'I'd Never Fallen Out of Love': Everything Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Said About Their Romance in Her Documentary

To mark the pair’s second wedding anniversary on Tuesday, July 16, PEOPLE is looking back on everything the couple said about each other in Lopez’s Prime Video documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

In the documentary, which the “Waiting for Tonight” singer released alongside This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, fans got a behind-the-scenes look at the making of her ambitious cinematic project. The documentary includes interviews with her inner circle, collaborators and Affleck.

Here’s everything the couple, who is currently navigating a new chapter in their marriage and spending time part, said about each other in the documentary, which premiered in February.

Early on in the documentary, Lopez’s idea to create a project that delved in her love story with the Hypnotic actor was met with resistance from her inner circle.

Still choosing to follow her heart, Lopez explains that though Affleck has never been one to be open about his private life, he supported her artistic expression.

“I don’t think he’s very comfortable with me doing all of this but he loves me, he knows I’m an artist and he’s going to support me in every way he can,” Lopez, 54, says in the doc. “He doesn’t want to stop me… But that doesn’t mean he’s comfortable being the muse.”

Affleck, 51, adds, “Jen is really inspired by this experience which is how artists do their work. They get inspired, their personal life, it moves you. I know as a writer and director, I certainly do the same things. But things that are private, I’d always felt are sacred and special because, in part, they’re private. So this was something of an adjustment for me.”

At the very end of the documentary, it all comes full circle when Affleck realizes that the documentary wasn’t about him necessarily — it was about Lopez’s journey to self-love.

“I don’t really love being in the making-of documentary about my personal life, which is why I’m relieved that… it seems like I might be in this but I’m not really. I was worrying for no reason,” he says. “The movie wasn’t about me. It was about the ability to love yourself and that love story is a lot f—ing harder to find than Prince Charming.”
