Despite the fact that Jennifer Lopez has been "heartsick" since the cancellation of her greatest hits summer tour earlier this month, a new source claims that she also experienced a sense of relief after making the surprise announcement.
It was disclosed by a source close to the singer who performed "On the Floor" that Jennifer did not want to be forced to adjust her plans, but "life is a lot right now."
"As sad as she was to cancel the tour, she’s also relieved. She needs to take care of herself. The decision was something that her team encouraged. Everyone is supportive of her focusing on family right now,” an unnamed source told OK Magazine.
On June 26, the tour was supposed to start in Florida and then proceed to visit some of the most populous cities in the United States. On the other hand, Live Nation publicly announced on May 31 that none of the events would be taking place.
"Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends,” the insider stated.
In a statement that she composed herself, Jennifer reassured her followers that she would not have done this if she did not "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…" she concluded.
An update on Jennifer’s career comes at a time when rumors are circulating that she and her husband, Ben Affleck, are planning to split. Both of them have very different perspectives on celebrity, work-life balance, and social media, all of which have reportedly contributed to the strain that has been placed on their relationship. The couple has lived apart for a period of time due to the hectic nature of their careers.
It has been reported that Jennifer "overextends herself" in her professional life because she desires to maintain a full schedule of duties in order to keep herself engaged. While this was going on, the actor who plays Batman stated that they were feeling "worn down" as a result of their incredibly busy schedules.
"Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively and small misunderstandings grew into significant arguments. They have fundamentally different approaches to conflict," the informant shared.
"She really did think she and Ben would be endgame this time around," the tipster added, noting that she was experiencing difficulties in her fourth marriage was "embarrassing" for her.. "She’s upset."
Meanwhile, despite the hardship that has been placed on their marriage, Ben and Jennifer demonstrated compassion for one another at a recent family function. The pair got back together by going to a basketball game in Santa Monica, California, where Ben’s son Samuel, who is 12 years old, play, as per PEOPLE.
After greeting one another, the two were seen kissing one other on the cheek before going into the YMCA with Ben's mother, Chris Anne Boldt. The photo was taken before the two entered the facility.
For the occasion, Jennifer, who is 54 years old, wore a black long-sleeved top and blue jeans. Ben, who is 51 years old, wore a pair of blue jeans, which he combined with a maroon T-shirt and a red corduroy and shearling jacket. The “On The Floor” singer wore a black long-sleeved top. A basketball was being carried by the “Gone Girl” actor during the outing, and it was possible to see the wedding band that he was wearing on his finger.
Jennifer Garner, who would later become Ben’s ex-wife and is also Samuel's mother, was also seen attending the game. Shortly after Jennifer Lopez called off her summer tour, the couple went out on their most recent date together.
According to a statement released by Live Nation, J.Lo made the announcement on Friday, May 31, that she will no longer be performing on her “This Is Me... Live” tour. She described her decision as "taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends."
