me… Now,” a supplementary musical movie called “This Is Me … Now: A Love Story”, and the making-of documentary “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” featuring her spouse, actor-director Ben Affleck (51). Coinciding with this year’s Super Bowl, they made a joint appearance in a Dunkin’ Donuts advert.
Despite the couple’s recent endeavours, talk of marital difficulties has been rife for several weeks. Frequently tabloid reports speculate on the state of their relationship. Lopez and Affleck, also referred to by their couple name ‘Bennifer’, briefly engaged between 2002 and 2004, after which they parted ways, only to reconcile in 2021 and tie the knot in July 2022.
Lopez’s representative didn’t immediately answer questions about the cancelled tour or the reported troubles in her marriage to Affleck on Friday. The original version of this article was published in The New York Times.
