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.
