  "textContent": "Rumours have been swirling online that JLo and Brett are an item (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nJennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein have addressed the rumours that they are dating in no uncertain terms.\n\nThe actors, who coincidentally star in Netflix’s upcoming rom-com, Office Romance, have been plagued with speculation that their relationship has transitioned from strictly professional to romantic.\n\nHowever, in a joint interview with Savannah Guthrie on The Today Show, both JLo and Brett confirmed they’re not together.\n\nIn fact, Jennifer went one step further — likely to squash any future dating rumours — and revealed to the host that she’s ‘not dating’ at all.\n\nJennifer joked: ‘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.’\n\n##  Get personalised updates on all things Netflix\n\nWake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro’s TV Newsletter.\n\nSign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we’ll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you.\n\nSavannah interjected, admitting that JLo’s observation was ‘true.’\n\nBrett then weighed in on the discussion, teasing that ‘if you stand near her, that’s what happens.’\n\nSavannah jumped back in and joked to Brett that ‘that’s what you wish would happen.’\n\nThe pair have an on-screen spark in Netflix’s new film, Office Romance (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nThe Ted Lasso star — who rarely shares insights into his off-screen love life, although it’s reported that he’s single — played on the comment. He said in a light-hearted manner: ‘Yeah, that’s why I’ve been standing so close this whole time.’\n\nSavannah then got a little more serious, trying to prise a ‘real’ answer out of JLo, who officially finalised her divorce and became legally single from Ben Affleck in January 2025.\n\nThe host pressed: ‘Okay, but I’ll just say, because I’m me and you know me. That was not an answer.’\n\nJennifer then swiftly came back with: ‘That was not an answer? It was an answer. Because all these people that they put me [with], 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.’\n\nThe conversation finally became more frank, with JLo stating they were ‘not dating,’ to which Brett replied: ‘Correct.’\n\nJLo and Ben Affleck split for good in 2024 (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nJennifer and ex-husband Ben Affleck officially separated in April 2024. The duo, who were affectionately nicknamed ‘Bennifer,’ finally made it down the aisle after 20 years in July 2022, having rekindled their romance in May 2021.\n\nThe couple first got together in 2002 after meeting on the set of Gigli, and they got engaged shortly after.\n\nBut they delayed their wedding in 2003 and broke up in 2004. JLo attributed the breakup to Ben’s discomfort with the media’s scrutiny of their relationship.\n\nAs for Brett, we know that he’s very tight-lipped about his personal life. His only confirmed, public relationship was with British comedian Beth Rylance. However, the couple only dated for a short while, from 2021 to 2022.\n\nBrett is currently thought to be single (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nIt’s not hard to see why some fans have put a Jennifer and Brett ‘romance’ on their 2026 bingo cards (in jest, of course). Especially when you look at their chemistry in Office Romance.\n\nIn the film, JLo plays Jackie, President and CEO of Air Cruz, a high-flying career woman who has a strict anti-fraternisation policy for all her employees.\n\nIn true rom-com style, an unexpected love interest soon enters the room, which compromises Jackie’s policy. In this case, it’s in the form of Brett’s character, a ‘sexy new lawyer who begins working for her.’\n\n**_Office Romance drops on Netflix on Friday, June 5.\n_**\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
