Sources revealed that the singer’s decision is due to a sensitive time in her personal life, per Page Six.

In a special message to her fans, Jennifer, 51, wrote, “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down.”

The Atlas actress continued, “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…”

Live Nation reps announced that the summer tour, This Is Me… Live, which was scheduled to begin June 26 in Orlando, Florida, was canceled in a statement.

It read, “Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends.”

Jennifer shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55, and stepchildren Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with her husband Ben Affleck, 51.

Sources added that the tour cancelation was due to personal reasons and wanting to spend time with her kids, not because of poor ticket sales.

Jennifer previously canceled the final seven dates of the tour after reports claimed that ticket sales were struggling.

The cancelation comes after a source claimed that the Hustlers star and Ben are headed for divorce.

“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, [Ben] would.

“He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work,” the source revealed.

Other sources agreed with the sentiment, claiming that Ben and JLo are too different to work out their relationship.

Tensions appeared to have come to a head as Jennifer filmed her documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which took fans into her private life with the Gone Girl star.

“Things that are private, I’d always felt are sacred and special. So this was something of an adjustment for me,” Ben said of his appearance in the Prime Video doc.

PACKING UP

The stress of Jennifer’s documentary also had another major consequence on their relationship as Ben moved out of the $47 million mansion he shares with his wife “several weeks ago,” claimed a celebrity insider.

“They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour,” the source divulged.

I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down.”

A source close to the couple said that the pair barely saw each other and that a divorce seems inevitable.

“It’s over; they’re headed for a divorce and for once [Ben’s] not to blame. He’s focusing on his work and kids now, “the source told InTouch

They continued, “They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.”

WALK IT OFF

The canceled tour and increased family time might be helping salvage the singer’s marriage as on Thursday, Jennifer and Ben made a rare public appearance together.

The couple was spotted at a family event in Los Angeles.

Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.”

In photos, the duo headed to the house of Ben’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.

Ben and Alias star Jennifer were married from 2005 to 2018, during which they welcomed three children.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck relationship timeline

JLo and Ben were first linked together in 2002 and became engaged later that year. However, they called off the wedding just two years later. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and finally got hitched in 2022. Here is a timeline of their love story:

  • June 2002 – Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck met on the set of Gigli and JLo divorced from her second husband Cris Judd
  • November 2002 – Ben proposed to JLo with a six-carat pink diamond ring
  • September 2003 – JLo and Ben called off their wedding and blamed it on ‘excessive media attention’
  • January 2004 – The celebrity couple announce they are heading separate ways
  • July 2021 – JLo posts an intimate photo of herself beside Ben and they begin dating again
  • April 2022 – Ben proposes to JLo for a second time
  • July 2022 – The celebrity couple officially celebrated their nuptials in a Las Vegas, Nevada, ceremony
  • August 2022 – Ben and JLo have a second A-list wedding at their $8.9million George estate

The Argo director and JLo joined his ex to celebrate his oldest child, Violet graduating from high school.

They were also joined by Ben’s mom, Christine Anne, as they headed into the celebration.

But despite the milestone moment for Violet, neither Ben nor Jen appeared to be in a partying mood.

JLo hid her face behind her hair and her eyes behind sunglasses and Ben sported a slight frown as he carried a large gift basket toward the house.
