Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein recently addressed dating rumours during a lively appearance on NBC’s ‘Today’ show on 2 June 2026. The pair, who star together in the upcoming film ‘Office Romance’, faced a barrage of questions about their off-screen relationship, particularly from co-host Savannah Guthrie.

During the interview, Guthrie playfully pressed Lopez and Goldstein about the speculations surrounding their intimacy. Lopez, known for her seasoned charm, was quick to dismiss the gossip. “There’s never a time when I’m seen with somebody or working with somebody where they don’t try to put me with the person,” she remarked, laughing at the constant media scrutiny. Goldstein, 45, chimed in with a witty retort, claiming his close proximity to Lopez was an intentional strategy to attract similar rumours.
Guthrie, determined to clarify the situation, challenged Lopez’s assertion. “Okay, but I’ll just say, because I’m me and you know me. That was not an answer,” she stated, probing for a more definitive response. Lopez, however, stood her ground, interrupting to reiterate her point, “It happens all the time. Doesn’t make it true.” The banter continued as Guthrie pressed for confirmation, leading Lopez to emphatically declare, “Not dating,” a sentiment echoed by Goldstein.
As the interview progressed, the atmosphere lightened significantly, particularly when Guthrie admitted to feeling flustered while handling her questions. In response to Lopez’s playful teasing about her personal effect, Guthrie conceded, “I did, I got flustered. It’s you, Jennifer!” This exchange showcased the chemistry and jovial rapport between the trio, all the while keeping the focus on the film’s promotion.
The relationship status of Lopez has attracted considerable attention, especially following her divorce from actor Ben Affleck in January 2025. The couple’s marriage had rekindled a previous romance but was short-lived, lasting only two years. A source revealed to PEOPLE that Lopez has been focusing on her work and family life since the separation, emphasising her independence and contentment without the need for a new relationship.
This increased scrutiny around Lopez’s social interactions is not new. Throughout her career, she has frequently faced speculation about her romantic life, particularly when working closely with male co-stars. The interview underscored how the media’s fascination with her personal life often overshadows her professional achievements.
Despite the playful jibes and light-hearted atmosphere of the interview, Lopez made it clear that she is currently prioritising her career and family. According to insiders, while her connection with Goldstein appears genuine and the chemistry on screen is palpable, Lopez remains in a place where she does not need to pursue another romantic relationship to feel fulfilled.
In more recent weeks, Lopez has reportedly been enjoying her time with friends and family, embracing what makes her happy. The emphasis on her self-sufficiency serves as a declaration that she is comfortable in her own skin and flourishing both personally and professionally.
As anticipation builds for ‘Office Romance’ following its premiere in Los Angeles, it’s evident that both Lopez and Goldstein possess a compelling dynamic that will likely attract audiences. The playful interaction during their segment on ‘Today’ not only entertained viewers but also highlighted Lopez’s strong sense of self in the face of relentless gossip.
In conclusion, fans will have to wait and see how Lopez’s next chapter unfolds, both on and off-screen. For now, she appears determined to navigate the world of Hollywood while maintaining her independence and sense of humour amidst the swirling speculations about her love life.
