Lopez tour cancellation fuels pregnancy rumours

Singer Jennifer Lopez is expecting her first child with husband Marc Anthony, according to media reports in the US.

Lopez appeared at the ALMA Awards in Los Angeles on May 7, sporting what appeared to be a small bump and telltale grey roots.

The following day, the star abruptly cancelled her first concert tour without explanation, further fuelling rumours of a pregnancy.

Sources tell US publication In Touch the Latino star is three months pregnant and that the baby will be born around Christmas.

Anthony spoke publicly of having a baby with Lopez at the event saying, “I'm looking forward to starting a family.”

Lopez was scheduled to tour this month, with dates in Bombay, Dubai, Moscow, Sofia, Bulgaria, Istanbul, and Thessaloniki in Greece.

The singer has been threatened with legal action by the tour's promoters, who have promised to issue full refunds to ticket holders.

“Whatever the reason is, she should have explained it,” says Bulgarian promoter Nina Girginova. “Even if she had lied it would have been better than not giving the fans any reason at all.”
