Jennifer Lopez Shows Off Busted Nose Suffered During AMAs Rehearsals: ‘So This Happened…’

Jennifer Lopez is known for giving her all. But it looks like she might have given too much during rehearsals for her upcoming gig hosting the 2025 American Music Awards. On Tuesday (May 13), the singer/actress posted a series of pictures on her Instagram Story chronicling a nasty workplace injury she suffered during walk-throughs for the show.

In the first one, a smiling Lopez, 55, is holding an ice pack to the right side of her face with the caption reading, “So this happened…” The next image reveals the extent of the damage, with Lopez sitting in her car with a small cut clearly visible on the bridge of her puffy nose and the explanation, “During @amas rehearsals.”

The third slide featured a patched-up JLo standing next to Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Jason B. Diamond, with her nose looking no worse for the wear. “Thank you for stitching me up Dr. Diamond,” she wrote. “A week later and a whole lotta ice, I’m good as new.” At press time Lopez had not revealed how she she suffered the injury.

Lopez will host the 2025 AMAs from the Fountainbleau Las Vegas on Memorial Day (May 26). In her second go-round hosting the event — she first hosted in 2015 — Lopez will also perform on this year’s show; she is just the fourth music artist to solo-host the AMAs twice, following Lionel Richie (1984-85), Diana Ross (1986-87) and Pitbull (2013-14).

Tickets are available now on Ticketmaster, with fan voting open via VoteAMAs.com and the @AMAs Instagram profile in all award categories. Voting closes on Thursday (May 15), at 11:59 p.m. PT, with the exception of collaboration of the year and social song of the year, which will remain open through the first 30 minutes of the AMAs broadcast.

The 51st AMAs will air live coast-to-coast at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and stream on Paramount+ in the U.S.
