Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein may have taken their on-screen chemistry beyond their Netflix romantic comedy Office Romance. According to a report by Page Six, the former co-stars are seeing each other, although their relationship is currently "casual".
The pair, who previously denied dating rumours while promoting their film, were reportedly spotted arriving at and leaving a talent manager's party in Los Angeles on October 16. According to the report, they travelled in the same car but entered the venue separately. A source told Page Six that the two enjoy socialising and going out to parties and restaurants. The report has once again sparked speculation about their relationship, although neither actor has publicly confirmed that they are dating.
This is not the first time Lopez and Goldstein have been linked romantically. Earlier this year, Page Six reported that the pair had maintained a professional relationship while filming Office Romance, despite their apparent chemistry. They were also spotted attending a performance of the Broadway play Oh, Mary! together in March 2025, around the time filming for their Netflix film was getting underway.
Lopez added to the speculation during an October appearance on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, when she praised Goldstein's performance in their film. "I just did a movie with Brett Goldstein, and I'd say he was the best kisser," she said.
Goldstein, known for his role as Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, has also been a longtime admirer of Lopez. In a December 2019 episode of his podcast Films To Be Buried With, he praised her performance in Hustlers, expressing his admiration for the star.
Lopez and Goldstein had previously addressed speculation about their relationship during an appearance on the Today show on June 2, while promoting Office Romance. "There's never a time when I'm seen with somebody or working with somebody where they don't try to put me with the person," Lopez said. Goldstein responded, "I think if you stand near her, that's what happens."
When host Savannah Guthrie directly asked whether they were dating in real life, Lopez replied, "Not dating," with Goldstein adding, "Correct."
Lopez, 57, filed for divorce from actor Ben Affleck in August 2024, after two years of marriage. Goldstein, 46, has largely kept his personal life private, with actress Beth Rylance being among his previously reported relationships. For now, the latest report remains unconfirmed, with neither Lopez nor Goldstein publicly addressing the renewed speculation.
