People close to Jennifer Lopez say that the singer and actress is not as well as she told People magazine before hosting the American Music Awards. With so many things on the horizon, JLo wants to leave her problems behind and focus on what she needs to do, but the shadow of Ben Affleck is not letting her take off after the bumpy landing that was the end of her marriage to the actor.
JLo is going through a very delicate professional moment
As she prepares for her new Up All Night: Live tour, JLo is reportedly dealing with deep insecurity and fear of failure. According to those in her inner circle, the superstar feels "tormented" by the possibility that her career is coming to an end, especially after a series of recent stumbles in the musical and film arenas, as well as in her love life.
The cancellation of several concerts on her North American tour, the limited success of her album 'This Is Me... Now' and the breakdown of her marriage to Ben Affleck have left JLo emotionally vulnerable. Although she is publicly enthusiastic, there are those who claim that the singer and actress is very upset and fears that the public has stopped loving her: "Jennifer says she's excited about the tour, but it's obvious she's full of doubts. She struggles to hide it," an insider told Radar Online. "Last year was a tough blow for her, and she hasn't stopped thinking about whether this comeback could end up sinking her career," concluded the person who asked to remain anonymous.
This perception is compounded by the pressure of seeing peers such as Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake face similar difficulties with low ticket sales and scathing reviews. "The economic climate doesn't help either. These big shows are not guaranteeing success," the source added.
To minimize risks, JLo has opted for a limited tour of only 17 concerts in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, regions where she still enjoys great popularity. "She hopes this tour will be a kind of therapy, an emotional boost she desperately needs," the insider explained.
Ben's shadow is also ever-present
Despite the separation, Jennifer still 'sighs' for Ben Affleck, which aggravates her anxiety. "She had dreamed of a life with him, but he left," the source noted. "Now she wants to lose herself on stage, away from it all".
Although determined to her, some close to her fear the pressure will be too much. "She repeats every detail of the rehearsals, she wants everything to be perfect. But there is fear that she will burn out before she starts," the informant concluded.
In the midst of the chaos, Jennifer Lopez faces a crossroads: to prove that she still has what it takes to shine or to accept that she is closing a chapter in her career.
