While the majority of A-list celebrities prefer to keep the ins and outs of their love lives under wraps, Jennifer Lopez is apparently an open book - and proud.

In a preview for her upcoming documentary - The Greatest Love Story Never Told - the singer made a revelation about her on-off relationship and subsequent marriage to actor hubby Ben Affleck.

According to Variety - who obtained the preview - the upcoming Amazon Prime special sees 54-year-old J Lo meeting up with her songwriting team and fellow musicians to discuss inspiration for her latest work.

As opposed to simply telling them about the adoration that she and Affleck, 51, have shared since they first dated in the early noughties, she opted to show them...

Inviting her team over to her and Affleck's home, J.Lo went on to give them exclusive access to a collection of heart-warming love letters that he'd sent to her through the years, which she'd in turn used as inspiration for her album, This Is Me... Now.

The library of letters written by Affleck - whom Lopez rekindled her relationship with in 2021 after 17 years apart - were titled 'The Greatest Love Story Never Told'.

The 'On The Floor' singer has previously hinted at the existence of these sweet gestures, but had remained tight-lipped about their contents until now.

In the preview, she could be seen holding up one of the letters, which was dated all the way back to 2002, on which Affleck had written an equally adorable note.

He'd written: "Life’s tough but you’re sweet. Thanks for the gift. Hope you like the flowers. You told me you could never have enough. I believe you."

While J.Lo's management team were understandably delighted that she'd given them a never-before-seen glimpse into their fairytale romance, Affleck himself seemingly wasn't over the moon by his wife's revelation.

According to the publication, the documentary sees Affleck - who shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner - walking in on the pack of songwriters ravaging their way through his written works.

He is then seen telling viewers: "I did really find the beauty and the poetry and the irony in the fact that it’s the greatest love story never told.

"If you’re making a record about it, that seems kind of like telling it."

Sounds like J.Lo has some grovelling to do...
