Jennifer Lopez said she is a single woman and discussed her children's transition to college during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live [1].

These personal updates come as Lopez navigates a high-profile transition in her family life and manages public speculation regarding her romantic relationships.

Lopez shared details about her children, Emme and Max, who are preparing for college following their high school graduation [2]. The actress has previously highlighted family milestones, including a Memorial Day pool day with friends in late May 2024 [1].

Much of the recent public interest has centered on Lopez's professional and personal connection with actor Brett Goldstein. The pair starred together in the Netflix film “Office Romance” and appeared together at the Netflix Upfront at Sunset Pier 94 Studios in New York City on May 13, 2026 [3]. During that red-carpet appearance, observers said the pair appeared smitten and displayed strong chemistry [3].

However, reports regarding the nature of the relationship vary. Some sources said the connection was a “rebound” romance that was never intended to become a serious commitment [4]. Other reports said that Lopez has ended the relationship and is single again [5].

This follows a period of public reflection on her independence. Lopez previously attended The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Gala on Dec. 3, 2025, where the topic of her being single was also noted [6].

“Lopez is single again after ending her relationship with Brett Goldstein.”

The conflicting reports regarding Lopez's relationship with Brett Goldstein—ranging from 'smitten' red-carpet chemistry to a terminated 'rebound' romance—highlight the gap between promotional appearances for a project and private reality. Combined with her children leaving for college, Lopez is entering a new personal phase characterized by a shift in domestic dynamics and a public embrace of singlehood.
