Jennifer Lopez has shared a cheeky photo of herself working naked in the bath as friends raise concerns that her heavy workload could cause burnout.
The 57-year-old singer and actress looked relaxed as she reclined in a rolltop tub while typing on her laptop, which was perched on a bath rack with the screen blurred out.
Facing away from the camera with her brunette locks swept up into a bun, the star offered a glimpse of her bare back during her soak in her expansive bathroom, which features large open windows and an idyllic view.

A table of luxury bath products from brands including British perfume house Jo Malone sat behind her, with Lopez captioning the post, "Today's office." Many fans commented on how "dreamy" her temporary setup appeared.
Lucrative deals and upcoming projects
The bath time work session comes amid reports that friends are concerned the performer is taking on too much work, fearing history could repeat itself following a nervous breakdown she suffered in 2002.
The Daily Mail learned that the mother of two will be the new face of Italian luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana in an eye-popping $20 million (£14.7 million) deal.
In addition to the fashion contract, Lopez has been planning an international world tour for next year and busy acting and promoting two film projects.
Those movies include The JLo Show, a documentary centered on her recent Las Vegas music residency in Nevada, and the upcoming crime thriller The Last Mrs Parrish.
Coping with personal life changes
Insiders revealed that her intense work schedule is a way of coping with major life changes, including her painful divorce from actor Ben Affleck and her twins Max and Oskar, formerly known as Emme, moving away to college.
"She is working her tail off because she wants to stay busy, though there is some concern she may burn out," an insider revealed. "But this it is how she stays sane during this weird time in her life."
The source added that while it is an emotional period for Lopez, she finds comfort in nonstop work while her career continues to thrive.
"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," the insider said. "For her, working is better than staying at home eating takeout from Nobu alone in front of the TV."
The source noted that she prefers waking up at 5am for a 14-hour workday without complaining, though warned: "But one day she may wake up completely exhausted."
A source told the Daily Mail that another reason Lopez is pushing herself so hard is that she has sworn off men following her split from Affleck, preferring to focus entirely on her professional commitments.
History of exhaustion and breakdown
The concerns from friends stem from past events in Lopez's career, when an intense workload led to a severe physical and mental collapse.
Lopez previously revealed that she reached breaking point in 2002 while filming the thriller Enough, directed by Michael Apted, in which she played an abused wife attempting to escape with her young daughter.
In a 2008 interview with The Daily Telegraph, Lopez detailed how overwork caught up with her: "There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things... I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown."
Describing the incident, Lopez explained: "I froze up on set. Well, not on a set, but in my trailer... I was like - I don't want to move, I don't want to talk, I don't want to do anything. It was on that movie, Enough. Yeah, I did. I had a nervous breakdown."
