Is Ted Lasso star dating Jennifer Lopez? 'Flattered' response to romance question from Roy Kent actor Brett Goldstein

Goldstein, who plays foul-mouthed player-turned-pundit Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, is being linked with music and film icon Lopez. That is partly due to the fact that they are set to star alongside one another in the upcoming Netflix comedy ‘Office Romance’.

Neither party has offered any indication in public that they are an item, but that has done little to stop the rumour mill from ticking over. Goldstein is reluctant to be dragged into a discussion regarding his private life, with the London native happy to crack jokes about supposed ties to a global superstar.

Quizzed by In Style on the Lopez links, Goldstein said: "Yeah, that sort of thing isn't my favourite. It's near impossible, but, ideally, you just don't look at any of that stuff because it will make you very uncomfortable. And maybe I should just be flattered that anyone could think that that would be a thing, you know what I mean?"

While working on other projects, Goldstein is preparing to rejoin the world of AFC Richmond. He is looking forward to that, with filming for Season 4 of Ted Lasso now taking place in England. He said: "It'll be nice. It's been three years since we've actually filmed together. I keep imagining the set and feeling at home.”

Goldstein added when asked if he will be joining Jason Sudeikis on the writing team: "I am co-writing an episode with Jamie Lee. It's definitely an emotional episode, but will that emotion be happy? It's possible. I'm very excited about that episode. All I can say is, I'm very excited about it. Does that mean it's sad? Probably."

There is no official word as yet regarding a release date for the next instalment of Ted Lasso, with episodes still being shot, but Apple TV+ is ready to bring the award-winning show back to an excited global audience.
