‘Office Romance’ Star Jennifer Lopez Addresses Brett Goldstein Dating Rumors on ‘Today’

Jennifer Lopez has addressed the recent rumors linking her romantically to her ‘Office Romance’ co-star Brett Goldstein. During her appearance on the Today show on June 2, the actress and singer directly tackled the speculation, making it clear that there is no real-life romance between them.

Lopez and Goldstein were on the NBC morning program to promote their upcoming romantic comedy ‘Office Romance’. Co-host Savannah Guthrie brought up the dating rumors that have been circulating in entertainment media.

Lopez laughed off the topic, explaining that such speculation often follows her. She remarked, “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.”

Goldstein joined in on the fun, suggesting that people assume anyone near Lopez must be dating her. He quipped, “I think if you stand near her, that’s what happens.” He added, “That’s why I’ve been standing so close this whole time.”

The playful banter elicited laughs, but Guthrie pressed for a more definitive answer. She told Lopez, “Okay, but I’ll just say, because I’m me and you know me. That was not an answer.”

Lopez disagreed, pointing out that she has been linked to various people over the years without any truth behind those stories. She responded, “That was not an answer? It was an answer! Because all these people that they put me, I think I was with Kevin Costner this year. I was with … there was a lot of people. It happens all the time. Doesn’t make it true.”

When Guthrie directly asked if they were dating in real life, Lopez simply stated, “Not dating,” to which Goldstein quickly affirmed, “Correct.”

The conversation remained lighthearted throughout the interview. At one point, Guthrie admitted she had misplaced her notes and joked that Lopez had distracted her. Lopez laughed and teased the host about seeming flustered. Guthrie agreed, saying, “I did, I got flustered. It’s you, Jennifer!”

Lopez responded with another joke, saying, “You tried to fluster us, and we flustered you!” Guthrie laughed and concurred, “And I became flustered. It’s not fair!”

Lopez and Goldstein had previously avoided giving direct answers regarding their relationship. Their chemistry while promoting ‘Office Romance’ led many fans to speculate if there was more than friendship between them.

However, a source who spoke to PEOPLE last month indicated that Lopez is currently content with her life and not focused on finding a new relationship. The source explained, “Her flirty energy with Brett is genuine. She really likes him.” Nonetheless, it was added that Lopez is enjoying her independence and does not feel the need for a relationship to be happy.

The source also mentioned that Lopez is focused on her career, family, and those closest to her. Following her divorce from Ben Affleck, finalized in January 2025, she seems to be prioritizing work and personal happiness over romance.

For now, both Lopez and Goldstein have made it clear that, despite the rumors, they are not a couple. According to their comments on the Today show, their relationship remains professional and friendly.
