Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez agreed to marry and live together forever.
But only one night before the wedding; The worst nightmare of her life happened.
In her childhood, she lived in a poor and dangerous neighborhood.
Her difficult upbringing was an obstacle to achieving her dream.
Her father rejected the idea of acting, and wanted her to become a lawyer.
But she disobeyed his orders, and after graduating from high school, she decided to pursue her
dream.
My mom and I did have a fight about it.
I said "No, you can't do this."
We had this huge fight.
We were kind of like, "You do this or you leave!"
You know, I was 18 years old, and I had nowhere to go.
After being kicked out of the house, Jennifer went to an acting and singing studio.
Can I sleep here, when everybody goes home?
On the couch, and they said OK.
Despite that, she did not give up, did not return to her family home, and decided to
continue on the path of her dream.
There is a time in all our lives when we want to get ahead.
When we have an ambition, we want to do more.
We want to succeed further.
And sometimes we hit a wall, and we don't know how to get past it.
It took Jennifer many years before producers were convinced of her as an actress.
You'll get rejected a lot.
You know, of the 40 something movies I've done, I've got a hundred NOs in between.
At that time, Ben Affleck was the rising star who was adored by the public.
He won an Oscar for the first movie he wrote.
He and Jennifer developed a strong love story, and they were the most famous lovers in the
world.
Ben Affleck even formally asked her to marry him, and they arranged the wedding.
But one night before the wedding, a quarrel broke out between the two.
She had to postpone the marriage, and after a while Ben Affleck broke up with her.
It is said that the reason is Ben Affleck's fear that getting married and having children
will affect his acting career.
You think people are, in your heart, when you see them, you love them,
is different than when they reveal it later.
Jennifer went into episodes of depression because of what happened, but the bad things
didn't end here.
Many in the audience began to question her talent, and that she was not fit to be a famous
star.
She's just a pretty face, whatever they were saying about me,
I started to thinking, yes that is true, And it really hurt me for a long time.
Jennifer realized that she had to forget the past and start over.
Because if she surrenders to the opinions of others, she will collapse and will never
be able to rise again.
Indeed, Jennifer met a new person, married him, and started her own family.
That person was singer-songwriter Marc Anthony.
Here is what changed in my life.
I gave them birth, and the kids honestly just gave me a new direction,
They just made me realize what was real and what was not real.
They just changed everything.
I started thinking about life in a different way,
Like I said, I started to asking more questions of myself, of love,
And what was right, what was wrong, That was because I wanted their lives to be
great too.
And I knew for their lives to be great, mine had to be great, too.
And I needed to fix something.
But few years later, they were divorced.
Jennifer has learned that she can achieve anything if she can believe in herself.
I always thought that I was going to find happiness and love out,
Another person was going to give that to me.
And then I realized that this is not how it all is.
Like you actually get to be happy on yourself, you know, if you can just appreciate yourself
and know your worth and value She began to return to fulfill her old dream
after she was able to stabilize her life.
Her acting talent was recognized when she was nominated for an Academy Award.
Support one another, and tell your stories, and remember: "No is not an answer, it is
an opportunity."
But then a miracle happened, that everyone thought was beyond their imagination.

2005.
Then the spark of old love began to ignite again.
