A new Jennifer Lopez romcom<\/a> coming in 2026? Count us in! Although her co-star in an upcoming Netflix release is quite the surprise.<\/p>\n

The trailer for JLo\u2019s new film, Office Romance, just dropped, and it looks like the ultimate girls\u2019 night in watch with plenty of cheesy one-liners and tropes that\u2019ll have us relaxing into the sofa.<\/p>\n

In the movie, she plays Jackie Cruz, the CEO of an airline, who is every inch the boss b***h but who ends up falling for her lawyer, Daniel Blanchflower, who is played by none other than a Ted Lasso star.<\/p>\n

Brett Goldstein, who portrayed Roy Kent on Ted Lasso, is playing Daniel and if you\u2019re surprised at this turn of events, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

In the trailer, he\u2019s seen arriving for work and being warned that Ms Cruz \u2018doesn\u2019t like breathing\u2019 – not that he has to worry, as it\u2019s clear Jackie and Daniel have a connection that\u2019s more than boss and employee.<\/p>\n

Their chemistry only gets stronger, and things take a more serious turn on a trip to the Dominican Republic. <\/p>\n

Once they return to work, they try to keep things on the down low, and you guessed it, that doesn\u2019t quite go as planned.<\/p>\n

Fans were delighted, if not surprised, to see Brett in the trailer with Jennifer, with many saying it was the crossover they\u2019d never seen coming.<\/p>\n

\u2018Roy Kent in a rom-com with J.Lo is the crossover I never knew I needed. He\u2019s here, he\u2019s there, he\u2019s\u2026 in an office romance,\u2019 said<\/a> one person.<\/p>\n

Someone else said<\/a>: \u2018Office Romance with JLo and Brett Goldstein? That’s the most unexpected chemistry waiting to happen.\u2019<\/p>\n

And a third person wrote on X<\/a>: \u2018Jennifer Lopez + Brett Goldstein in a risky rom-com?? yeah this about to be messy in the best way.\u2019<\/p>\n

Chatting about the film, Brett told Tudum<\/a>: \u2018Every day I come to work to do a rom-com with Jennifer Lopez and this incredible cast, and I expect people to jump out and tell me I\u2019m being pranked. <\/p>\n

‘Hasn\u2019t happened yet, so maybe this is real.\u2019 You bet it is, Brett!<\/p>\n

Office Romance will be out on Netflix on June 5.<\/p>\n
