Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez and the new Brett Goldstein rumours have become the sort of Hollywood subplot that writes itself, but the latest claims are still just that claims. Reports published this spring say Affleck has privately backed Lopez's reported connection with her Office Romance co-star, while Lopez has publicly praised Goldstein's chemistry with her as the film heads to Netflix on 5 June.
Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on 20 August 2024 and the split was later finalised in January 2025, ending a marriage that had begun with a reunion many fans thought would outlast the usual Hollywood cycle. The pair also spent months working through property issues tied to their Beverly Hills home, with later reports in April saying Affleck had relinquished his share of the mansion to Lopez.
