The source adds, “There’s no bad blood but 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. [They] dated for a bit and had a really strong physical attraction toward one another. Nothing major happened, they just felt like they were better off friends than anything else.” A source shuts down rumors to the Daily Mail, saying that J.Lo and Brett’s vibe is pure showmance: “Jennifer and Brett are not dating or romantically involved at all.
They think it’s actually really funny that people are suggesting they are [dating], and they’re going with it because they’re both really excited for Office Romance to come out.” They add, “Brett is a star, but he isn’t a leading man that everyone knows about and cares about. This movie he is doing with Jen, it is her job to make him and she is taking on that position to heart. She wants him to be the next big thing. If the movie is received well and he also gets the shine from ‘being in a relationship’ with J-Lo, it shows that he is important and on his way to leading man status. As much as there is chemistry, they are also playing the game to make him into something he isn’t yet. She will take the attention it brings and she will gladly give him some shine, but it is currently nothing more than a showmance for them over a romance.”
