A source told DailyMail.com that Lopez was sad to quit the tour, which was selling well, but had to be home at the moment.
“She’s taking time off to be with family and close friends,” the insider said, noting that she had rehearsed often for the show and was ready to commit, but felt it was time for a break.
“This was a very difficult decision for Jennifer to make this week and she is sorry to her fans.
“This decision was not made based on ticket sales; the tour actually did well in most major cities and there was a good revival.”

The tour was rumored to not sell well when it was announced as This Is Me… Now in support of her recent film companion album.
But when it was turned into a Greatest Hits tour called This Is Me… Live, tickets started selling very well, the source said.
The tour nearly sold out in Newark, New Jersey and did well in other cities as well.
The VIP packages also sold well.
‘Jennifer had a big hit with her film Atlas, it was number one all over the world, and she is proud of that and now wants to come home.’
Atlas, in which she starred and produced, was indeed number one in 55 countries. And the film was in the top 10 in 93 countries.

Lopez announced her This is Me… Now tour in February – her first US tour in five years.
In March, she canceled seven dates between August 20 and August 31 in Cleveland, Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans and Houston due to slow sales.
At the same time, she announced the addition of second dates in Miami, Toronto and New York.
This comes after Jennifer said she likes to stay at home.
This week when she spoke to Harper’s Bazaar while debuting her new Delola margarita drink, she said that she is happiest with her $60 million Bel Air, California mansion that Affleck moved out of.
‘I love cooking. My kids love to bake. I love hosting at home, with family and friends, especially now that the weather is warmer. I like having people over. “I don’t like going out all together,” the star said.
And she told it AP that she has slowed down her career, adding that she is going “half” as fast as she used to.
Lopez explained that she has been doing “things that are really exciting” or “inspiring” for her, rather than “just doing everything.”
In the meantime, UsWeekly claimed this week that she loves Affleck because she works too much.

Jennifer spoke in detail to Harper’s Bazaar about how much she enjoys relaxing at home.
“Sometimes it’s brunch or an afternoon by the pool, or a nice little dinner with some friends,” the Hustlers star said.
“Even something mundane: a friend coming over and sitting by the fire.”
The Bronx native also said, “It’s all those things that to me are the artistic moments of your life. It’s like creating the most beautiful life for yourself, and creating moments that are unforgettable for you and your family and friends. For me, that’s really what the Delola lifestyle is all about: creating beautiful moments.’
Meanwhile, UsWeekly has claimed that Jennifer is over-exerting herself.”
The source further stated that Ben “doesn’t agree with Jennifer’s lifestyle” and now feels “tired” by their marriage.
Ben is said to have “checked out” of their relationship and the insider added that he and Jennifer are usually on “two completely different pages.”
Another source close to Jennifer suggested the couple’s work commitments have also been divisive, saying “both have demanding careers that often require them to live in different cities.”
As the couple has been forced to spend time apart in recent months due to their careers – she went to New York for the Met Gala and to shoot Kiss Of The Spider Woman while he was in LA to film The Accountant 2 – the insider said the absence “highlighted the emotional and physical distance between them.”
They said: ‘Over time, Jennifer and Ben found it increasingly difficult to communicate effectively, and minor misunderstandings grew into major arguments.

“They have fundamentally different approaches to conflict,” the insider added, explaining that Jennifer prefers to confront issues head-on, while Ben isn’t as quick to open up.
As they fulfill their work commitments, often from opposite sides, communication has also become a source of contention between the duo.
The couple also take “fundamentally different approaches to conflict,” as Affleck tends to withdraw and Lopez prefers to talk things out.
Affleck married Lopez in 2022 after a reunion in 2021. They were first an item 20 years ago and even got engaged, but broke things off before 2004.
Peoplehowever, had a more positive stance on Bennifer last week.
“They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention,” the source said. ‘Ben hates all the attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach.’

It added that it’s just not “his way” to share so much of his personal life.
‘It doesn’t make him happy and causes stress in his life and then hers. There is no doubt that their different styles clash,” the source said.
A third source, from the music world, said: “She needs that expression, but Affleck just isn’t comfortable with it. After a while it causes tension in the relationship.
“He’s more introspective and private. She loves opening her heart to her fans and to the world. That makes them significantly different, and that is difficult in everyday relationships.’
The People source said they will stick it out. ‘There have always been clashes in their styles, the way they deal with problems and their actions, but nothing has stopped their love over the years. This is an amazing love story,” the insider shared.
