Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein Deny Dating Rumors on Today While Promoting New Film

Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein shut down rumors that they are dating after Savannah Guthrie repeatedly pressed them on NBC’s Today while they promoted Netflix’s romantic comedy Office Romance. Lopez said that she’s “never” seen with someone or working with someone without speculation that they’re together, and she ultimately replied “not dating” when asked directly. Goldstein added that their closeness on set reflects their on-screen chemistry, recalling that their connection was immediate when they first met on Zoom. The co-stars also leaned into the idea that their believable chemistry—highlighted by Lopez’s “best onscreen kisser” remarks—has fueled fan speculation, despite their insistence it’s just work. Other reporting indicates Lopez’s flirty dynamic with Goldstein is genuine, but that she is not looking for a relationship and is currently single following her 2024 divorce from Ben Affleck.
During the on-air grilling, Lopez pushed back on Guthrie’s “that was not an answer” framing by citing other times she’s been romantically linked—saying, “Because all these people that they put me [with]… I think I was with Kevin Costner this year… It happens all the time. Doesn’t make it true.”
After the direct dating questions, Guthrie later admitted she had “misplaced” her notes and got “flustered,” prompting Lopez to respond, “You tried to fluster us, and we flustered you!”
The flirty rumor talk wasn’t limited to the studio: days earlier, Lopez and Goldstein posed at the Netflix film premiere with particularly close physical body language—Brett “held onto her waist,” while Lopez “linked onto his arm,” according to reporting.
In addition to denying dating, the co-stars also framed the chemistry as a product of their work and promoted the project: “Office Romance” (Lopez as a CEO who falls for Goldstein’s character, a lawyer) is set to hit Netflix on June 5.
A People source added that even if Lopez’s “flirty energy with Brett” is real, she is not seeking a relationship—describing her as “enjoying her life as it is” and “busy with work, family and the people closest to her.”
