Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini are reportedly reconnecting after both navigating the challenges of divorce. According to a source speaking to US Weekly, the two stars, who previously had a falling out, have found common ground through their recent personal experiences.
The insider revealed that Lopez and Remini were surprised to discover they were both in the midst of divorces, leading to a renewed bond between them. “Leah and J.Lo bonded over the shared experience,” the source said. They are now in the early stages of rekindling their friendship.
Lopez and Remini, who were close friends for years, faced a rumored rift in 2022, reportedly over Lopez’s impending marriage to Ben Affleck. According to Page Six, the disagreement stemmed from Remini’s concerns about Lopez’s relationship with Affleck, including her frustrations over his perceived lack of commitment. “Because he is selfish and is not fully committed as a partner,” an insider shared regarding the reasons for their earlier fallout.
In August 2023, Leah Remini announced her separation from her husband of 21 years, Angelo Pagan, shocking many of her fans. Following this announcement, Remini and Lopez’s strained relationship intensified, culminating in Lopez cutting off all ties with Remini. Remini did not attend Lopez’s wedding to Affleck, as she reportedly chose to focus on her daughter, who was preparing to go to college, according to TMZ.
Despite their past issues, it appears that Remini has reached out to offer support to Lopez after news emerged about Lopez’s tumultuous relationship with Affleck. A source mentioned that Remini extended her support to Lopez during this challenging time.
The rekindling of their friendship marks a new chapter for both women as they navigate their personal lives post-divorce. The renewed connection highlights their shared experiences and the possibility of mending their past differences.
