Jennifer LopezJennifer Lopez is sharing a touching moment with one of her fans!
The singer and actress, 55, appeared on the Nov. 8 episode of the The Graham Norton Show, where she had an emotional reunion with a fan she had met the day before the show was filmed.
The surprise reunion came after Lopez, who was in the U.K. promoting her new film Unstoppable, discussed the cancellation of her This Is Me... Live tour in May and recalled a sweet interaction she’d had the previous day.
“I would like to apologize to the fans, because I know a lot of them were coming out,” she said on the show. “I actually saw fans here who told me, this was actually very touching, coming out of the hotel yesterday they were like, ‘oh I had tickets to go see you,’ and I was like, ‘I'm so sorry’ and he was like, ‘don't say sorry. We love you.’ I started crying right away."
A man from the audience then shouted to Lopez that he was the fan she had spoken with the previous day, to which she responded, “Was that you?! Oh my god,” while pointing over to him.

Lopez then got up from her seat, walked over to the fan and hugged him, appearing emotional as they embraced as the fan appeared to reassure her some more.
After hugging, Lopez told him, “I got in the car and literally cried. Honestly, it was very hard for me to cancel and I've never done that before. I’m sorry.”
The fan told her, “I understand, JLo we understand,” as Lopez replied, “Okay, good.” The pair embraced a final time before Lopez returned to her seat.
“I love my fans, oh my god,” she added.
