Jimmy Kimmel wants to know if *Office Romance* star Jennifer Lopez is ready for some TV romance.

Ahead of the upcoming release of her new Netflix film, the rom-com queen joined *Jimmy Kimmel Live* on Wednesday night, and the host brought up the fact that Lopez is now single.

"I am," she said to cheers from the audience. "I should have done it sooner. I've been doing it all wrong."

Being a company man, Kimmel then asked Lopez if she'd consider stepping in as ABC's next Bachelorette.

"No," she instantly replied. "Are you crazy? I'm not doing anything to ruin how I feel right now. It's fantastic, I love it."

When Kimmel countered that it has to be tough for her to meet someone, she said, "I'll meet somebody somewhere one day, if they're good enough."

Lopez has been married four times, and after a highly-publicized reunion with former beau Ben Affleck, the duo officially divorced in early 2025. Coincidentally, Kimmel has his own past relationship with Affleck.

The internet is currently shipping Lopez and her *Office Romance* costar, Brett Goldstein, who hasn't been shy in talking about what a fan he is of Lopez. And she returned the favor by recently naming him as her best onscreen kiss.

*Office Romance* premieres June 5 on Netflix. Watch Lopez talk about single life in the clip above.
