Jennifer Lopez experienced a scare while preparing to host the American Music Awards due to a facial injury she sustained during rehearsals. The 55-year-old singer and actress took to Instagram to share the news, revealing a close-up image of her face with an ice pack on her swollen nose and eye. In a follow-up post, she disclosed that the injury required stitches and occurred during rehearsals for the awards ceremony.
Fortunately, celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond was nearby to provide medical assistance. In a later post, Jennifer shared updates about her recovery, expressing her gratitude towards Dr. Diamond for his help and showcasing her nearly healed appearance. She also shared a photo with the doctor, appearing happy and optimistic, with only minor discoloration visible on her nose.
Lopez is set to return as host of the AMAs, a decade after her last time at the helm, and has an impressive history with the awards, having performed more than ten times since her debut in 2001. This year, the ceremony will be broadcast live from the Fontainebleau luxury resort in Las Vegas on Memorial Day, May 26, at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT on CBS and Paramount+.
The AMAs event promises to bring an exciting celebration of music, and with Lopez’s remarkable comeback as host, fans can look forward to a spectacle. It’s heartening to see her resilience and swift recovery, demonstrating her dedication to delivering an unforgettable experience at the awards show.
