Jennifer Lopez fans were left beside themselves following the release of her new Amazon Prime documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told.

The emotional documentary recounts stories of Jennifer's colourful love life as she goes about creating her This Is Me Now: A Love Story.

This Is Me... Now, which is airing exclusively on Amazon Prime, details Jennifer's past relationships and marriages in avant-garde fashion and stars a number of famous faces.

In the documentary, J.Lo, 54, shares raw and emotional insights into her relationship with Ben, 51, at one point breaking down in tears as she describes how "moving" it is having Ben bring out her real self.

Ben is equally as candid in the documentary, admitting he initially didn't want their reconciled relationship to be "all over Instagram": ahead of realising it "wasn't fair" for him to ask that.

He also indirectly touches on his past battles with alcoholism, sharing how you realise "there isn't enough alcohol in the liquor store" to make you happy and he thinks J.Lo is the same when it comes to "followers" and movie deals, and she had to reconcile that within herself.

Viewers were blown away by the raw emotion and candour displayed in the documentary, and rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts.

One social networker remarked: "Watching @JLo’s The Greatest Love Story Never Told…man, I needed a short emotional break…this is HEAVY…especially seeing Ben interviewing her??" While another continued: "Just finished #TheGreatestLoveStoryNeverTold just thank you @jlo thank you for putting your whole heart out there! I cried, I laughed, I smiled I felt every single emotion with you, I feel so close to you! Being scared and doing it anyway is something we all should do, that’s where magic can form and this doc, this album, this movie, this musical experience the whole experience shows that! You followed your heart, you had your story to share, you did it and created something so beautiful, raw, vulnerable, pure and relatable! I’m so proud of you @JLo."

And another shared: "Y’all #TheGreatestLoveStoryNeverTold was so good had me laughing to crying every other scene."

In This Is Me Now: A Love Story, acting talents such as Keke Palmer and Jane Fonda, who worked with Jen on 2005 film Monster-In-Law, star as different star signs, as Jen dates different men with different signs, as she desperately tries to find her match.

Another scene sees Jennifer trying to mend her broken heart in a factory, before spontaneously breaking out into an expertly- choreographed dance segment.

Other famous faces include Fat Joe, who J.Lo famously collaborated with on 2005 track, Hold You Down. Joe stars as Jennifer's therapist in the film.

Speaking about what it was like working on the project, Joe told EXTRA: "It was a beautiful opportunity" and he described J.Lo as his "sister".
