Jennifer Lopez is making headlines once again—this time, for her rumored connection with British actor Brett Goldstein. Following her split from Ben Affleck, Lopez has been spotted cozying up to her new Office Romance co-star, sparking speculation that she’s already moved on.
Sources suggest that Lopez’s chemistry with Goldstein is undeniable, and some insiders even believe her new “friendship” might be a subtle jab at Affleck, who has been spending more time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein’s On-Set Sparks
Lopez, 55, is set to star alongside Goldstein, 44, in Netflix’s upcoming rom-com Office Romance. While the film hasn’t started shooting yet, insiders claim the two are already hitting it off.
An industry source revealed that Lopez is excited about working with Goldstein and that the pair has great chemistry. With Affleck reportedly rekindling his bond with Garner, some believe Lopez’s budding connection with Goldstein might have a hint of “revenge romance” behind it.
Goldstein, best known for his Emmy-winning role in Ted Lasso, has been vocal about his admiration for Lopez for years. During a past interview, he admitted he had a major crush on the pop star and even gushed over her performance in Hustlers.
“She’s 50! I love her!” Goldstein said at the time, praising Lopez’s talent and ageless beauty. Now, years later, the actor finds himself working closely with the woman he once admired from afar.
Ben Affleck Leans on Jennifer Garner After Split From Lopez
While Lopez appears to be moving forward, Affleck has reportedly been pulling back. According to sources, the Batman actor, 52, has been ignoring Lopez’s calls and texts in recent weeks, frustrated by what he sees as subtle jabs aimed at him on social media.
On Valentine’s Day, Lopez posted a cryptic message about “self-love,” which many fans interpreted as a dig at Affleck. Meanwhile, Affleck has been spending more time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their three children—Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13.
Insiders claim that Affleck and Garner’s relationship has grown stronger since his split from Lopez, leading some to speculate that the former spouses could be rekindling their romance.
Affleck and Garner were married for 13 years before divorcing in 2018. While they’ve remained close for the sake of their children, recent reports suggest they’ve been leaning on each other more in recent months.
As Lopez prepares to film her new movie in New Jersey, Affleck’s focus appears to be on his family. Whether Lopez and Goldstein’s on-screen chemistry turns into something more remains to be seen, but for now, it looks like both exes are charting separate paths.
