An insider said: “From the moment Jennifer and Brett started discussing the project, there was a natural spark between them that everyone noticed. They immediately clicked on both a professional and personal level, which created a really relaxed atmosphere on set and made filming a pleasure for everyone involved.
“Jennifer genuinely enjoys Brett’s company. She thinks he’s incredibly witty, charismatic and talented, and she appreciates how down-to-earth he is despite his success. They spent a lot of time laughing together between takes and developed a strong connection while working so closely on the film.
“Their chemistry translated effortlessly onto screen because there was already a real warmth and mutual respect between them behind the scenes. Jennifer has nothing but admiration for him as an actor and as a person, and she believes audiences will see that connection when they watch their movie.”
Despite the speculation, both stars recently denied they are romantically involved during an appearance on NBC’s Today.
When host Savannah Guthrie raised the subject, Lopez said they were “not dating.”
Goldstein replied: “Correct.”
Lopez has also dismissed the prospect of finding romance through social media. During an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on June 8, she revealed she does not check direct messages and made clear any potential suitor would need to make a stronger impression in person.
She said: “I think they would be able to find me, no? If you really wanted to find me, you could find me.”
Lopez added: “You’re not going to find me through Instagram or sliding into my DMs. You have to make more of an effort than that.”
