00:00 "We put all this together." "We didn't." "I don't know 'we' about it. I don't f**king
00:05 'we' about anything." Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are so in love.
00:11 "I'm still in love with you, boy."
00:19 "We have primes, ultra primes." "Oh, this is your fantasy truck."
00:24 "This is a Zeiss compact suit. This is a Harry's suit."
00:27 "This is the older compact Conjuner suit, right?"
00:30 "These are really great. The 70s, they're light, handheld."
00:35 "I don't care."
00:37 "Under pressure."
00:41 "You think I look fat?" "I'm just kidding."
00:45 "What can I tell you? We're just having a good time."
00:48 Fans getting a glimpse of the couple's relationship in her new doc,
00:52 The Greatest Love Story Never Told, now streaming on Prime Video.
00:57 "I did really find the beauty and the poetry and the irony in the fact that it's the greatest love story
01:04 never told, and if you're making a record about it, that seems kind of like telling it."
01:13 "It's so funny because we collaborate very well together, you know, and nobody knows my story more than he does."
01:21 "You're used to seeing me around the house kind of schleppy and kind of in sweatpants and my striped socks."
01:29 "I'm not pretty in all this bulls---."
01:31 "I'm not saying I'm not pretty, I'm saying you're used to seeing me kind of like the little old lady at home."
01:36 "You're gorgeous and that's what I'm used to. But what I'm saying is..."
01:40 "And then when I get up and start dancing, you're like, 'Oh, right, I forgot she could dance.'"
01:45 The doc goes behind the scenes during the making of her new album, This Is Me Now,
01:50 inspired by their rekindled romance.
01:53 "On that first day, I showed everybody this book."
01:58 "This book is a book that Betty gave me on our first Christmas back together."
02:02 "It is every letter and every email that we wrote to each other from 20 years ago and today."
02:08 "It became like our Bible and we just left it there in the studio and people would thumb through it."
02:13 "They're like, 'Can we look at it?' I was like, 'Look at it.'"
02:15 "First off, who does that? This guy gets boyfriend of the year as far as I'm concerned."
02:21 And get this, Ben got a nickname in the studio because of his sweet gift.
02:27 "You've been showing all the musicians all those letters that, 'Ah.'"
02:34 "And they were like, 'Yeah, we call you Pen Aflac.'"
02:36 "And I was like, 'Oh my God.'"
02:38 "You know, this project was something I didn't really plan."
02:42 "It was really inspiration, like being inspired to make music for the first time like that in 20 years."
02:50 "So you can imagine what the inciting incident was."
02:54 Along with the album, J.Lo dropped a musical experience.
02:58 "This Is Me Now," a love story.
03:01 Ben, Oscar-winning actor and producer, by her side through it all.
03:05 "She still got her beauty, her booty, and her bank account, so bye boy to him."
03:09 "Papi, this isn't about me and you. Papi, take that out."
03:14 "No, this is real."
03:15 "That is not part of the script."
03:17 "We were able to kind of sit down and really, you know, dig into it in a way I don't think any other writer could have done with me."
03:26 "And you felt safe."
03:27 "Oh yeah."
03:28 Safe, but also not afraid to poke fun at her.
03:31 "I love that you want to play younger even in the autobiographical."
03:35 "This is not my autobiographical. This is meta."
03:37 "This is me using some of my story."
03:40 "Semi-autobiographical. It's your story, but younger."
03:45 "You're going to get it."
03:48 Jen reveals she was nervous to put out the cinematic experience, but Ben, he kept her head up.
03:54 "I have good intentions with this. I just don't want it to suck."
03:57 "No, you're scared."
03:58 "But I think right now it just sucks."
04:00 "No, it doesn't suck. That's the wrong one."
04:02 "Yes, it does."
04:03 "That's wrong. That's just inexperience. That you haven't done this process before."
04:07 "I'm sorry that I'm not your winning director. I'm sorry."
04:11 "If I was doing a musical concert, if I was in a rock show, I would say to you, 'Tell me how this goes.'"
04:19 Overall, it seems the lovebirds had a great time working together.
04:23 "That was really, really funny, man. I loved it."
04:32 "Thank you so much. When are you guys doing another film together? The last one was Jiggly, right?"
04:36 "Yes."
04:37 "That's right. Exactly."
04:38 "Yeah."
04:39 "It was Jiggly."
04:40 "That's why we haven't done one together."
04:41 "For sure."
04:42 "We're going to do one one day."
04:44 "It's going to be an exciting year. I'm really, really, really, I haven't been this kind of like, you know, like on edge about a project in many, many years."
