As one of the world's most famous women, Jennifer Lopez is never far from the headlines. After finalising her divorce from Ben Affleck in January this year, lots of people are speculating whether Lopez could be dating again.

Most recently, people were quick to notice that the on-set vibes between Lopez and one of her co-stars were undeniably cute. Last week, she was spotted linking arms with her co-star Brett Goldstein during filming for the new Netflix rom-com Office Romance.

Naturally, social media went into a frenzy after seeing the pictures, with users noting that there was 'chemistry' between the two of them. The pictures came after a source told The Daily Mail: 'After a very tough start to 2025, Jennifer can’t wait to start a new project and it certainly helps that she will be working with a very handsome and smart star like Brett. He is one hot ticket and a real class act with talent to back it up—he not only acts but he writes amazing scripts. He is like the younger, better, British version of Ben. She thinks he is very cute. Ben knows who Brett is, he is plenty aware. Brett is younger and smarter than Ben. It will irk him for sure.'

Who is Brett Goldstein?

Brett is an actor, writer, podcaster and comedian - so he has many strings to his bow. Brett is best known for his role as Roy Kent in the Apple TV+ sports comedy series Ted Lasso. Brett was born in London, and he attended Warwick University and graduated with a degree in film studies. He later moved to New York to study acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts until 2003.

Brett has previously spoken about how he 'always, always, always' knew he wanted to be in entertainment, and that he previously wanted to be a stuntman. 'I wanted to be a stuntman first, and I used to pretend to be Indiana Jones and jump off roofs and slide under garage doors. I was 29 at the time,' he told PEOPLE in 2021.

How old is Brett Goldstein?

Brett was born on 17 July 1980, making him 44 years old.

Who has Brett Goldstein dated?

Brett tends to keep personal matters away from the public eye. However, in 2021 Brett confirmed he was dating comedian Beth Rylance, when he gave her an adorable mention at the Emmy Awards, when he won an Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for his role as Roy Kent on Ted Lasso.

'I was very, very specifically told I'm not allowed to swear, so this speech is going to be f---ing short,' he said, 'Beth, I love you.' However, in August 2022 it was reported that the pair had split up, with The Mirror reporting that they had unfollowed each other on social media. Work obligations were cited as the reason. A source close to the actor told The Sun (via The Mirror), 'They're both in exciting times in their careers and really busy and they just couldn't make it work.'
