It’s been nearly six months since Jennifer Lopez finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck after just two years of marriage. Earlier this month, we reported that Affleck is willing to pay millions to permanently cut Lopez out of his life.
Now, Affleck reportedly has a warning for Lopez’s alleged new boyfriend, her c0-star Brett Goldstein.
Affleck’s Warning For Lopez’s New Boyfriend
Lopez, 55, was spotted getting cozy with Goldstein, 44., at the wrap party in the Dominican Republic for their upcoming rom-com movie, Office Romance. They were seen enjoying a romantic dinner together. Lopez and Goldstein then headed off to a private cabana for some canoodling.
Affleck, 52, has reportedly heard about this new romance. Insiders say that he’s worried about Goldstein, as he believes the British actor is in way over his head.
“He’s aware of what’s going on with her and Brett and doesn’t want to deprive Jennifer of the right to do what she wants,” a source told Radar Online. “He thinks Brett should get out of it if he knows what’s good for him, but clearly he’s too swept up by Jennifer’s charms to see what’s happening to him. Jennifer is hard on guys and Ben can testify to that.”
“Ben is relieved she’s focused on something new,” the source continued. “He feels sorry for Brett – he can tell he’s a nice, unassuming character who will be chewed up and spit out.”
“She wants her men to conform to her over-the-top lifestyle and meet her standards of perfection and that’s an impossible thing to ask of anyone,” the insider concluded. “Ben couldn’t do it and he’s a pretty easygoing guy, in his own estimation. Ben wishes Brett a lot of luck because he’ll need it.”
Difficult Time For Lopez
This comes as a difficult time for Lopez. Her divorce from Affleck, who was her fourth husband, was finalized in January. They had been married for just two years when she filed for divorce from him in August of 2024.
Though they are officially divorced, Lopez and Affleck still own a mega-mansion that they bought together in Beverly Hills, California. They put the mansion on the market for a whopping $68 million in July of last year. After being unable to sell it, however, they slashed this price by $8 million. Despite this, they have still not been able to find a buyer.
This mansion is the last thing tying Lopez and Affleck together. Because of this, Affleck is willing to slash the price by millions more, just to get Lopez out of his life. Indeed, he seemingly thinks permanently cutting ties with Lopez is worth losing millions of his own money.
Affleck Wants To ‘Cut The Final Cord’
“Ben and JLo slashed the price on their Beverly Hills mansion for $8 million less than they paid for it, but this is nothing to Ben,” an insider told Daily Mail. “He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined.”

Needless to say, it has to be embarrassing for Lopez that Affleck is being so public about wanting to “cut the final cord” with her. Perhaps this has partly led to her finding comfort in the arms of Goldstein.
Only time will tell if Goldstein heeds Affleck’s warning, or if he stays with Lopez longterm!
