Ben Affleck has allegedly warned Brett Goldstein to stay away from Jennifer Lopez as rumors grow about their on-set romance. Sources claim Affleck believes Goldstein may not be able to handle Lopez’s high expectations.
Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein have been sparking dating rumors while filming their new Netflix movie Office Romance. The two were seen getting close on set, and reports suggest their chemistry went beyond the cameras. Now, Lopez’s ex-husband, Ben Affleck, has reportedly shared his concerns about the potential relationship.
Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein’s Growing Chemistry
Lopez, 55, and Goldstein, 44, star together in the upcoming romantic comedy Office Romance. Fans noticed their close bond during filming, with some calling the set a “flirt fest.” The two were spotted holding hands and sharing intimate conversations between takes.
Goldstein, known for his role in Ted Lasso, has openly admired Lopez for years. In an old podcast clip, he praised her performance in Hustlers and joked about wanting to be cuddled by her. This resurfaced clip added fuel to the dating rumors.
“I’d never wanted to be cuddled more,” Goldstein said about Lopez in the podcast.
After wrapping up filming in May 2025, Lopez and Goldstein were seen together at a wrap party in the Dominican Republic. Witnesses claimed they snuck away to a private cabana, further fueling speculation.
Ben Affleck’s Warning to Brett Goldstein
Sources say Ben Affleck is aware of the rumors and has strong opinions about them. While he reportedly respects Lopez’s right to date whoever she wants, he allegedly thinks Goldstein is in over his head.
“He thinks Brett should get out of it if he knows what’s good for him, but clearly he’s too swept up by Jennifer’s charms to see what’s happening to him,” a source told RadarOnline.
Affleck, who was married to Lopez from 2022 to 2024, reportedly believes Goldstein won’t be able to meet Lopez’s high standards.
“Jennifer is hard on guys and Ben can testify to that. He feels sorry for Brett – he can tell he’s a nice, unassuming character who will be chewed up and spit out,” the source added.
Affleck and Lopez’s divorce was finalized in early 2025 after two years of marriage. Despite their split, Affleck has spoken respectfully about Lopez in interviews, saying there was “no major scandal” behind their breakup.
Jennifer Lopez’s Dating History and Moving On
Lopez has been married four times, including to Affleck twice (first in the early 2000s and again from 2022-2024). After their divorce, she has focused on her career, starring in multiple films and preparing to host the 2025 American Music Awards.
Friends of Lopez say she is ready to move on and is enjoying her time with Goldstein. However, Affleck’s warning suggests he believes the Ted Lasso star may not be prepared for Lopez’s demanding lifestyle.
“She wants her men to conform to her over-the-top lifestyle and meet her standards of perfection, and that’s an impossible thing to ask of anyone. Ben couldn’t do it, and he’s a pretty easygoing guy,” the insider claimed.
Goldstein, on the other hand, has not publicly commented on the rumors. Fans are now waiting to see if this “office romance” will turn into something more serious.
