What is Relationship Goals about?
Leah Caldwell is a driven TV producer with a singular ambition: become the first woman to run New York City's most-watched morning news program. She has mapped out every step of the climb — until her ex-boyfriend resurfaces, competing for the exact same coveted role. What begins as a professional rivalry quickly becomes something far more complicated. Old feelings do not stay buried, and the closer they work together, the harder it gets for Leah to keep her eyes on the prize. The film asks whether you can separate the heart from the résumé when both are chasing the same finish line.
Cast & crew
Kelly Rowland — Grammy-winning recording artist turned actor — carries the film as Leah, bringing warmth and credibility to a character who refuses to choose between love and ambition. Method Man plays her ex with easy charm. The supporting cast includes Robin Thede, Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert, Melanie Leishman, Matt Walsh, and Daniel Malik, rounding out the newsroom world with comic energy.
