Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein are once again sparking dating rumors.

The pair were spotted arriving at and leaving talent manager Cade Hudson’s exclusive party in Los Angeles on Oct. 16 reportedly in the same car, though they made sure to enter the party separately.

Instead, Lopez — who wore a sleek black leather midi dress with a plunging neckline with black pointed-toe heels — walked in alongside her longtime manager, Benny Medina.

Goldstein, who wore an all-black ensemble, was solo.

The duo, who starred in this summer’s Netflix romcom “Office Romance,” have long denied dating.

Earlier this summer, Page Six exclusively reported that Lopez, 57, and Goldstein, 46, “kept things professional on set while filming but their chemistry was undeniable.”

“They tried to keep things low-key during the months while filming but flirted here and there on set, and they definitely had a strong connection,” an insider dished. “Everyone saw them getting very cozy together at the wrap party and it was obvious they were into each other.”

“Once filming wrapped, they were free to take things further and dated for quite some time,” the insider explained, adding that eventually things “just sort of fizzled out between them.”

The source stressed there is “no bad blood” between the two and that they remain on good terms.

“It just kind of came to a lull. They have a good friendship but in terms of romantic chemistry, that ship has sort of sailed,” the insider said.

The duo had “a really strong physical attraction” but “they just felt like they were better off friends than anyone else.”

Representatives for Lopez and Goldstein did not return Page Six’s requests for comment.

The “Ted Lasso” actor had previously spoken about his crush on Lopez.

In a July 2018 episode of his podcast, “Films To Be Buried With,” Goldstein gushed over the actress’ appearance in “Hustlers.”

“F–king hell. 50!” the comedian exclaimed about Lopez’s age at the time. “She’s 50. I love her.”

He went on to voice jealousy toward one of her female co-stars during a scene in which Lopez wore a fur coat while hugging her.

“I’ve never wanted to be cuddled more. That is one of the best cuddles,” he said. “Give me one of your special cuddles.”

The duo shut down romance rumors in an awkward interview on “Today” while promoting their movie.

“There’s never a time when I’m seen with somebody or working with somebody where they don’t try to put me with the person,” Lopez noted.

Goldstein chimed in, “I think if you stand near her, that’s what happens.”

“OK, so you’re not dating in real life?” Savannah Guthrie asked the pair. 

“Not dating,” Lopez said, as Goldstein added, “Correct.”
