LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein are set to star together in the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy, 'Office Romance'. The news has sparked excitement among fans, especially given Goldstein's past confession about having a crush on the singer. In a surprising twist, it appears that Goldstein's long-held crush on Lopez has finally led to a professional collaboration.

Goldstein's infatuation with Lopez dates back to at least 2019, when he gushed about her performance in the film Hustlers on his podcast, 'Films To Be Buried With'. The 44-year-old actor described the movie as the 'sexiest' of the decade and expressed his admiration for Lopez's scene with Constance Wu. With Lopez recently single after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, fans are eagerly anticipating the on-screen chemistry between the two leads.
