Fans have been buzzing ever since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage hit a rough patch last year, culminating in Lopez filing for divorce on their second anniversary. Now, rumors swirling around Lopez and Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein have reignited interest—and Ben Affleck reportedly has some strong feelings about it.
The sparks began flying on the set of Office Romance, a Netflix romantic comedy starring Lopez and Goldstein, where sources say the atmosphere was a “flirt fest.” Goldstein has long admired Lopez; a resurfaced podcast clip reveals him gushing over her performance in Hustlers and confessing, “I’d never wanted to be cuddled more.” This has only fanned the rumors about a possible off-screen connection.
According to insiders, Affleck is aware of the buzz surrounding Lopez and Goldstein. He reportedly respects Lopez’s freedom to live her life but has a warning for Goldstein. Affleck believes Goldstein is “too swept up by Jennifer’s charms” and is unaware of the challenges ahead. “Jennifer is hard on guys,” the source said, adding that Affleck sympathizes with Goldstein, seeing him as a kind and unsuspecting person who might get “chewed up and spit out.”
Affleck feels Lopez’s high expectations and lavish lifestyle are tough to meet, making it difficult for anyone to keep up. This dynamic leaves Affleck feeling sorry for Goldstein and cautious about how things could unfold.
