Amid marital problems, Jennifer Lopez decided to cancel her tour around the United States this summer to spend time with her husband and children.

On May 31, the 54-year-old star announced on her website, saying she was very sad and devastated about this decision. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel it was absolutely necessary,” she wrote. “I promise to make it up to you and we will be together again. I love you so much.”

A representative of the This Is Me… Live tour promoter , Live Nation, told Billboard magazine that Jennifer Lopez “is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends”. They said people who bought tickets for the shows will receive refunds.

Previously, Jennifer Lopez planned to kick off the tour on June 26 in Orlando, Florida and visit many other cities across the country before ending in August in New York. Recently, she shared many photos of her practicing hard for this tour.

One day before making the decision to cancel the tour, J.Lo was seen with Ben Affleck and the children attending the high school graduation ceremony of Violet – Ben’s stepdaughter. She and her husband held hands and walked into school, showing their affection in public for the first time after three months of separation.

According to Page Six , the singer also went to her husband’s home for about an hour on Wednesday. Ben Affleck rented a house alone for about a month amid rumors of a broken marriage.

A source revealed on Us Weekly that J.Lo and her husband’s relationship became tense a few months ago because the singer devoted too much time and energy to her work. “Jennifer started focusing on work and preparing for her tour. She always tries her best at work,” the source said.

In addition to the tour, J.Lo also went to New York to practice for the musical Kiss of the Spider Woman , hosted the Met Gala fashion festival in this city in early May and traveled everywhere to promote the new movie Atlas . Geographic distance and busyness are said to affect the emotions of two people. According to the source, Ben Affleck “disagrees with his wife’s lifestyle” and feels tired of this marriage.

In addition, a friend of the star couple revealed that personality differences were also one of the causes of the rift: “Basically, they have different approaches when conflicts arise. Lopez likes to say everything while Affleck tends to withdraw.”

Jennifer Lopez is open and likes to share about her private life, in contrast to Ben Affleck’s personality. In the documentary This Is Me… Now: A Love Story released in February, Ben shared: “One of the things I didn’t want was to publicize our relationship on social networks. Then I realized It’s like, you’re going to marry a captain but you say, Oh, I don’t like the water. We’re two people with different approaches trying to figure it out union”.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married in July 2022 after a year of dating again. In their youth, they had a passionate love affair, got engaged in 2002 but canceled the wedding at the last minute at the end of 2003 citing stress due to too much media attention
