‘I’m not dating’

Jennifer Lopez puts Brett Goldstein relationship rumours to rest during awkward live TV exchange

Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez addressed ongoing speculation about her relationship with co-star Brett Goldstein during a recent appearance on the Today show, leading to an uncomfortable yet light-hearted exchange with host Savannah Guthrie.

Lopez and Goldstein appeared on the morning show to promote their upcoming romantic comedy Office Romance. However, the conversation shifted from their film to persistent rumours surrounding their off-screen relationship. When Guthrie asked whether the buzz about their chemistry extending beyond the screen was true, Lopez dismissed the speculation, explaining that such rumours often follow her whenever she is seen working with a male co-star. “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,” the actress said.

Goldstein joined in with a joke, saying, “I think if you stand near her, that’s what happens. That’s why I’ve been standing so close this whole time.” Despite their humorous responses, Guthrie continued pressing for a clearer answer. Addressing Lopez directly, she said, “OK, but I’ll just say, because I’m me and you know me, that was not an answer.”

Lopez quickly disagreed. “That was not an answer? It was an answer!” she replied, pointing out that similar rumours had previously linked her with actor Kevin Costner. She added, “It happens all the time. Doesn’t make it true.” The journalist then noted that Lopez often becomes the subject of romance rumours because she is “a hot, eligible single person.” “OK, so you’re not dating in real life?” Guthrie asked once again. “Not dating,” Lopez answered firmly, while Goldstein backed her up with, “Correct.”
