-Jennifer Lopez, oh, my goodness!
How are you?
-I'm good, baby. I'm good.
-You look great, and I recognize that yard
from your amazing concert when you --
-Yeah. -You sang "People."
-Yes, I'm right by the tree over here.
That's right. -Yeah.
-Very good, yes. -Thank you, I'm very observant.
I'm like a detective. -That's right.
Yeah, we all did that together, that's right.
-How about you singing "People?" I was like,
"Ooh, she's going for it." -Yeah, you know what?
You know, Barbra Streisand's like my idol.
She was my mom's idol. -Yeah.
-And so my mom passed that on to me.
So, I know all her songs.
You know, it's like when you're growing up
and you sing just those songs.
So, that was just like one of my songs that I always sang
that I never got to sing anywhere.
And it just felt perfect for the moment, so...
-It was. It was great. And I heard that Barbra
commented on your Instagram.
-She did! She did. I was like -- yeah.
I was -- I was super stoked.
Honestly, I was blown away.
And actually, we are represented by the same publicist.
So he even wrote me, which I didn't tell anybody.
She was like, "She really loved 'People.'
She said that was very pretty."
[ Laughter ] So, thank you.
-She's a class act. -I'll take it.
-She's so fun. Have you ever met her
or hung out with her? -I've met her a couple of times.
Yeah, I've met her a couple of times.
-She's so fun. -Yeah, she's very sweet.
You know, always, you know, I'm always a little starstruck.
And when I first met her, it was way back
when I was at an Oscar party.
And I was dating Ben, so we were in the tabloids all the time.
It was like a lot of craziness at that time.
She said, "You know, how do you do it?
How do you handle the fame?"
I'm like -- Barbra Streisand. [ Laughter ]
-Thank you for doing TikTok challenge.
I'm just -- I'm out of it. -Yeah.
-I don't know how to dance. I just can't do it.
If I could, I would. I can't, so I don't.
[ Laughter ]
-You can try.
-What is TikTok for you?
Do you play with it at all?
-I do. I fool around with it. I like it.
The kids are obsessed with it.
So, it's in the house all the time.
We -- obviously, I'm a big dancer anyway.
I'm always, you know, when I'm working, rehearsing in the house
and stuff like that.
So, I love that they're into TikTok.
And you know, whenever they see me, I'm always like,
"Find me a good one to do," and we find it together
and we play around with it.
And you know, we did -- I make Alex do them
every once in a while. He's like, "What am I doing?"
-I know, he's so funny.
-But the girls are so excited so he gets into it, you know?
-Well, we just saw Charli D'Amelio
had your sweatshirt on.
She's obviously a giant TikTok star.
But she's a bigger, super-duper fan of yours,
and you were so cool to her.
She said that when she met you, it was like --
it was like her biggest dream come true.
And that you -- I was like, that's a perfect person to meet
because she was probably amazing, right?"
She's goes, "She was beyond amazing."
You left a big mark. -She came down to my Super Bowl
rehearsal right in the last week before we did the Super Bowl.
And, honestly, the girls knew her more than I did.
My kids knew her more than I did.
And you know, "This is Charli, she's a big TikTok-er."
I was like, great. Yeah, bring her down.
She's into dance.
And we did on the floor challenge.
But she said to me -- she gave me a big hug,
and when I started hugging her she cried and she goes,
"You're on the top of my vision board."
[ Laughter ]
Oh, my God. It so moved my heart.
-Come on. -I have a place in my heart
for Charlie. -That is the best.
Yeah, she's -- -She's a sweetheart
and a really good dancer too.
-What has this all been like for you?
Because honestly, every time I see you,
you're doing three jobs at once.
I think it was the last time I saw you,
you were finishing, you just finished your amazing
halftime show, which I've already told you was insane,
like flawless, flawless. -It was --
-Flawless. -Thank you.
-And at one point I was yelling at the screen going,
"Stop! You won. [ Laughter ]
Stop! Don't even risk it!
Just stop! Just end it and walk away."
And then you did more. And I go -- [ Gasps ]
You're really going for it. You're raising the bar, man.
You crushed it.
And then you started doing a movie right after.
-No, this is what happened.
After the Super Bowl, I came to see you.
And then I started "World of Dance."
And I had that for a couple of weeks.
And then I was going to have off.
Remember I told you, I said, "I think I'm going to
take some time off."
-But you can't turn your brain off though, right?
You can't turn... -Oh, no, no, no, no.
-...J. Lo off. -No.
You know, I got to do the "People" thing.
So it was like, okay, performance at the house,
get the lights from the Christmas lights
out on the trees.
Let's get some candles. -Yeah, I saw it all.
I loved it. Yes.
-You know, we started producing back here.
You know, we have other little projects.
Also, we're in post on "Marry Me" right now.
So we're finishing that.
They've been editing that on zoom.
-Are you filming scenes? -...episodes, all of it.
Oh, we filmed a scene at the house.
-Through Zoom? -A pickup scene.
Yes, through Zoom. It was crazy. It was crazy.
-How?
-It was not the ideal way to make films.
You don't want to do it.
But I was here, and Maluma was in Colombia,
and we were doing this pickup scene that we had to do.
And it was like 30 people on Zoom watching.
-Oh.
-And, like, the kids helping with the slate.
-Yeah, isn't that funny? -Yeah, I don't mind it.
-You don't mind. -Listen, I've been
making the best of it.
We've been making the best of it.
There's been some really, you know, scary anxiety-filled time.
You know, uncertainty, all of that.
But I'm also realizing a lot of things, you know.
I'm realizing, you know what, I didn't call my mom every day.
I'll need to call her every day even when this is over
because I've been speaking to her every single day.
-Lupe. -Yes, Lupe.
-I love your mom. Hi, Mom, I love you!
-She's got her thing in Atlantic City, you know.
And I'm out, you know, working and we don't connect
like that all the time.
Now we're connecting all the time.
And I was like, when this is over and we get back to work,
whatever that new normal is, I want to keep that going.
You know, I want us to sit down and have dinner together.
The kids are always in their room, and doing this,
and their homework and their after-school activities.
And we set a time where we're like, every night at 7:30,
we're sitting down and we're having dinner.
-Yeah. -And I love it.
And I was like, you know, there's certain things
that I've discovered during this time
that I definitely want to keep going.
So in that sense, it's been a blessing.
-There was a whole thing that went on Instagram
because you posted a photo of you in the gym,
which I loved because you're promoting, look,
got to get out there, got to do something,
work out, do something.
But then, in the corner of your thing,
people were frightened because there was a man behind you
in the window with his mouth, a hand over like --
-That was a Zoom.
So imagine, you know, I'm back there working out
'cause where we have the Zoom set up is right by our garage.
And we didn't have a gym in the house.
So, we just got a bunch of like --
we got a bench and a few weights.
And I have my rehearsal mirrors back there
for dance rehearsal, which I always did in the house,
in the garage. And so now --
-There's a man behind you like this!
-Yeah. He's like -- I don't know what he was doing,
if he was sneezing or coughing.
But it was just like -- -Who was it?
-It was some real estate guy that Alex was on Zoom with.
I don't know. [ Laughter ]
But yeah, but we've been working out a lot.
