Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Flirty Energy’ with Brett Goldstein Is ‘Genuine,’ but ‘She’s Enjoying Her Life as It Is’

Lopez and Goldstein star in the raunchy new rom-com ‘Office Romance’

Jennifer Lopez is single and thriving amid her return to her rom-com roots. 

The Office Romance star, 56, “had a great time filming” the new movie (premiering on Netflix on June 5) with its leading man and co-writer Brett Goldstein, a source tells PEOPLE. “She’s excited for people to see the movie.”

Lopez and Goldstein, 45, have fans buzzing about their on- and off-screen connection following multiple appearances on red carpets and in interviews. The “On the Floor” singer told PEOPLE on May 13 that she and the Ted Lasso Emmy winner “had great chemistry to begin with,” and said earlier this week that he was her “No. 1” rom-com costar.

“Her flirty energy with Brett is genuine. She really likes him,” says the source, adding that Lopez is “in a great place on her own right now though and doesn’t need a relationship to feel happy.”

The Grammy nominee is “enjoying her life as it is. She’s busy with work, family and the people closest to her.”

Lopez shares twins Max Muñiz and Emme Maribel Muñiz, both 18, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. “She’s looking forward to taking a special trip with the kids before they leave for school,” says the insider. “It’s an emotional time for her, but she’s incredibly proud of them.”

Following her marriage to Ben Affleck from August 2022 to August 2024 and finalizing the divorce in January 2025, Lopez has reportedly been single and in her “happy era,” as she said on Good Morning America in March. “I think, for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m free; I’m on my own. And it feels really good.”

Asked about her relationship status during a Wednesday, May 27, appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the superstar confirmed she was single, joking, “I shoulda done it sooner! I’ve been doing it all wrong.”
