Jennifer Lopez recently sustained a nasty facial injury while rehearsing for the 2025 American Music Awards.
The On the Floor hitmaker posted a selfie on her Instagram Stories that showed her with an ice pack covering her nose and right eye and cryptically teased, „So… this happened.“
The multi-hyphenate, who is hosting and performing at the annual music awards show later this month, swiftly shared another photo of her face without the ice pack, revealing a nasty gash on her nose.
She added, „During @amas rehearsals.“
In a follow-up post, Lopez revealed that her cut was severe enough to require stitches. She shared another snap of herself with celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond after he treated her busted nose.
„Thank you for stitching me up Dr Diamond. A week later and a whole lotta ice and I’m good as new,“ she wrote underneath the photo.
The Love Don’t Cost a Thing singer has less than two weeks to recover from the injury before she takes to the stage at the BleauLive Theater in Las Vegas on Monday 26 May. The ceremony takes place 10 years after she first emceed the event in 2015.
„We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lopez back to host the American Music Awards,“ Jay Penske, the CEO of Dick Clark Productions, said in a statement last month. „Jennifer’s incredible talent and incomparable stage presence make her the ideal host of the show. We know she will bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the official kick off celebration of summer.“
In addition to Lopez, this year’s performers also include Janet Jackson, who will accept the Icon Award during the ceremony.
Kendrick Lamar leads the nominees with 10 nods, followed by Post Malone with eight.
