Between “This Is Me… Now: A Love Story” and one other latest Prime Video project, “The Best Love Story Never Told” — Jennifer Lopez has been getting plenty of affection from some famous friends.
The star-studded short film “This Is Me… Now” featured everyone from previous co-stars Jane Fonda and Keke Palmer to Trevor Noah and Post Malone.
Now comes “The Best Love Story Told” — a documentary concerning the making of Lopez’s latest album “This Is Me… Now” — the recently released sequel to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then” — and its companion short film, which premieres at 7 p.m. on Prime Video Monday.
And — holy “Gigli”! — this one features the special guest closest to Lopez’s heart: husband Ben Affleck.
But there was one celeb who didn’t need to hop on Jenny’s block — “Within the Heights” star Anthony Ramos — out of his loyalty to Lopez’s third husband, Marc Anthony.
“Anthony Ramos was going to do that,” Lopez, 54, tells wardrobe supervisor Shawn “Beezy” Barton during a rehearsal captured within the documentary.
“He was going to do the ‘Rebound’ number with me,” she continues, referencing a song from her latest album. “And he was like, ‘Ah, I’m friends with Marc.’ ”
The song that appears midway through “This Is Me… Now” seemingly addresses being in a rebound relationship. And wouldn’t you understand it: Lopez wed Anthony — the daddy of her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme — in 2004, only one yr after her first engagement to Affleck was famously called off in 2003.
The doc then depicts Lopez calling Ramos and saying, “I didn’t know that you simply and Marc were good friends. I didn’t know that. That’s nice.”
She then goes on to guarantee Ramos — who co-starred with Anthony within the 2021 big-screen adaptation of “Within the Heights” — that she would never call out “the daddy of my kids” like that.
“I’m never going to do anything that’s going to essentially pinpoint him out,” says J.Lo, who’s producing the upcoming “Bob the Builder” Mattel movie starring Ramos.
Ramos, though, stayed true to the bro code, responding: “Yeah, I just think that folks are going to think that … You already know how the media is.”
But Lopez — who was also turned down by the likes of Taylor Swift, Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge, Lizzo and Ariana Grande for various reasons — stood behind her creative vision.
“I said, ‘But when we only did our art interested by what the media’s going to say, what the f–k are we doing?’”
