00:03 Coming up, the real reason JLo and Ben failed the first time around.
00:07 >> It scared me.
00:08 It was very hard.
00:10 >> Why Ben had to leave the studio while Jen was recording, This Is Me Now.
00:14 [MUSIC]
00:20 >> Welcome back to Extra, everybody.
00:21 So it's the greatest love story never told until now.
00:26 >> Extra kind of had a front row seat to the mayhem of Ben for 20 years ago.
00:30 And as we all know, they didn't survive that scrutiny, but this is them now.
00:35 [MUSIC]
00:39 >> 20 years into making 20 million of her own money,
00:42 this is Jennifer's most personal project ever.
00:46 [MUSIC]
00:49 The new album, This Is Me Now, and her cinematic musical experience,
00:53 This Is Me Now, a love story.
00:55 >> I learned the hard way, not all love stories have a happy ending.
00:59 >> Loosely based on her own love story with Ben.
01:02 >> I put my whole heart and soul into it.
01:05 >> We've been with JLo throughout her hype tour,
01:07 from the Golden Globes to her LA premiere.
01:10 >> I think the people who kind of get the thing done are the ones who kind of
01:15 do it with the fear.
01:17 You just kind of have to do it afraid, like I say.
01:20 >> Jennifer was sizzling on stage at the Star Pact opening of the Lux,
01:24 one and only Zaa Abil Hotel in Dubai.
01:27 She's stunning in her sexy new Variety magazine cover shoot.
01:31 >> Looking back on it, I realized that what it was at that moment,
01:34 it was just a heartbreak.
01:36 >> And Jennifer is candid like never before in the new hour long confessional
01:41 Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe that just dropped.
01:44 We're breaking down three of the biggest revelations.
01:47 Starting with her breakup with Ben just three days before their wedding back in
01:51 2004.
01:52 >> I knew in my heart that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life.
01:56 I knew that, but it didn't feel like we were gonna make it.
02:01 And so it scared me.
02:03 It was very hard.
02:05 Then we went and we both found other people and had beautiful children and
02:08 had other families and even had other relationships after that.
02:13 And it wasn't until both of us had done, I know for me, a lot of work and
02:18 gotten to a place where I was like, you know what, I'm totally good on my own.
02:21 That's when he showed back up.
02:22 >> Yeah, you let go.
02:23 >> And funnily enough, he said he had had the same type of experience.
02:27 [MUSIC]
02:32 >> Jen calls Ben her soulmate.
02:34 And she told us her new album and
02:37 movie are inspired by her journey to reunite with her true love.
02:41 >> You are hopeless romantic.
02:42 >> Yes, I am.
02:43 But at the same time, there's things that you need to figure out.
02:47 And there's things for me on the journey that I needed to figure out.
02:51 And I think the cinematic original that we made,
02:54 this Amazon original is really about that part of it.
02:58 >> But the music part was tough on Ben.
03:01 Jen told Zayn the heartbreak in some of the lyrics was hard for
03:05 him to hear while she was recording This Is Me Now.
03:08 >> He would leave the studio and just be like, I can't, I can't.
03:12 This is too much for me to even think about that you feel this way or
03:17 that you felt that way.
03:20 Even though he pushed me to do those things, like look at this,
03:23 look at the pain, look at this.
03:25 Don't just make this record about all the happy, sunshiny hearts and
03:30 flowers, make it the other thing too, infuse it with that too.
03:35 >> Now happily married, Ben and Jen laugh off the constant cameras.
03:39 >> We do have fun with it and laugh with it because we feel very good about where
03:44 we are right now.
03:45 We have five kids, which is so much more important than any of the other.
03:48 >> Yeah. >> We want them to be good.
03:51 >> Do you ever feel that you have to sit them down and
03:54 remind them that it's not real?
03:57 What they're reading and what they're seeing?
03:58 >> Yes. >> Do they know you enough to know?
04:00 >> Yes. >> It's not real.
04:01 >> Yes, we try not to make it such a big thing in our house because their lives
04:05 are so much more than the fact that we're their parents in that way,
04:10 that we're famous.
04:11 And so we do it in ways that kind of just like, you know that's not.
04:15 >> Yeah. >> That's ridiculous, right?
04:16 They're like, no, we know, we know.
04:18 >> And we know this, JLo's putting it all out there in This Is Me Now,
04:22 a love story out now on Prime Video.
04:25 >> Whenever someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up,
04:31 my answer was always, in love.
