Jennifer Lopez recently shared a photograph of herself working while in a bathtub, a move that comes as friends voice concerns about her intensive workload potentially leading to burnout. The image, posted on social media, shows Lopez reclining in a large bathtub with a laptop on a bath rack, her hair swept up.

Captioning the photo, Lopez wrote, "Today's office." The star's temporary workspace was situated in a spacious bathroom with large windows offering a scenic view, complemented by luxury bath products. Fans reacted to the image, with many describing her setup as "dreamy."

Sources close to Lopez have reportedly expressed concern that her current pace is reminiscent of a previous period of intense work that led to a breakdown. The singer, 57, has reportedly secured a $20 million deal with Dolce & Gabbana, is planning a world tour, and is involved in promoting two films: "The JLo Show," focusing on her Las Vegas residency, and the crime thriller "The Last Mrs. Parrish."

Insiders suggest that Lopez is working extensively to stay busy, with one source telling the Daily Mail, "She is working her tail off because she wants to stay busy, though there is some concern she may burn out. But this is how she stays sane during this weird time in her life."

Friends are said to be concerned that her workload is giving echoes of the nervous breakdown she suffered in 2002 and are desperate to avoid history repeating itself [pictured in 2025]

These professional commitments come at a time of significant personal change for Lopez, including her divorce from Ben Affleck and her twins, Max and Emme, preparing for college. A source indicated that work provides comfort during this emotional period, stating, "It's not an easy time for Jennifer, there are a lot of changes, it's very emotional, but she finds comfort in working nonstop, which is great because her career is still doing very well."

The source added that Lopez is driven and prefers to maintain a high level of activity, saying, "She just works, works, works! She likes to be a workaholic, she is incredibly driven, a typical Type-A Leo who wants to never be out of the spotlight... For her, working is better than staying at home eating takeout from Nobu alone in front of the TV. She would rather wake up at 5 a.m. and put in a 14-hour day and never complain. But one day she may wake up completely exhausted."

Lopez has previously spoken about reaching a breaking point in 2002, experiencing what she described as a "nervous breakdown" due to an overwhelming schedule while filming the thriller "Enough." In a 2008 interview, she recalled a period of intense work across music and film, suffering from sleep deprivation and freezing up in her trailer, unable to move or speak.
