Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini have ‘reconnected’ amid their divorces – after originally falling out over Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini are said to have recently gotten back in touch despite their divorce.

As they deal with the end of their marriage, the superstar, who filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on their second wedding anniversary last month, and the Kevin Can Wait star had a “long and candid” talk.

In August, Remini shocked the internet when she announced that she and husband Angelo Pagan were divorcing after 21 years of marriage.

Lopez and Remini originally had a falling out after she failed to show up for the singer’s wedding to Ben Affleck.

To add fuel to the fire, Remini’s friend Michelle Visage also indicated that the two were no longer friends when asked if they were best friends.

However, a source has said We weekly that the women, both 54, “couldn’t believe they were both in the middle of a divorce.”

“Leah and J.Lo bonded over their shared experience,” the insider added. “And they’re in the process of rekindling their friendship.”

The duo were close for years, until rumors surfaced in 2022 that they were splitting.

According to Page Sixthe two stars had a falling out over Lopez’s upcoming wedding to Affleck.

Remini had expressed her concerns to Lopez, but also reminded her of the reason for their first breakup years earlier: “Because he’s selfish and not fully committed as a partner.”

However, after the fight, the On The Floor hitmaker was ‘so angry’ that he decided to cut ‘all ties’ with Remini.

In August 2022, Lopez and Affleck held an extravagant wedding ceremony in Georgia, after tying the knot a month earlier in Las Vegas.

Interestingly, Remini was absent from the wedding, sources said. TMZ that Remini did not appear because she was spending time with her daughter Sofia, who was about to go to university.

After news broke that Lopez and Affleck’s relationship was on the rocks, a source told Page Six that Remini “wanted to reach out to her,” but wasn’t planning on saying “I told you so.”

In late May, an insider told the newspaper that Remini had contacted her and offered her support.

The couple first met in 2004 at a red carpet premiere when Lopez was dating Marc Anthony. The pair married in June of that year, but divorced 10 years later in 2014 — and share twins Max and Emme, 16.

As they cope with the end of their marriages, the superstar, who filed for divorce from Ben Affleck last month on their second wedding anniversary, and the Kevin Can Wait star had a “long heart-to-heart talk” (set to air in 2024)

Lopez, who tied the knot with Angelo Pagan in 2003, recalled first meeting Jennifer at the event when she spoke to Entertainment Tonight earlier in 2018.

“So we went to the premiere hoping she would be ugly in real life,” she explained to the outlet.

‘And as I approached her I thought, “I hope it’s the lighting. Maybe she just looks good here,” and as I got closer I thought, “Oh damn, there’s a lot of light here and she looks really beautiful.”‘

‘I even said that! I said, “Why the f**k? Why are you so f**king pretty?” And she laughed.’

‘Then I thought, “Ugh, I hope she’s dumb,” you know? I thought, “She could be dumb!” I wanted to find something [wrong with her] and I didn’t…’ Leah added.

During an earlier joint appearance on The View, the two, who starred in the romantic comedy Second Act, also spoke openly about their friendship.

“We’re very close, like sisters are. But in a different way than sisters,” Leah shared on the show, per We weekly.

Lopez also said, “We understand each other’s lives. We have similar lives and similar careers, and we understand nuances that other people don’t understand, so that’s what bonded us as well.”

The mother of two went on to call the actress “courageous, caring and generous,” while Remini called Lopez “loving, warm, fiercely loyal, courageous, brave, true and authentic.”
