Fans of pop superstar Jennifer Lopez were stunned when news broke earlier that the singer broke down in tears while performing on stage in Connecticut. Though many have assumed that Lopez’s tears were due to her heartbreaking divorce from Marc Anthony, the singer is reportedly claiming that she cried because of a photo of her kids, not Anthony.
While onstage at the Mohegan Sun Arena in on Oct. 22, Lopez performed the emotionally-driven song “Until It Beats No More,” while female dancers dressed as the Latin stunner throughout the years, danced with her male backup dancers who were dressed as her famous exes Diddy, Chris Judd and Ben Affleck. But it was apparently when a feaux Marc Anthony hit the stage, that the waterworks began for J. Lo.
“I took a trip down memory lane,” said an emotional J. Lo, before running off stage in tears.
Though it appeared that the string of heartbreaks brought the singer to tears, TMZ is reporting that J. Lo is telling friends that it wasn’t the memory of her exes that caused her breakdown, but instead a photo of her and and her 3-year-old twins, Max and Emma, that appeared on the jumbo-tron during the performance.
Sources claim that the photo, which was shot for a Gucci Kids campaign last fall, holds strong sentimental value for Lopez and pushed the already emotional singer over the edge during the show. –nicholas robinson
