Jennifer Lopez may not be dating her Office Romance costar Brett Goldstein, but there is an undeniable spark between them.

“She and Brett have great chemistry, and that made working together on set easy and enjoyable,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “It was instant chemistry from their first call about the project. She thinks he’s incredibly charming, talented and just a really good guy.”

While the insider insists there is “nothing romantic going on between them besides flirtation,” Lopez’s inner circle believes Goldstein, 45, is a total catch.

“Jen’s friends joke with her that she should give him a chance because they think he’d be a great match for her,” the source tells Us.

Despite her pals’ hopes, Lopez, 56, is not looking for love at the moment.

“J. Lo is in a really good place right now and has pretty much sworn off dating for the time being,” the insider shares. “She is usually in a relationship, so she’s genuinely enjoying this time being single and focusing on herself.”

Us Weekly has reached out to reps for Lopez and Goldstein for comment.

In the upcoming Netflix rom-com Office Romance, Lopez plays airline CEO Jackie Cruz, who secretly falls in love with a lawyer at her company, Daniel Blanchflower (Goldstein).

“When we first met on the Zoom, it was instant. We were laughing,” the Ted Lasso star said of the Grammy nominee during a Tuesday, June 2, appearance on the Today show. “I was like, ‘OK, it’s going to be great.'”

So great, in fact, that the pair instantly sparked dating rumors while promoting the movie.

“There’s never a time when I’m seen with somebody or working with somebody where they don’t try to put me with the person,” Lopez told Savannah Guthrie during the same interview.

After Guthrie, 54, pressed Lopez to set the record straight once and for all, the “On the Floor” singer replied, “Not dating,” to which Goldstein confirmed, “Correct.”
