Jennifer Lopez calls off summer tour amid rumours of marital issues with Ben Affleck

'This Is Me... Live' tour was originally supposed to begin in Orlando, Florida on June 26

Jennifer Lopez said on Friday that her This Is Me... Live summer concert tour has been canceled so she can take time to be with her family. Representatives of Live Nation also announced on Friday that the On the Floor singer needs a break to be with "her children, family and close friends."

Lopez wrote on her website onthejlo.com that she is "completely heartsick and devastated" about letting her fans 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," she added.

The tour cancellation comes amid rampant speculation in the media that her marriage to actor Ben Affleck is on the rocks and may lead to their separation. Lopez had already canceled seven dates of the North American tour in early May. The 54-year-old was going to be performing songs from her recent 2024 album This is Me...Now as a companion to the Amazon MGM documentary of the same name.

Both the album and the documentary were released in February with the album peaking at number 38 on the Billboard album charts. The tour was originally supposed to begin in Orlando, Florida on June 26 and finish on August 17 in New York's Madison Square Garden.

As per reports, Lopez and Affleck are reportedly navigating a challenging period in their marriage, but sources confirm that they remain committed to prioritising their children and family. Despite living apart, the couple recently reunited to attend Affleck's daughter Violet's high school graduation.

The couple has not been photographed together since May 19. However, sources revealed to PEOPLE that Lopez, in particular, is deeply affected by the situation. Despite this, she remains focused on her children and family, a sentiment echoed by Affleck's ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who wishes for his happiness and well-being as a father.
