Jennifer Lopez has had a whirlwind few years - from starring in musicals and romantic comedies to rekindling (and ending) high-profile relationships.
Now, the multi-hyphenate is opening up about her Hollywood journey in a series of candid interviews...
... including her favorite on-screen kiss.
J.Lo Reveals Her Favorite On-Screen Kiss
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Lopez, 55, played the fan-favorite “Plead the Fifth” game where she was asked to rank some of her most iconic co-stars in terms of their lip-locking skills.
“We have George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Gere, Owen Wilson, Josh Lucas, it goes on and on,” Cohen teased, referencing Lopez’s long list of romantic co-stars.
Lopez didn’t hesitate with her pick. “I’m gonna say my favorite … I just did a movie with Brett Goldstein and I’d say he was the best kisser.”
The two recently wrapped filming on the upcoming Netflix rom-com Office Romance, which Goldstein also co-wrote with fellow Ted Lasso producer Joe Kelly.
The project, announced in late 2024, marked Lopez’s first collaboration with the 45-year-old British star. “This is going to be fun!!!” she wrote on Instagram, sharing the casting news.
Office Romance in the Air - But No Comment on A-Rod
Filming for Office Romance took place earlier this year in New Jersey, with the project still under wraps in terms of plot details.
While the chemistry is clearly sizzling on screen, Lopez also used her WWHL appearance to shut down lingering curiosity about her personal life, specifically her past relationship with Alex Rodriguez.
When Cohen brought up speculation that her breakup with A-Rod was tied to him allegedly DMing Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy, Lopez let out a laugh.
“You know I really have nothing to say about my personal life anymore. I feel like I’m done with that.” As the crowd applauded her response, she added with a smile: “Yes! Support, support.”
Lopez and Rodriguez ended their engagement in March 2021. She later reunited with Ben Affleck, marrying him in July 2022—only to finalize their divorce in January 2025.
J.Lo’s Biggest Career Regret Still “Haunts” Her
In a separate appearance on The Howard Stern Show, cited by the Independent, Lopez opened up about the one role that continues to haunt her: Unfaithful.
The 2002 erotic thriller, directed by Adrian Lyne, became a critical and commercial hit and earned Diane Lane an Oscar nomination. But Lopez revealed she was originally offered the role.
“Yes. Adrian Lyne offered me Unfaithful,” she said. So why did she pass? “The script wasn’t good, and then [Lyne] made it great. And Diane Lane got nominated for the Oscar.”
Reflecting further, she admitted: “It’s funny. It haunts me. It haunts me a little bit... I didn’t even know what the hell was going on in my mind at the time.”
Lopez has been transparent about this regret in the past, even telling Vanity Fair in 2020: “I should have known that Adrian Lyne was going to kill it, but I didn’t. Diane Lane was so perfect for it... I want to literally, like, shoot my toe off. I do.”
Unfaithful went on to gross $119 million at the global box office, with Lane earning nominations at both the Oscars and the Golden Globes.
