Jennifer Lopez is embracing the East Coast summer, even if it's not exactly how she envisioned it. With her birthday celebrations in the Hamptons and her "This Is Me... Live" tour on hold, the star is focusing on family and friends.
"Her summer isn't exactly what she originally had planned, but she's making the best of it. She's always grateful for family time," says a source close to Lopez.
The multi-hyphenate star celebrated her 55th birthday on July 24th with a weekend of festivities. A "Bridgerton"-themed bash kicked off the celebrations, followed by an intimate birthday lunch with close friends and family the next day.
"She had a great weekend with family and friends," the source shared. "She loves entertaining and enjoyed her birthday bash. She was in a happy mood."
Originally, Lopez's summer was scheduled to be packed with performances as she embarked on her "This Is Me... Live" tour, hitting cities across North America. However, the tour was postponed, with Live Nation citing Lopez needing time with her children, family, and friends.
Lopez herself confirmed the postponement, expressing her disappointment but explaining her decision was due to what she felt was absolutely necessary. She reassured fans that she would make it up to them and that they would all be together again.
While Lopez has been enjoying her time in the Hamptons, her husband, Ben Affleck, has been spending time in Los Angeles. Recent reports have suggested strains in their marriage, but neither Lopez nor Affleck have publicly addressed the rumors.
Despite the changes in her summer plans, Lopez seems to be embracing the unexpected. As one insider noted, she and Affleck are "focused on their separate lives" this summer and have no plans to spend time together.
Despite the rumored marital difficulties, Lopez remains a powerhouse in entertainment, recently launching the Netflix film "Atlas" to number one on the streaming platform. Her dedication to her career and her family is evident, as she continues to navigate the challenges and joys of a busy life.
