The 31-year-old model stayed up late just to meet the 'On the Floor' hitmaker after one of her last concerts and she even "broke a cardinal rule" when she caught a glimpse of her pop idol sitting with her boyfriend Alex Rodriguez.

She told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "Of course, I went to the after party, I wanted to meet her oh-so badly. So I waited up really late because I'm not a night person, I'm a morning girl, but I was like, 'I'm gonna meet JLo', and I broke a cardinal rule.

"I don't like it when people come up to me when I'm eating, and I don't want to go up to a celebrity when they're eating, but she was eating and it was late and I needed to go.

"So I went up and sat next to her while she was eating next to A-Rod, and I just said, 'Hi, I'm Ashley Graham, it's so nice to meet you. Thank you so much for having me tonight.' And she goes, 'Oh hi it's nice to meet you.' "

And Ashley quickly went from being worried about bothering the 'Shades of Blue' actress to bombarding her with requests.

She continued: "And I say, 'First of all, I have a podcast, it's called Pretty Big Deal and actually Kim Kardashian was just on it, and we were talking about you and how you've just been body goals for us, you know I'm a curvy girl, you're a curvy girl, she's a curvy girl, so hi, would you like to be on it? Oh, can we take a selfie.' Then click click click.

"And she's like, 'Just have fun, have fun tonight.' And I'm like, 'I'm gonna. Thank you.' "
