Jennifer Lopez and her Office Romance co-star Brett Goldstein reportedly shared a 'flirty energy' while filming Netflix's upcoming raunchy romantic comedy, with sources close to the production suggesting the on-screen chemistry has extended off-camera as well.

On-Screen and Off-Screen Chemistry

The 56-year-old actress and Goldstein, 45, share a kiss in the Netflix film, in which Lopez plays CEO Jackie Cruz, who falls for her employee Daniel Blanchflower. According to a source cited by people.com, 'Her flirty energy with Brett is genuine. She really likes him.'

Lopez herself has spoken warmly about her co-star, describing their connection as immediate. 'I expected more of a rough guy, but you get this kind, gentle but also very smart person that is so charming. That was a surprise, I think,' she said. A self-described fan of Goldstein's work as Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, she added: 'I was a huge fan of his from him doing Ted Lasso's Roy Kent. I thought he was going to be more like the character, but he was so soft-spoken and sweet and totally different.'

Lopez Says She Is Happily Single

Despite the reported off-set warmth, Lopez is said to be content as a single woman following her 2025 divorce from actor Ben Affleck, to whom she was married from August 2022 to August 2024. An insider told reports: 'Jennifer is in a great place on her own right now though and doesn't need a relationship to feel happy. She is enjoying her life as it is. She's busy with work, family and the people closest to her.'

Lopez shares 18-year-old twins Max Muñiz and Emme Maribel Muñiz with former husband Marc Anthony.

Lopez on Kissing Scenes and 'Great Chemistry'

The actress-singer acknowledged that filming kiss scenes still triggers nerves, even after decades in the industry. 'I've been doing this a long time. I want to say that I was fine, but it's always a thing. It's like, OK, I have to kiss this person that I don't know, and I'm just getting to know you. You get a little nervous, that's all,' she told People.com.

With Goldstein, however, she said the dynamic was different from the outset, citing 'great chemistry' from their very first meeting. In October 2025, Lopez went further, declaring Goldstein the 'best kisser' she has ever worked with on screen.

About Office Romance

Office Romance is an upcoming Netflix film described as a raunchy romantic comedy. It marks a notable project for Lopez as she navigates a personal reset post-divorce, and anticipation around the film has been amplified by the pair's evident rapport. Lopez has said she is 'excited for people to see the movie.'

Point of View

And it is worth noting the sourcing here relies on unnamed insiders cited by third-party outlets — not statements from Lopez or Goldstein directly. What is more substantive is Lopez's own candid quote about Goldstein being the best kisser she has worked with, and her clearly affectionate description of his personality. Coming off a high-profile divorce that played out very publicly, Lopez's narrative of a professional and personal reset around a new Netflix project is strategically coherent — whether or not the off-screen warmth amounts to anything more.
