Jennifer Lopez has been romantically linked again to her co-star, Brett Goldstein, as a new report claims the duo is getting cozy with each other behind closed doors.

The duo both star in the upcoming film "Office Romance" and initially sparked romance rumors in 2025, which have now been reignited.

This comes after it was revealed that Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, had taken their marital home off the market again amid a struggle to find a buyer.

According to a report, Lopez and Goldstein have become close and might have something romantic going on between them.

"It's a long-distance thing," an insider noted. "When he's in Los Angeles for work, they see each other."

Further fueling the romance speculations was an alleged photo of Goldstein at the singer's Up All Night Las Vegas residency, shared by a fan on social media.

"Right now, she's all about keeping things casual," the source continued about the singer. "J.Lo's not ready to go public with Brett, or anyone at the moment, so they just meet up in secret."

However, unlike Lopez, the insider claims Goldstein wants to be more open about their alleged romance.

"It's a little hard for Brett," the source admitted. "He'd love to be loud and proud about their budding relationship, but he's totally respecting what she wants and sneaking around to keep her happy."

Rumors about Lopez's new lover come amid her, and Ben Affleck's attempts to sell their former marital mansion have taken yet another unexpected turn.

After more than a year of trying, and even slashing the asking price by a staggering $16 million, the ex-couple has quietly pulled their Beverly Hills estate off the market once again. As of January 25, the sprawling property is no longer listed on the Multiple Listing Service, reigniting speculation about what Lopez and Affleck plan to do next.

Adding to the mystery, photographs obtained by the Daily Mail showed four large moving trucks stationed outside the residence. It remains unclear whether the move signals a full relocation, staging efforts, or something else entirely.

The former partners bought the massive 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion in the upscale Beverly Crest neighborhood in 2023, shortly after tying the knot in August 2022. The nearly 46,000-square-foot home was first listed for sale in June 2024, just two months before Lopez officially filed for divorce.

Initially priced at $68 million, the home was notably higher than what the pair had originally paid.

However, the home struggled to attract a buyer, even after entering escrow at one point. By July 2025, following months of inactivity, the property was removed from the market.

It later resurfaced in September with a reduced price of $52 million, but that relisting has now also been withdrawn.

Despite the ongoing situation with their former shared home, both stars have moved forward with separate real estate purchases. Affleck settled into a $20 million home in Pacific Palisades in August 2024, located just minutes away from his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

Lopez, meanwhile, purchased a $21 million property in Calabasas, an area popular with celebrities, after finalizing her divorce earlier this year.

Sources previously revealed that Lopez had continued living in the Beverly Hills mansion while her Calabasas home underwent extensive renovations. According to insiders, the singer spared no expense updating the main house, guest house, and pool house to her exact taste.

Recent photos now suggest that those renovations may finally be complete. Moving trucks were spotted outside Lopez's Calabasas residence on Tuesday, hinting that she and her 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme, are officially settling in.

Lopez and Affleck briefly reignited reconciliation buzz last year after crossing paths at the New York City premiere of "Kiss of the Spider Woman."

However, despite the warm interaction between the former couple, sources say a romantic reunion isn't happening.

According to an insider, Lopez is in a strong and positive place in her life, putting her energy into what matters most to her right now.

"Jennifer's doing well," the source shared, per People Magazine. "She's focused on things that make her happy— family and work."

While the two continue to have a professional rapport, the insider made it clear that their relationship remains strictly platonic.

"She always enjoyed working with Ben, and this hasn't changed," they explained. "But there's no romantic reconciliation. They're in a really good place. They continue to support each other. They're both proud of what they accomplished together."

At the film's New York premiere, Affleck publicly praised Lopez's performance, calling her "incredible," and commended director Bill Condon for delivering an exceptional movie.

Meanwhile, Lopez is currently on a short break from her Las Vegas residency after taking the stage at The Colosseum from December 30 through January 3. The show, titled "Up All Night," is set to return for its next run from March 6 to March 28.

The veteran entertainer first revealed the residency last May, sharing the official announcement with fans on social media.

At the time, she teased the performances with an enthusiastic message, inviting her followers to join her in Las Vegas for the limited run at Caesars Palace and announcing ticket sales shortly after.

During one of her recent shows, Lopez spoke candidly about love and personal growth, sharing that she hopes her next partner fully embraces her for who she is. The singer also reflected on how her perspective has evolved over the years.

She specifically referenced her 1999 hit "If You Had My Love," explaining in an Instagram clip from the residency that her connection to the song has changed with time.

"When I first sang it, I was very young. I was a little baby in the woods, and I sang it with a lot of hope," she said. "But I've also [sung] it over the years. I've [sung] it while I was sad, and I've [sung] it when I was happy. But now, today, you know how I sing it? I sing it in power."

According to Lopez, love now comes with clear expectations, respect, effort, and acceptance. "If you wanted to have my love, you would have to earn it," she told the audience, emphasizing the importance of being treated well and valued for her whole self.
