Earlier this summer, Lopez said she was in Washington, D.C., for her \"It's My Party\" tour with fiance Alex Rodriguez, and they had the pleasure of meeting Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

\"I admire her so much for all the things she's done, standing up for minorities and women and fighting for justice in this country, but also for her marriage,\" Lopez said. So she asked RBG for some wisdom on the topic.

\"I was there with Alex [Rodriguez] and I was like, 'What's the secret?'\" Lopez said. \"She was just like, 'Sometimes it just helps to be a little bit deaf -- if you hear an unkind word, let it go.' It was super wise.\"

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone... This was definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done physically. But it was all worth it in the end. 🍸💰✨

It's no question J.Lo has incredible dance skills, but she said the training to pole dance in just six weeks for her role was tough.

\"You never know until you walk into somebody else's shoes what it's really like,\" she explained. \"It was very acrobatic, it's like Cirque du Soleil.\"

She continued, \"My core was on fire and I literally had bruises all over my legs -- just trying to learn this in a short amount of time.\"
