The announcement was posted to the 54-year-old's website on Friday, confirming that the US summer dates were now canceled and fans would be getting automatic refunds.

"Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family, and close friends," the statement from Live Nation read.

J. Lo added a personal message as well, writing, "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," she added.

The announcement comes amid rampant chatter that Jennifer and her husband of almost two years, Ben Affleck, are headed for divorce.

Though they've recently put on a united front as they attended Ben's daughter's graduation, the two are still said to be living separately as they work through their alleged issues.

This is not the first cancellation to hit J. Lo's newest concert series, as poor ticket sales are said to have led the singer to quietly cut several dates from the schedule.

Why did J. Lo cancel her This Is Me... Now tour?

The ticket struggles came after the associated album, This Is Me... Now, failed to gain traction on the music charts.

In a seeming attempt to boost sales, Lopez rebranded the tour to This Is Me… Live | The Greatest Hits, likely expanding the setlist beyond the languishing record.

In her message, Lopez assured fans she would "make it up" to them and promised that "we will all be together again."
