Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein are reportedly spending time together off-screen after months of romance speculation. A new report claims the pair’s casual relationship has already prompted comparisons with Lopez’s ex-husband, Ben Affleck.

According to Page Six, sources said Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein are “casually” dating after starring together in Netflix’s “Office Romance.” The two were recently spotted arriving separately at a talent manager’s party in Los Angeles before reportedly leaving together.
An insider claimed Lopez and Goldstein share similar interests when it comes to socializing. “The one thing they have in common is they both enjoy going out to parties and restaurants,” the source said. The insider then took a swipe at Ben Affleck, adding that he “always had a scowl on his face” during public outings with Lopez.
Dating rumors surrounding Lopez and Goldstein have circulated for months. Earlier this year, reports indicated that the pair kept things professional while filming the upcoming movie “Office Romance.” However, insiders claimed their chemistry was noticeable behind the scenes.
The actors also fueled speculation during the movie’s promotional tour. Lopez previously told Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” that Goldstein was her “best kisser” among her co-stars. Meanwhile, Goldstein has long praised Lopez’s work, previously calling her performance in “Hustlers” impressive during a 2019 podcast appearance.
Still, both stars denied they were romantically involved during a joint appearance on NBC’s “Today.” When asked directly whether they were dating, Lopez replied, “Not dating.” Goldstein agreed, saying, “Correct.”
Neither Lopez nor Goldstein has publicly commented on the latest report. Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage. Goldstein’s last publicly known relationship was with actress Beth Rylance in 2021.
