It’s been a while since what Jennifer Lopez once called “The Greatest Love Story Never Told” — her relationship with ex-husband Ben Affleck — officially came to an end. At first, there were subtle signs, and eventually, the split became inevitable. Time has passed, and while Affleck seems to be staying single for now, JLo is already turning the page. And doing so right from the film set.
So, who’s her new love interest? British actor Brett Goldstein, 11 years younger than Jennifer, and currently starring alongside her in the upcoming romantic comedy Office Romance.
According to a source close to Affleck, when he found out about JLo’s new romance with Goldstein, he reportedly said: “I wish him luck… because dating JLo is no small thing”. Ben made it clear: being with Jennifer isn’t easy. The source told RadarOnline that the former Batman star feels a bit sorry for Brett: “He seems like a nice guy… but he’s about to be eaten alive by Hurricane JLo.”

“Jennifer is demanding, has impossible standards and a lifestyle that not everyone can put up with. I couldn’t, and I consider myself a pretty balanced person.”
While many believed the love story between JLo and Affleck would last forever — especially after their big reunion in 2021 — it all came to an end with a divorce in 2024. From the looks of it, Ben walked away more drained than heartbroken.
Jennifer Lopez, now 55, seems to be embracing a fresh chapter and giving love another shot. She appears genuinely excited about Brett Goldstein, the British actor, screenwriter, and comedian she’s currently filming Office Romance with. But while sparks may be flying on set, Affleck seems to be sending a quiet warning. Like someone who’s weathered the emotional storm and doesn’t want to see someone else get caught in it.

“Ben is relieved she’s focused on something new,” the insider added — almost like closing with a subtle “don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
