“They are so back”: Alleged Reason Jennifer Lopez and Ex-BFF Leah Remini’s Friendship Turned Sour As Fans Smell a Reconciliation Amid Their Respective Divorces
- Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini had been friends since 2004 and even starred in a movie together before a rift separating them.
- Their alleged feud began with Remini’s irk with Affleck and their relationship since she did not want Lopez to fall into the same trap that broke her heart.
- Neither Lopez nor Remini have ever confronted their rift in the media. It’s difficult to say what they will do to get their friendship back.
Friendships between celebrities and people in the public eye, in general, are comparatively more sensitive than regular relationships since all their drama unfolds in front of the masses to witness. Similar to how the burgeoning publicity ruined Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s initial romance, it also seemed to have impacted Lopez’s friendship with Leah Remini.
Lopez and Remini had been friends since 2004 and even starred in a movie together. The media often asked them questions about each other, irritating them to new extents. Regardless, the two powerful ladies of Hollywood supported and cheered each other every step of the way until recently when their equation seemed to go sour.
Will Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini reconcile?
In 2022, when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally tied the knot after years of on-again-off-again romance, Lopez’s best pal Leah Remini seemed to be missing from the celebrations. Moreover, the two actresses have not been spotted together since the wedding ceremony.
A tentative reason behind their alleged feud is Remini’s irk with Affleck and their relationship. Remini wanted Lopez to be smart about this decision and not fall into the same trap that broke her heart back in 2004. However, Lopez did not want any negativity around her newfound love and cast Remini aside.
Now, the news of Lopez and Affleck’s breakup has been making the rounds, proving Remini was right in warning her best friend and protecting her interests before everything else. A source close to the duo told Page Six that Remini is open to extending a hand of friendship back and reconciling with her best pal. The source said,
They were friends for years. She wants to reach out to her, but she can’t just call up and say, ‘I told you so.’
It’s unclear if Lopez and Remini will patch things back up even though they used to be like sisters back then. Their friendship was authentic and honest, which is extremely rare in today’s day and age, especially between two actresses.
Fans believe Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini will reconcile soon
Apart from Lopez’s divorce news, Remini also announced her separation and divorce from her husband Angelo Pagan. The couple had been together for over two decades but have now decided to call it quits and move on in their individual lives.
While some fans joke around and suggest Lopez and Remini should get together and have their happily ever after, others assume that their friendship might be reignited.

Neither Lopez nor Remini have ever confronted their rift in the media. It’s difficult to say what they will do to get their friendship back. Since all of these are mere speculations, we have to take it with a pinch of salt. Nonetheless, it’s heartening to see fans root for the two actresses to reconcile and forget their differences.
