Amid rumors of a rift in Jennifer Lopez's relationship with Ben Affleck, TMZ and her official website (onthejlo) report that she and her team have canceled her summer tour, once running in North America from June through August. Moreover, a representative for Live Nation reportedly told the publication that the tour completely fell through. The alleged reasoning is that she is "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends," and she even supposedly relayed a message to those following her website according to TMZ, although it's not clearly available at press time. Perhaps a specific newsletter?
Either way, here's the alleged statement from Jennifer Lopez on her website concerning her summer tour's cancelation and next steps, per TMZ. "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you 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. I love you all so much. Until next time…" While no further details emerged, the publication claims that low ticket sale rumors were not a factor in this decision. Apparently, the tour garnered more ticket sales in select cities as of late, and these rumors mostly built off of speculative guesses months in advance, as well.
Jennifer Lopez Cancels Tour
However, many believe that her alleged romantic tension with Ben Affleck could be a factor in this decision, as the two have sent out shady but mostly gossipy indications that things aren't going well. For example, the actor seemed to hide his wedding ring in public, and the singer liked an accusatory IG post that many linked to Affleck. No matter the case, we don't have a clear answer on this as of writing this article, so maybe the future will hold more revelations. Either way, we're sure that this is all disappointing news for hopeful tour attendees.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez is actually dealing with a lot right now, given that she might be a witness in the lawsuits against Diddy according to an attorney close to the situation. That's a bomb of a story and development that we're sure any celebrity would feel quite uneasy about being a part of. Maybe she won't show up at all, but it's still a worrisome thought. Here's hoping that more J. Lo shows down the line don't meet this fate, or that they will truly be indicative of the passion she wanted to bring this time around.
