Jennifer Lopez shuts down dating rumours with co-star Brett Goldstein
Last year in March, Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein's outing to a Broadway show sparked rumours of a possible romance, coinciding with their upcoming film Office Romance. Now that the two stars are promoting their upcoming romantic comedy, they have cleared the air once and for all. uring Tuesday's Today show, co-host Savannah Guthrie asked Jennifer and Brett about the dating rumours. Lopez shut it down immediately and said, "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." Brett replied, "I think if you stand near her, that's what happens... That's why I've been standing so close this whole time!"
Even as the host pressed on them to respond to the rumours, "That was not an answer? It was an answer! Because all these people that they put me, I think I was with Kevin Costner this year. I was with … there was a lot of people. It happens all the time. Doesn't make it true."
The singer and actor parted ways with Ben Affleck two years after tying the knot, and since then, they have been tight-lipped about their separation. Their divorce was finalised in February last year. During her recent performance in Las Vegas, she opened up about her dealbreakers when it comes to love. She was seen reflecting on her song "If You Had My Love" on stage, as she shared what this 1999 hit track means to her. She said, "When I first sang it, I was very young. And I sang it with a lot of hope. But I've also sang it over the years, I've sang it while I was sad. And I've sang it when I was happy. But now, today, you know how I sing it? I sing it in power." She went on to add, "Because the truth is, if you wanted to have my love, you would have to earn it. You would have to treat me right. You would have to respect me. You'd have to accept me for all that I am. You'd have to love me if you wanted my love."
