Cast member Jennifer Lopez attends the premiere for the film ‘Atlas’ at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood in Los Angeles, on May 20. Lopez said today that her “This Is Me… Live” Summer concert tour has been canceled so she can take time to be with her family.

LOS ANGELES >> Jennifer Lopez said today 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 today 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 in the Billboard album charts.

The tour was originally supposed to begin in Orlando, Florida on June 26 and finish on Aug. 17 in New York’s Madison Square Garden.
