Jennifer Lopez has had her fair share of romantic leads, from George Clooney to Matthew McConaughey, but her recent revelation about her favorite onscreen kiss caught everyone off guard.
Appearing on 'Watch What Happens Live' with Andy Cohen on Wednesday, October 15, Lopez played along during the show’s always-revealing "Plead the Fifth" segment.

Goldstein, known for playing Roy Kent on 'Ted Lasso,' stars alongside Lopez in the upcoming Netflix rom-com 'Office Romance.' Though Lopez has famously kissed her now ex-husband Ben Affleck in 'Gigli' and 'Jersey Girl,' it was her recent co-star who got top honors from her.

Lopez kept things short when Cohen brought up her past relationship with Alex Rodriguez and the speculation that his DMs played a role in their 2021 split.

Rodriguez and Lopez ended their engagement in March 2021 after nearly four years together. She quickly reunited with Affleck, but their fairy-tale reboot ultimately ended in divorce.

The chemistry between Lopez and Goldstein has been a topic of buzz since they were spotted filming together in New Jersey earlier this year. They were seen arm-in-arm and laughing between takes, fueling speculation online that something more than acting might be going on.
A source previously told DailyMail that Lopez was “looking forward to working with the very handsome and smart” Goldstein. The insider added, “He is one hot ticket and a real class act with talent to back it up... She thinks he is very cute.”

Lopez had confirmed the 'Office Romance' casting via her Instagram Stories in September 2024, reposting Deadline's article and writing, "This is going to be fun!!!" The film was co-written by Goldstein and 'Ted Lasso' producer Joe Kelly, with Netflix winning the bidding war for the project.
