Jennifer Lopez is back on Watch What Happens Live — and she’s making it clear that her best romance hasn’t happened yet. During her June 9, 2026 appearance on host Andy Cohen’s late-night Bravo staple, the 56-year-old singer and actress dropped what fans are calling a not-so-subtle dig at ex-husband Ben Affleck, telling Cohen with full confidence that her “greatest love” is still on the horizon.
When Cohen asked, “Do you feel like your next great love is ahead of you?” Lopez paused before delivering a response that quickly lit up social feeds.
“I think my… yeah,” she said. “My greatest love is ahead of me 100 percent. Without a doubt.”
A Pointed Update on Her Love Life
The comment, as first reported by entertainment reporter Meera Navlakha, landed with extra weight given Lopez’ high-profile romantic history. She has been married four times — to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony and, most recently, Affleck. Her marriage to Affleck ended in 2024, and the couple finalized their divorce in January 2025.
Cohen kept the romance questions coming, asking Lopez what she considers the most romantic thing about herself.
“Everything. I’m very romantic,” she replied.
It’s a notable shift in tone from Lopez’ 2024 documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” in which she championed the idea that “some things are forever.” Two years and one divorce later, Lopez seems just as committed to the concept of true love — only this time, she’s looking forward rather than back.
Promoting ‘Office Romance’ With Brett Goldstein
Lopez’ WWHL stop was part of the press circuit for her new Netflix rom-com, “Office Romance,” which pairs her with “Ted Lasso” star Brett Goldstein. The two play Jackie Cruz and Daniel Blanchflower in the film, which had its world premiere in Los Angeles on May 26, 2026.
Naturally, the on-screen chemistry sparked off-screen chatter. Lopez and Goldstein were confronted about fling rumors during a joint appearance on the Today show, where they firmly shut speculation down with host Savannah Guthrie.
“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,” Lopez told Guthrie.
Goldstein, 45, played the moment for laughs. “I think if you stand near her, that’s what happens,” he joked. “That’s why I’ve been standing so close this whole time.”
The rumors haven’t fully cooled, though — partly because Lopez herself keeps fanning them. On Cohen’s show, she ranked Goldstein as “the best kisser” out of her long list of male co-stars, a compliment that immediately made the rounds online.
Single, and Saying So
Despite the chemistry chatter, Lopez is not currently known to be dating anyone. She confirmed her single status in a candid sit-down with Jimmy Kimmel, where she described the experience as “fantastic” and raised eyebrows by adding that she “should have done it sooner” — a comment widely interpreted as a nod to her split from Affleck.
Still, she’s open to what’s next, just not via DM.
“You’re not going to find me through Instagram or sliding into my DMs,” she told Cohen. “You have to make more of an effort than that.”
As for when love might actually arrive? Lopez was characteristically breezy. “I’ll meet somebody somewhere one day,” she said. “If they’re good enough. I don’t know.”
An Emotional Week Off Camera
The June 9 episode wasn’t Lopez’ only recent visit to Cohen’s clubhouse. During a June 8 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she got emotional discussing her 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme, heading off to college — a milestone that has the singer adjusting to empty-nester life as she pivots into a new professional chapter.
It’s a full plate: a new Netflix movie, a press blitz that touched down everywhere from Today to Kimmel to Bravo, and a very public reset on her personal life. Lopez’ love life has long been a fixture of pop culture and tabloid headlines, and her latest round of interviews has only added fresh fuel.
But for all the dissection of what she said and didn’t say about Affleck, the throughline from Lopez this week is striking in its simplicity: she’s not done with romance. If anything, she sounds convinced the best is still coming.
Whether that means a future co-star, a stranger who makes a proper effort, or something nobody has guessed yet, Lopez isn’t tipping her hand. She is, however, making one thing crystal clear — she’s not looking in the rearview mirror.
