Jennifer Lopez Shares Photos of Severe Facial Injury From AMAs Rehearsals
Jennifer Lopez suffered a facial injury while rehearsing for the upcoming 2025 American Music Awards. The 'Love Don't Cost a Thing' singer took to her Instagram Stories in the late hours of Tuesday, May 13, to share photos taken one week prior that captured the extent of the incident. Sharing a snap of herself holding an ice pack to her right eye, Lopez, 55, wrote, 'So this happened…' before posting a second image that revealed a swollen nose and cut that ran across it. Her right eye also appeared to be bruised, with Lopez captioning the photo, '(During @amas rehearsals).' The second image also showed redness under Lopez's right eye and over her right cheek. Jennifer Lopez's Ageless Moments Through the Years A third Story confirmed that the musician required stitches to aid her recovery, with Lopez sharing a photo of herself with a Beverly Hills-based facial plastic surgeon and captioning it, 'Thank you for stitching me up Dr. Diamond. A week later and a whole lotta ice, I'm good as new.' In the final photo, Lopez is smiling at the camera without a single flaw in sight, seemingly on the mend and putting the incident behind her as she focuses on her hosting role at the 2025 AMAs, set to be broadcast from Las Vegas on Memorial Day. This is not Lopez's first AMAs-related health incident. In 2009, she suffered bruising following a fall while performing at the event. Addressing the fall on the Ellen Show later, she told host Ellen Degeneres that she was "messed up" from the accident and suffered a "bruised bone." While she didn't specify which bone she injured, Lopez explained how the mishap went down. 'One of the dancer's backs was slippery from sweat and lights and everything," Lopez recalled of her bare-chested crew at the time. 'We never bargained for that, because they always had t-shirts on in rehearsal. So they were barebacked, didn't have shirts on for the performance and when I stepped on their backs my feet got wet. So when I landed it just slipped from under me.' In addition to fulfilling her second-time hosting duties, Lopez is scheduled to perform at this year's May 26 event. According to Billboard, Lopez is only the fourth music artist in history to host the AMAs twice, following Lionel Richie, Diana Ross and Pitbull. Prior to her new injury Stories, Lopez had kept a continuing stream of AMAs promotional videos flowing via the social media platform. On April 23, after news of her hosting gig went public, Lopez shared a promotional image via her Instagram grid, captioning the teaser post, 'Waiting for AMAs night ✨💚.'
