Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein attended the premiere of their new Netflix film, "Office Romance," held on Tuesday at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. The event featured a British-themed after-party with traditional elements such as fish and chips and models dressed as the King’s Guard. Lopez mingled with guests as some of her well-known songs played in the background.
Goldstein, who co-wrote and stars in the film alongside Lopez, spoke about the origin of the project during the event. He explained that the film was conceived as a classic romantic comedy, with Lopez as the sole choice for the lead role. "It’s a list with one name. If you say no, we’re not going to make it," he recalled telling her. Lopez ultimately agreed to participate, a decision Goldstein described humorously as feeling "like some sort of mad fantasy." The pair’s on-screen chemistry has been noted as particularly strong, with Netflix film executive Dan Lin describing it as “magnetic,” while joking that the film might inspire workplace romances.
The romantic comedy, which is scheduled to be released on Netflix on June 5, has also sparked speculation about a possible off-screen relationship between the two stars. According to various reports, Lopez and Goldstein were rumored to have grown close during filming, with some sources describing their connection as “electric” and suggesting that a romance developed while on set. Observers at the film’s wrap party in the Dominican Republic reportedly saw the duo intimately interacting, leading to widespread speculation.
At the premiere, their interactions drew attention, with Goldstein demonstrating chivalrous behavior toward Lopez, including escorting her as they arrived. In interviews, both have complimented each other, with Goldstein rating Lopez’s on-screen kissing as “12 out of 10,” in response to Lopez calling him the best kisser she has worked with— a list that includes high-profile actors such as Ben Affleck and George Clooney. Goldstein said that praise felt “better than winning an Emmy.”
Despite these public displays of affection and the ongoing rumors, some caution that such behavior may be part of the film’s promotional efforts. Industry observers note that it is common for actors to project on-screen relationships into real life during publicity tours, referencing previous high-profile instances where perceived romances were later downplayed or redefined.
Brett Goldstein, best known for his role as Roy Kent on the hit series “Ted Lasso,” is 11 years younger than Lopez and has been reportedly single since 2022. His British background and demeanor have been highlighted as appealing to Lopez, who is noted to appreciate his charm and wit. Nonetheless, with no official confirmation from either party, the status of their relationship remains speculative.
"Office Romance" marks a significant collaboration between Lopez and Goldstein, combining his writing and acting talents with her established status in the romantic comedy genre. The film’s reception and the chemistry between the leads are expected to be key talking points when it becomes available to viewers next month.
