On Watch What Happens Live, Jennifer Lopez made it clear she doesn’t check Instagram DMs for potential suitors—and told Andy Cohen that anyone who truly wants to reach her has other ways. She also shared what kind of man she loves and hinted her “greatest love
Jennifer Lopez didn’t just give a polite answer on Watch What Happens Live—she looked fully unimpressed by the whole idea.
In a Monday-night conversation with host Andy Cohen, the 56-year-old actress was asked whether she ever checks her Instagram messages for suitors trying to “shoot their shot.” Her response was a blunt, hard “no!” before she added a look that basically said: nice try.
Cohen then raised a tempting scenario: what if an “amazing” Spanish soccer player slid into her DMs—maybe even as the World Cup approaches? Lopez didn’t soften her stance. She fired back, “I think they would be able to find me, no? If you really wanted to find me, you could find me.”
Lopez’s message stayed consistent. Reaching out to her over Instagram, in her view, isn’t the move. “You’re not going to find me through Instagram or sliding into my DMs. You have to make more of an effort than that.”
Even the tweet clip from Watch What Happens Live captures the moment—J.Lo answering with zero hesitation as Andy posed the question.
Her stance on DMs comes up against a backdrop of public relationship talk. The conversation specifically notes that she’s “not finding her next man over DMs like some people following her divorce from Ben Affleck,” which is included as context for why so many people are watching how she dates now.
But Lopez isn’t exactly declaring she’s done with love. She also told Andy elsewhere on WWHL that she does “love” a man with a “beard.” With that in mind, the story leaves readers expecting that the guy who catches her attention—or the one she’s looking for—will fit that very specific vibe.
The show’s romance talk naturally veers to the real-world buzz around Brett Goldstein. her rumored lover and also the person she’s connected to both in her professional life and her public image. The piece points out that her “rumored lover in real life and on-screen love interest. ” Brett Goldstein. already has “a bit of scruff.”.
It also claims that she and Goldstein allegedly had a short-lived fling while working on Office Romance—adding that the chemistry between them is still alive and well in the public imagination.
Lopez. for her part. told Andy she believes her “greatest love” is ahead of her—“100 percent. without a doubt.” The story frames that confidence alongside earlier relationship difficulties she’s had in trying to find the “forever partner. ” while still hinting at possible second chances. including the mention that friends would likely back Goldstein “over her alleged cheating ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez if she is giving anyone a second chance.”.
The night closes with more of Lopez’s thoughts on love, shared through an embedded clip, as the internet keeps doing what it does best: turning a single offhand answer into a whole dating storyline.

Okay but why would anyone even DM her lol
She’s acting like she’s too good for DMs but she literally blew up on social media. Also Andy always asks the weirdest stuff like people are gonna slide in for real
Wait so she DOESN’T check IG DMs… but how are people supposed to “find her” then? Like what, email? Carrier pigeon? This article makes it sound simple but it’s not
Idk the Ben Affleck part is gonna get dragged anyway. Everybody thinks she’s never checked her messages since then, but maybe she just ignores random dudes. The “beard” thing was probably a joke though, right? I feel like this was just PR shade at dating apps
