Recent reports have intensified speculation about a possible romantic connection between Jennifer Lopez and her co-star Brett Goldstein from the film “Office Romance.” Despite ongoing rumors, insiders maintain that their relationship remains professional, even as public appearances and playful interview exchanges have fueled fan interest.

Ben Affleck’s perspective on Lopez’s personal life

An insider revealed that Affleck genuinely hopes Lopez can start a fresh chapter in her life. The “Gone Girl” actor reportedly feels a heavy emotional burden from their breakup and would experience less guilt if Lopez found love again. The source told Globe Magazine, “[Ben] truly feels awful that he couldn’t be that person for her,” adding that seeing Lopez happy with someone else could “take a lot of guilt off his shoulders.”

The rumors about Lopez and Goldstein emerged as they continue to promote their upcoming Netflix romantic comedy, “Office Romance.” Initial speculation began after they were seen together at a Broadway event in New York City. Later reports indicated that they appeared particularly close at the film’s wrap party, where insiders claimed they spent much of the evening side by side.

Interest among fans grew further when Lopez jokingly called Goldstein the “best kisser” she had worked with during interviews about the movie. Despite this, another insider emphasized that no actual romantic relationship exists between them. According to this source, Lopez and Goldstein are simply leveraging public attention to build excitement for the film’s release.

Regarding Affleck’s stance, sources say he is prepared to move on completely. One insider stated, “It’s no secret Ben is trying to wash his hands of her,” and added, “In his view, the faster [Lopez] can find happiness with someone else, the better.”
