Ben Affleck has broken his silence on ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s reported new romance and his reaction is making headlines. The Hollywood actor, who rekindled and later married Lopez nearly two decades after their initial breakup, has reportedly issued a blunt warning to her rumored new beau, British actor Brett Goldstein.
Amid reports that Lopez and Goldstein, her Office Romance co-star, have grown closer, Affleck is said to be wary of the intense media storm that tends to follow the pop icon. A source close to the Argo star told Radar Online, “Brett seems like a nice guy but he’s about to be eaten alive by Hurricane JLo.”
Rumors of Lopez and Goldstein’s budding relationship began circulating in May. According to In Touch Weekly, the pair’s chemistry on the set of Office Romance has extended beyond the cameras. “They’re both professional and ready to deliver their lines when the cameras are rolling, but in between, it’s a flirt fest,” an insider revealed.
The source added, “Brett fawns all over Jennifer, and she’s absolutely loving the attention.” They described Goldstein as “so adoring, which is exactly what she needs right now.”

Lopez, who has been in the headlines frequently due to speculation about the status of her marriage with Affleck, appears to be embracing this new chapter. “She’s much happier now,” the insider noted. “Everyone has noticed the change. There’s a new carefree energy about her.”
Neither Lopez nor Goldstein have publicly confirmed the relationship, but Affleck’s remarks seem to suggest he believes the actor may not be prepared for the intense scrutiny and pressure that comes with being romantically linked to the superstar.
Lopez and Affleck married in 2022 after rekindling their early-2000s romance, but have reportedly been living apart in recent months, fueling speculation of a split.
For now, while fans await official word from Lopez or Goldstein, Affleck’s candid comment may serve as a warning and a reality check for anyone entering the whirlwind that is JLo’s world.
