New York singer Jennifer Lopez is facing online criticism for “casually” dating her co-star Brett Goldstein.
Jennifer Lopez and British actor Brett Goldstein starred together in the 2026 Netflix romantic comedy Office Romance. Lopez plays Jackie Cruz, the CEO of an airline, while Goldstein portrays Daniel Blanchflower, a lawyer working for the company. The film follows the two workaholics as they develop romantic feelings for each other despite workplace restrictions on relationships. Goldstein also co-wrote the screenplay with Joe Kelly. Their on-screen chemistry attracted attention during filming and promotion, prompting speculation about a possible real-life romance.
Page Six reported that Lopez and Goldstein are currently seeing each other, although a source told the publication that their relationship remains “casual.” Both stars have previously denied dating each other.
Fueling the dating rumors, Lopez and Goldstein were reportedly seen arriving at and leaving a talent manager’s party in Los Angeles on October 16. The two allegedly traveled in the same car but entered the event separately.
“The one thing they have in common is they both enjoy going out to parties and restaurants. Unlike her ex Ben [Affleck] who always had a scowl on his face when they were out,” the source said.
Lopez’s romantic relationships have frequently attracted intense media attention, particularly her highly publicized relationship with Ben Affleck. The pair first dated in the early 2000s before rekindling their romance in 2021 and marrying in 2022. However, Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, and their divorce was finalized in February 2025. Throughout their relationship, reports and speculation about their marriage regularly made headlines.
Now, reports that Lopez is “casually” dating her Office Romance co-star have once again placed her personal life under the spotlight. However, neither Lopez nor Goldstein has confirmed the reported relationship.
