00:00 ♪ This is my hairbrush song ♪

00:03 And remember when Taylor invited J.Lo on stage

00:06 at her Red Tour back in 2013?

00:08 ♪ I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block ♪

00:10 J.Lo now says Taylor was among the many stars

00:13 to turn down a cameo in her This Is Me Now,

00:15 a love story musical experience.

00:17 Taylor Swift is a no.

00:26 When an actor doesn't like a script

00:28 or doesn't think it's good enough,

00:29 that's what they'll say.

00:31 I know that.

00:32 I've done it.

00:32 But despite all the no's, J.Lo said yes to herself.

00:36 ♪ Hot talk, yeah, back it up ♪

00:38 For better or for worse, I've always followed my heart

00:41 and I would never put anybody out there

00:43 in a bad light in any way.

00:46 Last night, J.Lo spoke exclusively to ET

00:48 at a special screening for the greatest love story

00:50 never told in the Prime Video doc streaming now.

00:53 Ben goes on camera and on the record

00:56 about what led to their 2003 split.

00:58 When Shen and I broke up,

01:01 for a catalyst for that was this scrutiny

01:04 around our private life.

01:06 We had like a big wedding planned three days before.

01:09 We just crumbled under the pressure.

01:11 For Ben, as we got back together,

01:13 I don't think he ever thought it would lead

01:15 to all of this film and doc and all that kind of stuff,

01:18 but he embraced it as well and said,

01:21 "I'm gonna support you."

01:23 Getting back together, I said,

01:24 "Listen, one of the things I don't want

01:26 "is a relationship on social media."

01:29 Then I sort of realized it's not a fair thing to ask.

01:33 It's sort of like, you know,

01:35 you're gonna marry a boat captain

01:37 and you go, "Why don't I like the water?"

01:39 Ben is now Jen's biggest champion,

01:41 especially in those moments she's feeling insecure.

01:44 You can't look back?

01:45 Because you're used to seeing me around the house

01:49 kind of schleppy and my striped socks.

01:52 We're not going for the, I'm not pretty,

01:54 you know, this (beep) is crazy.

01:54 I'm not saying I'm not pretty,

01:55 I'm saying you're used to seeing me

01:57 kind of like the little old lady at home.

01:59 You're gorgeous and that's what I'm used to.

02:01 When somebody loves you in that way,

02:03 they just want you to fly.

02:06 (dramatic music)

02:08 (music fades)
