Jennifer Lopez navigates new chapter in life amid divorce from Ben Affleck
'Office Romance' marks Jennifer Lopez's third collaboration with Netflix, following her dynamic roles in 'Atlas' and 'The Mother.'
The star is also lighting up screens with 'Unstoppable,' based on the incredible true story of Anthony Robles, who despite being born with one leg becomes a wrestling legend.
Produced by Hollywood powerhouses Matt Damon and Ben Affleck — who recently split from Lopez, 'Unstoppable' represents the first project from the duo since their July 2022 marriage. Notably, Lopez’s new chapter comes on the heels of her divorce from Affleck, filed just last month after swirling rumors of a split.
Meanwhile, Goldstein’s only public romance was with actress Beth Rylance back in 2021.
