- Celebs. Ben Affleck meddles in the wrong relationship as he tries to put Jennifer Lopez behind him
- Celebs. Jennifer Garner is 'deathly afraid of falling in love again' with Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez was reportedly "not happy" when she saw her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, reunited with his former wife, Jennifer Garner, earlier this week.
The display of affection caught Lopez off guard, especially so soon after her divorce from Affleck was finalized. However, rather than dwell on the situation, Lopez is set to make a bold statement of her own.
Lopez's 'Wicked' revenge: A new romance with Brett Goldstein
According to exclusive sources, Lopez has already planned her "wicked" revenge. Next week, she will be in New Jersey filming the Netflix romantic comedy Office Romance, starring opposite the handsome and talented Brett Goldstein, 44, of Ted Lasso fame.
Goldstein has openly expressed his iration for Lopez, even calling her the "sexiest" woman of the decade. He chose her for the film because of his longstanding crush on the star.
"He's always adored her," a source close to Lopez shared with the Daily Mail.
"And Jennifer is thrilled to work with someone as charming and talented as Brett. He's smart, incredibly talented, and has the qualities she finds appealing."
The source added that Lopez is excited to dive into this new project after a tough start to 2025. And it doesn't hurt that she'll be working alongside someone who reminds her of a younger, more polished version of Ben Affleck.
"Brett is like a younger, more intelligent version of Ben," the source noted.
"It will certainly remind Ben that Jennifer is still a major star in Hollywood, proving she's not slowing down any time soon."
Lopez's star power continues to shine, with the 55-year-old still being a "box office dynamo" who shows no signs of fading. This film will serve as yet another reminder of her enduring relevance in the industry.
Goldstein has long been vocal about his iration for Lopez, particularly for her role in Hustlers (2019). On an episode of his podcast Films To Be Buried With, he praised the film as the "sexiest" of the decade, adding that Lopez still has it despite being in her 50s.
"I love her!" Goldstein gushed.
"She's 50 and still amazing! It's incredible."
In fact, Goldstein fondly recalled a scene from Hustlers where Lopez's character shares a warm cuddle with Constance Wu, saying it was "one of the best cuddles" he's ever seen.
His iration for Lopez is no secret, and the fact that they'll now be starring together is a dream come true for the actor.
