Get Ready: J.Lo and Ted Lasso’s Netflix Rom-Com Revealed!

Jennifer Lopez's return to romantic comedies now has a release date and first-look image.

After starring in romantic comedies like Maid in Manhattan and Monster-in-Law earlier in her career, Jennifer Lopez's movies in recent years have belonged to other genres, including the action thriller The Mother, the sci-fi Atlas, and the musical drama Kiss of the Spider Woman. Both The Mother and Atlas performed well on Netflix, including the latter becoming one of the streamer's most-watched originals of all time in 2023, although it has since fallen out of the top 10.

Lopez is now back in the world of romantic comedies opposite Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein in Office Romance, with the film now scheduled to make its Netflix debut on June 5. The actors play the respective roles of CEO Jackie Cruz and new employee Daniel Blanchflower, two work-obsessed colleagues who begin a secret office romance that causes trouble. Check out the first-look image below of Jackie and Daniel gazing lovingly into each other's eyes:

While this genre is familiar territory for Lopez, Netflix's description refers to it as a "raunchy romantic comedy," and she told People that "It's a classic romance, with modern edgier humor." Director Ol Parker also teased that "It pushes the envelope slightly for what people might expect from a Jennifer Lopez movie." Even though the Maid in Manhattan star "was booked back to back with other projects," she "knew I had to do this movie," as Goldstein and Joe Kelly's script "felt instantly special, a new kind of romantic comedy that really speaks to the times."

Office Romance features Edward James Olmos as Jack Cruz, the father of Lopez's character, which reunites the two actors after he played her father in the 1997 movie Selena. The star-studded cast also includes Betty Gilpin, Tony Hale, Bradley Whitford, Amy Sedaris, Jodie Whittaker, Roger Bart, Jackie Sandler, Tony Plana, Donald Elise Watkins, Natalie Ortega, Mary Wiseman, Brian Gallivan, Ali Stroker, Michelle Hurd, Scott Seiss, Lisa Gilroy, Rick Hoffman, Will Sasso, and Mo Welch. Lopez is one of the movie's producers via her Nuyorican Productions banner, and Goldstein and Kelly are producers as well.

For Goldstein, this is far from his first project that he has starred in, written, and produced. Beyond portraying the fan-favorite character Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, he wrote multiple episodes, including one with his Office Romance co-writer Kelly. He is one of the show's producers and is back for Ted Lasso season 4, which is slated to release this August. Additionally, Goldstein is one of the co-creators, writers, and executive producers of Apple TV's critically acclaimed series Shrinking and played the role of Louis in seasons 2 and 3.

After his success with Apple TV, Goldstein is expanding to Netflix with Office Romance, while Lopez builds on her past work with the streamer following The Mother and Atlas. Between the consistently high viewership Ted Lasso and Shrinking have brought to Apple TV, and how well The Mother and Atlas performed on Netflix, there is potential for more streaming success with Lopez and Goldstein leading a raunchy romantic comedy film.

Office Romance will be released on Netflix on June 5.

Amal Clooney Wore Optical Illusion Jeans Cosigned by Jennifer Lopez—Fall-Ready Styles Start at $44

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.

The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.

Clooney opted for a pair of medium-wash jeans with subtle fading (another Y2K reference, IMO). Her blues had an ultra-high waist—so high, in fact, that they appeared to hit at the ribcage. It’s the complete opposite of the controversial low-rise denim, so it’s a possible sign that the high-high waist is coming back, too. Not to mention, Clooney’s jeans had a slightly oversized fit from the thighs to the ankles, but it’s that flared hem that has all my attention; it’s taking me back to my middle school days when I’d wear my True Religion flares every single day. (No joke.)

It’s undeniable that Clooney’s jeans have that nostalgic flair (ahem, flare, wink, wink), but it’s also undeniable that celebs are clamoring to the style because it’s incredibly flattering. The blues basically act like an optical illusion, making legs look super long, especially when paired with a style that has an extra-long hemline and sky-high platforms á la Lopez; the singer is 5-feet-5-inches, but don’t you agree with me that she looks way taller in these jeans? Yeah, that’s thanks to the flares. The flare hem and longer inseams help create the look of legs for days, but add in a high-waisted cut, platform heels, and a crop top, and you’ll fool people into thinking you’re inches taller. 

Leg-elongating factor aside, there’s no denying that flares are fun and nostalgia-inducing—and that’s exactly what I need right now. So, shop some more fun, funky flares from Frame, NYDJ, and Mavi below.
