01:45 dedicated to the couple's love story.
01:48 - When Ben and I got back together,
01:50 I was very, very inspired, and when I think about,
01:52 I was like, the same way "This Is Me"
01:54 then captured that moment in time without me realizing it,
01:57 the first time we kind of fell in love,
01:59 I wanted to capture this moment in time.

02:30 He was watching me make the music and was kind of stunned,
02:34 like, oh my God, you're in there making music every day.
02:36 I don't think he ever thought it would lead
02:38 to this kind of film and doc and all that kind of stuff,
02:42 but he embraced it as well and saw it happening.
02:46 And again, kind of very in from a natural organic way said,

03:03 the most important thing in life, family.
