With speculation over her private life continuing to intensify, Jennifer Lopez has canceled her forthcoming This Is Me... Live Tour.

The actor and singer made the announcement Friday on her website , telling fans she was completely heartsick and devastated about the decision.

Please know that I wouldnt do this if I didnt feel that it was absolutely necessary, she wrote. 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...

Representatives for tour promoter Live Nation told Billboard that Lopez is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends. People who bought tickets for the now-canceled shows would be eligible for refunds at their point of purchase, they added.
