Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein are back at the center of dating speculation, months after shutting down rumors about a relationship.
The "Office Romance" costars lit up screens with their "Office Romance" in the June Netflix film, though rumors are circulating following a Page Six report that they're in a "casual" relationship.
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for both actors for a comment.
Despite the speculation, Lopez already denied dating Goldstein previously.
Lopez and Goldstein addressed questions about their relationship during a June 2 "Today" appearance with Savannah Guthrie, while the pair promoted their Netflix romantic comedy.
When Guthrie raised the possibility of
an offscreen romance, Lopez pushed back on assumptions about her love life, explaining that she is routinely linked to men she works with or is seen alongside.
"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 told Guthrie.
Goldstein chimed in and said, "I think if you stand near her, that's what happened," and joked that he's been intentionally standing close to Lopez for that reason.
Depite Guthrie's pushback, Lopez stood firm in her answer and said a rumor "doesn't make it true."
Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein teamed up for 'Office Romance'
In Netflix's"Office Romance," Lopez plays airline CEO Jackie Cruz, who falls for a lawyer at her company, Daniel Blanchflower, played by Goldstein. Ol Parker directed the film, which Goldstein wrote with Joe Kelly.
The collaborators developed the idea during a three-hour train ride and had Lopez in mind as their ideal romantic comedy lead. Goldstein shared details about the conversation with host Krista Smith on the "Skip Intro" podcast.
"[Joe and I] were like, 'We love rom-coms – really good, old school rom-coms.' We feel like we haven't seen one for a while that was really banging and good and we were like, 'We should write one, but make it hard jokes,'" Goldstein said. "We were like, 'Who’s the best rom-com actor to do it with?' We both were like, 'JLo.' … She's got industrial levels of charm."
In a September 2025 interview with USA TODAY, Goldstein recalled the paparazzi attention surrounding their "Office Romance" shoot in Hoboken, New Jersey. "The shoot was a dream," he said, but described filming outdoors as "a nightmare" because of the photographers.
"I thought, 'If [Lopez and I] make another film together, I'm going to keep all the scenes indoors," he said as a joke. "There will be no exterior shots."
Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage. The former couple finalized their divorce in 2025. Their on-and-off relationship spanned more than two decades: They first got engaged in 2002, split in 2004 and reunited in 2021 before marrying the following year.
During their years apart, Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in 2004. They welcomed twins Max and Emme, 18, in 2008 before getting divorced in 2014.
Goldstein previously dated British actress and comedian Beth Rylance, though the pair have since split, according to People. He publicly confirmed their relationship during his 2021 Emmys acceptance speech, telling her, "Beth, I love you." He has never been married.
