Jennifer Lopez has shared the screen — and a few romantic moments — with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, but according to her, the most memorable onscreen kiss didn’t come from the stars fans might expect.
During a lighthearted appearance on Watch What Happens Live on October 15, Lopez surprised audiences when asked to name her favorite onscreen kiss. Without hesitation, she replied:
“I just did a movie with Brett Goldstein and I’d say he was the best kisser.”
Yes — that Brett Goldstein, best known as the gruff yet lovable Roy Kent from Ted Lasso.
A New Rom-Com and an Unexpected Pick
Lopez and Goldstein star together in the upcoming romantic comedy Office Romance, co-written by Goldstein and Ted Lasso creator Joe Kelly. While fans are used to seeing Lopez paired with leading men like George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, and Richard Gere, it seems Goldstein has left a lasting impression.
The comment drew laughter from the audience, especially considering the long list of A-listers Lopez has shared romantic scenes with over her career — including Ralph Fiennes (Maid in Manhattan), Owen Wilson (Marry Me), and Josh Lucas (An Unfinished Life).
Keeping Her Private Life Closed Off
While Lopez was playful when talking about her film kisses, she drew a firm line when the conversation shifted to her personal relationships. Host Andy Cohen attempted to bring up past relationship rumors, but Lopez shut it down with grace.
“I really have nothing to say about my personal life anymore,” she said clearly. “I feel like I’m done with that.”
A Reflection on Past Love
Lopez, who has been open about her journey through love and self-discovery, shared a more reflective note in a separate conversation on The Howard Stern Show. She revealed a key lesson from her previous relationships:
“It’s not that I’m not lovable — it’s that they’re not capable. They gave me what they had, every time. But they didn’t love me, and I didn’t love myself.”
It’s a rare moment of vulnerability from an artist who has navigated decades of public fascination with her love life. Now, Lopez appears focused not on what her partners could offer — but on self-acceptance and growth.
What’s Next for Jennifer Lopez?
With Office Romance on the horizon and a renewed approach to privacy and personal growth, Lopez seems to be entering a new chapter — one defined by confidence, humor, and honesty.
And if her recent comments are anything to go by, Brett Goldstein may have just earned a spot in rom-com history — at least in Jennifer Lopez’s book.
