Jennifer Lopez looked slightly tense as she checked her phone on a late night outing in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The singer, 55, was being driven through the city by a male pal after she recently returned from Saudia Arabia where she performed at an event in Riyadh. 

The On The Floor hitmaker wore her blonde locks in a ponytail and dressed casually in a light blue shirt. 

Jennifer returned to LA earlier that day after taking to the stage at a glamorous Elie Saab event in the Middle East.     

This comes after Lopez hailed cancelling her 2024 summer tour ‘the best thing she’d ever done’.

The singer-and-actress pulled the plug on her ‘This Is Me…Live’ shows just weeks before they were due to begin in June.

Though she has apologized to fans, she doesn’t regret taking a break from work to spend quality time with her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme – who she has with ex-husband Marc Anthony – amid the breakdown of her marriage to Ben Affleck.

Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, she said: ‘I took the summer off to be home with the kids, which is the best thing I have ever done.

‘It was not like me to do that, so I always want to apologise to the fans.’

The ‘On the Floor’ hitmaker told how she’d had an emotional encounter with a fan the day before who told her she didn’t need to say sorry for the cancellation.

She said: ‘Actually, something very touching happened when I was coming out of the H๏τel yesterday. 

‘A fan came up to me and said, ‘I had tickets to come and see you.’ When I apologised, he said, ‘Don’t say sorry we love you.’ I started crying straight away.’

The stunned ‘Unstoppable’ star was then told that, by coincidence, the fan in question was in the audience for the show.

Offering a hug and another apology, Jennifer told him: ‘Was that you? I don’t believe it.’

Jennifer recently spoke about cancelling her This Is Me… Now tour, saying: ‘I took the summer off to be home with the kids, which is the best thing I have ever done’ 

When she announced the cancellation of the tour, the ‘Jenny From the Block’ hitmaker admitted the decision had left her feeling ‘completely heartsick’.

In a Live Nation newsletter, she wrote at the time: ‘I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.

‘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 …’
