Paying tribute to Ben, 51, and fighting back tears, J-Lo shared: “What he said and what he saw in me, and what he made me believe about myself, only comes from love. Because nobody else could have made me see that about myself. It’s very moving.”

She added: “Because I didn’t think much about myself and so the world didn’t think much of me. That lined up.”

The superstar went on to explain how Ben was the muse for her independently produced album, This Is Me… Then, and that she had crew read out Ben’s love letters to her during the process.

Jen admitted Ben felt “uncomfortable” about being thrust back in the limelight and being at the centre of her documentary.

She said: “I don’t think [Ben] is very comfortable with me doing all of this.

“But he loves me, he knows I’m an artist, and he’s gonna support me in every way he can because he knows you can’t stop me from making the music I made… he doesn’t want to stop me. But that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable being the muse.”

Ben and Jennifer — nicknamed Bennifer —became Hollywood’s It Couple when they got together in 2002 after starring together in that year’s romcom, Gigli.

They split in 2004 before rekindling their relationship back in May 2022 before getting hitched in a lavish £1m wedding months later.

Speaking about the reunion, Jen said: “We’re totally different people now and we’re the same and we have the same love 100 percent.

“Like I’d never fallen out of love with you. I had to just put it over here.”
