Jennifer Lopez is already spending time with her Office Romance co-star Brett Goldstein, 

as the two were seen enjoying a night on the town over the weekend. 

The 55-year-old actress and singer, along with the 44-year-old actor and writer, were photographed backstage at the Broadway play Oh, Mary! on Sunday, 

mingling with Hollywood icons Meryl Streep and Martin Short.

Dressed in a cream-colored blazer, Lopez posed for photos with the esteemed actors, flashing her signature smile while her highlighted hair was styled in a half-up look. 

Goldstein, known for his role in Ted Lasso, kept a lower profile in dark attire, standing slightly off to the side.

Supporting Their Co-Star

Lopez and Goldstein were attending the play to show support for their Office Romance co-star Betty Gilpin. The actress was also accompanied by her producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. Their public outing came just before the duo begins filming their highly anticipated romantic comedy Office Romance, which is set to start production in New Jersey this week.

Lopez is reportedly thrilled to be working with Goldstein, a multi-talented performer and writer. According to sources, the Hustlers star is eager to dive into the project, especially after a challenging start to 2025.

“After a very tough start to the year, Jennifer can’t wait to start a new project, and it certainly helps that she’ll be working with such a handsome and talented star like Brett,” an insider shared. “He is a class act—he not only acts but writes incredible scripts. She thinks he’s very charming.”

Brett Goldstein’s Admiration for Jennifer Lopez

Goldstein has been vocal about his admiration for Lopez long before they were cast together. The British actor previously expressed his admiration for her performance in Hustlers, calling it the “sexiest” film of the decade. On an episode of his podcast, Films To Be Buried With, he raved about her talent and star power, even admitting he “loves” her.

Discussing a memorable scene from the movie, Goldstein gushed, “There’s a scene on the roof, she’s sat in her big fur coat, and the girl, the new girl comes up and she’s shy, and Jennifer Lopez gives her a cuddle in a big fur coat, like cuddles her, and I thought, ‘I’ve never wanted to be cuddled more.’”

His admiration for Lopez has long been noted by fans, with social media users pointing out that he has frequently mentioned her as one of his Hollywood crushes. Now, with Office Romance, Goldstein gets the opportunity to work alongside the woman he has openly praised.

Ben Affleck’s Reaction to the Pairing

Lopez’s new film project comes at an interesting time in her personal life, as her former husband Ben Affleck was recently spotted spending time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Meanwhile, insiders suggest that Affleck is well aware of Goldstein and his admiration for Lopez.

“Ben knows who Brett is. He’s plenty aware,” a source claimed. “Brett is younger and smarter than Ben, and that’s bound to irk him a little.”

While Lopez remains focused on her career, her involvement with Goldstein in Office Romance serves as a reminder of her continued star power. “She’s 55 and still a box office dynamo,” the insider added. “This is just another way to prove that.”

Jennifer Lopez Prepares for ‘Office Romance’

On Friday, Lopez shared her excitement about the upcoming film on Instagram, posting a photo from a script read-through. “This is gonna be a fun one ✨ @Netflix Office Romance #NuyoricanProductions,” she captioned the post, hinting at her enthusiasm for the project.

The romantic comedy, directed by Ticket to Paradise filmmaker Ol Parker, is still keeping plot details under wraps. However, the film has already generated significant buzz, especially given the chemistry between Lopez and Goldstein.

Fans are eager to see the dynamic between the two stars, particularly given Goldstein’s well-documented admiration for Lopez. “Brett adores Jennifer Lopez, so I’m happy he’s getting to act with his crush!” one Reddit user commented.

What’s Next for Lopez and Goldstein?

As filming begins in New Jersey, Lopez and Goldstein are poised to bring their on-screen romance to life. The Netflix project marks another major milestone in Lopez’s career, reaffirming her status as one of Hollywood’s leading stars.

Goldstein, meanwhile, continues to build on his success following Ted Lasso, proving that he is more than just an actor—he’s a talented writer and filmmaker as well.

With fans eagerly anticipating their collaboration, Office Romance is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about romantic comedies of the year. And if Goldstein’s past comments are anything to go by, he couldn’t be more thrilled to be working alongside Lopez.
