Jennifer Lopez has reportedly called time on her brief fling with Brett Goldstein in Los Angeles after deciding the Ted Lasso star lacks the 'A-List' clout required to replace her ex-husband,Ben Affleck.
The singer and actress, 56, was first linked to Goldstein, 45, on the set of their upcoming raunchy romantic comedy Office Romance, just months after her high-profile divorce from Affleck was finalised in January, according to an unnamed source quoted by USoutletInTouch.
While insiders describe the British actor as being 'extremely sweet' on the pop icon, Lopez reportedly viewed the relationship as a strictly temporary rebound. Sources claim that JLo is now seeking a partner who matches Affleck's on every level, from global star quality to a matching bank balance.
With reports suggesting a staggering $295 million wealth gap between her former husband and her co-star, the 'Jenny from the Block' singer has allegedly concluded that Goldstein simply 'doesn't hit the mark'.
Despite the on-set flirting that ignited the rumours, Lopez is said to be moving forward with a 'clear vision' for her life that prioritises status and long-term celebrity standing.

'She had fun with him, there's no denying that, and she still thinks he's a genuinely lovely guy, but it was never going to turn into anything serious for her,' the source is quoted as saying. 'Right from the start, she saw him as a rebound.' That line matters because it suggests Lopez had ring‑fenced the relationship in her own mind before it ever had a chance to evolve.
