For the moment, the source describes the relationship as “casual.” Lopez, 57, and Goldstein, 46, have previously denied that they were dating, but their latest outing has placed their connection back in the spotlight.

According to the source, Lopez and Goldstein share an enthusiasm for being social. “The one thing they have in common is they both enjoy going out to parties and restaurants,” the source said.

The insider also drew a pointed comparison between Goldstein and Lopez’s former husband, Ben Affleck. “Unlike her ex Ben [Affleck], who always had a scowl on his face when they were out.”
The latest report follows months of speculation surrounding the pop superstar and the “Ted Lasso” actor. Their time working together on “Office Romance” had already attracted attention because of their apparent connection.
Earlier this summer, Page Six exclusively stated that Lopez and Goldstein “kept things professional on set while filming, but their chemistry was undeniable.” Filming for the Netflix movie began in April 2025.
Even before production started, Lopez and Goldstein had been seen spending time together. The two attended a Broadway performance of “Oh, Mary!” in March 2025, one month before filming on their movie began.

Lopez later offered a particularly memorable assessment of her costar’s romantic skills. During an October appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” she told host Andy Cohen, “I just did a movie with Brett Goldstein, and I’d say he was the best kisser.”
Goldstein’s admiration for Lopez also predates their work on “Office Romance.” During a December 2019 episode of his “Films To Be Buried With” podcast, he praised her performance in “Hustlers” and reacted enthusiastically to her age at the time.
“F–king hell. Fifty!” Goldstein exclaimed during the episode. “She’s 50. I love her.”
Despite the mounting interest in their chemistry, both stars previously dismissed the romance rumors while promoting their movie in an interview on “Today.” Lopez said that speculation frequently follows whenever she is seen or works with someone.
“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 noted. Goldstein responded, “I think if you stand near her, that’s what happens.”

Savannah Guthrie then asked the pair directly, “OK, so you’re not dating in real life?” Lopez answered, “Not dating,” while Goldstein added, “Correct.”
Those denials now stand in contrast with the source’s claim that their relationship has become casual. Representatives for Lopez and Goldstein did not return a request for comment about the latest report.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage. Goldstein’s only public romance was with actress Beth Rylance in 2021.
For Lopez and Goldstein, the reported relationship arrives after their professional chemistry generated repeated questions about what might be happening away from the cameras.
Their shared party arrival and departure have now added another chapter to speculation that began around “Office Romance.”
