The songstress said: ‘I love public displays of romance, I don’t know if I would love a proposal, I think that that’s a more intimate thing between two people.
‘But I have no problem with PDA, like people say, I actually, I’m all about it! [laughs], if you really feel it.
‘I do think that a proposal is kind of a sacred intimate thing, that should just be between two people, when you’re about to pledge your lives to each other, that’s a big deal.’

J-Lo was plugging her new movie Marry Me. She stars as pop star Kat Valdez who accepts a fan’s proposal on stage after discovering fiancé Bastian has been cheating on her.
Elsewhere in the interview, the singer said while she likes packing on the PDA with Ben on the red carpet, she appreciates the quiet times they can spend together away from the spotlight.
She said: ‘I think it’s always nice when it’s just making it about you, and the person you want to be with, those are those times when it’s not about like the big public thing.
‘It’s just about two people connecting, going away taking walks, being somewhere, for me, being in the public eye, being somewhere where there’s not going to be a lot of cameras, where we can kind of trick the paparazzi and just have a quiet beautiful moment together, where we just get to be regular people and talk about life and be together and enjoy each other’s company, that to me is very romantic.’

Earlier this month, Jennifer gushed over her ‘second chance at love’ with Ben as she reflected on their rocky relationship path.
Famously dubbed ‘Bennifer’, Ben and Jen dated from 2002 and 2004 but went on to marry different partners and have children in the 17 years that passed – but ended up gravitating back to one another.
In an interview with People magazine, Jennifer said: ‘I feel so lucky and happy and proud to be with him. It’s a beautiful love story that we got a second chance.’
The Get Right hitmaker also insisted that things are different between the pair second time around, as they ‘don’t take each other for granted’, explaining, ‘there’s more of an appreciation and a celebration’.
Jennifer went on to touch on the struggles that Ben has overcome, saying ‘I’m so proud of the him, I’m so proud of the man he’s become that I’ve watched from afar. Being honest with each other, being loving, that’s just the basis of everything.’
