A straightforward question about her dating life became the highlight of Jennifer Lopez’s appearance on NBC’s “TODAY” show on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, when co-host Savannah Guthrie refused to accept anything less than a direct answer about whether the actress is romantically involved with her “Office Romance” co-star Brett Goldstein.

The 56-year-old Lopez and 45-year-old Goldstein were on the morning show to promote their new Netflix rom-com, but the 54-year-old Guthrie had other priorities. She immediately addressed the speculation that has been circulating since mid-May about the pair’s off-screen relationship.

“You know what everyone’s saying: That it might be real,” Guthrie said, diving straight into the rumors.

The Question Everyone Wanted Answered

When Guthrie raised the dating rumors during the interview, Lopez responded by noting this was nothing new. “There’s never a time where I’m seen with somebody or working with somebody where they don’t try to put me with the person,” she replied.

The “Ted Lasso” star Goldstein played along with humor, suggesting that simply standing near Lopez triggers romance speculation — and admitted he’d been positioning himself as close as possible during the promotional tour. Guthrie joked that was probably what he wished would happen, and Goldstein cheerfully agreed.

In “Office Romance,” Lopez portrays Jackie Cruz, an airline CEO who develops feelings for Daniel Blanchflower — a lawyer and new employee played by Goldstein. Their visible chemistry during the press tour has fueled fan theories about a real-life romance.

Savannah Refuses to Let It Slide

The lighthearted exchange wasn’t sufficient for Guthrie, who demanded clarity. “Okay, but I’ll just say, because I’m me and you know me. That was not an answer,” she told the duo.

Lopez argued that she had answered, then rattled off examples of past unfounded rumors. “There’s never a time where I’m seen with somebody or working with somebody where they don’t try to put me with the person. It happens all the time. Doesn’t make it true,” she said.

After complimenting Lopez for being a hot, eligible single person, Guthrie asked one final time, directly, whether they were dating.

“Not dating,” Lopez said firmly. Goldstein chimed in with a single word: “Correct.”

A Playful Turnabout on Set

Lopez got her moment of revenge later in the segment when Guthrie dropped her cue cards while attempting to begin a trivia game. The actress teased that the host had clearly gotten “flustered.” Guthrie owned it: “I did, I got flustered. It’s you, Jennifer!”

“You tried to fluster us, and we flustered you!” Lopez laughed.

Lopez Says She’s in Her ‘Happy Era’

The actress has been single since January 2026, when her divorce from Ben Affleck was finalized. She previously declined a suggestion to appear on “The Bachelorette” in April 2026.

During a previous interview on “Good Morning America,” Lopez described her current mindset. “I’m in my happy era. I feel like, for the first time in my life, I’m free. I’m on my own. And it feels really good. I didn’t really know what that felt like since I was in my early 20s and even before that, I’ve always had a boyfriend. There was always someone in my life and so many other things that I felt were out of my control,” she shared.

The speculation surrounding the two actors has been amplified by Goldstein’s obvious admiration for Lopez and the fact that he co-wrote “Office Romance” specifically for her. It’s a sweet origin story for a film — just not, apparently, a romance.

“Office Romance” begins streaming on Netflix on June 5, 2026, giving viewers a chance to judge the Lopez–Goldstein spark for themselves — strictly on screen, of course.

As for the off-camera version, Lopez and Goldstein have made their answer clear. Whether the internet chooses to believe them is, as always, another story.
