Jennifer Lopez announced on Friday that she has canceled her \u201cThis Is Me \u2026 Live\u201d summer tour. In a message on her website<\/a> she said she was \u201cheartsick and devastated\u201d about the decision.<\/p>\n \u201cPlease know that I wouldn\u2019t do this if I didn\u2019t feel that it was absolutely necessary,\u201d she continued, promising her fans that they\u2019d be \u201ctogether again.\u201d<\/p>\n An accompanying statement from Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said that \u201cJennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends,\u201d and that tickets bought through Ticketmaster would be refunded automatically.<\/p>\n The tour, scheduled for arenas across the country, appeared to be struggling with ticket sales; earlier this year, a handful of dates had been canceled and several shows appeared to have a number of unsold seats, Variety reported<\/a> in March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The cancellation comes during a time when Lopez, 54, has been in the spotlight for both her work and her personal life. She currently stars in the sci-fi action thriller \u201cAtlas,\u201d<\/a> which has been the No. 1 film on Netflix in the United States since its debut last week.<\/p>\n And in February, she released an expansive, ambitious project, which she had poured $20 million<\/a> of her own money into. It included a studio album, \u201cThis Is Me \u2026 Now<\/a>\u201d; an accompanying musical film, \u201cThis Is Me \u2026 Now: A Love Story<\/a>\u201d; and a making-of documentary, \u201cThe Greatest Love Story Never Told,\u201d which stars her husband, the actor and director Ben Affleck, 51. The pair also appeared together in an ad for Dunkin\u2019 Donuts<\/a> that debuted during this year\u2019s Super Bowl.<\/p>\n Despite the recent collaborations, rumors have been swirling for weeks that their marriage is in trouble<\/a>, with tabloids offering reports almost daily on the state of their union. Lopez and Affleck were famously minted as \u201cBennifer\u201d when they dated from about 2002 to 2004, a period that included a brief engagement. They reunited in 2021 and married in July 2022.<\/p>\n A representative for Lopez did not immediately respond on Friday to questions about the tour cancellation or the reports about her marriage to Affleck.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
