Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez have seemingly rekindled their longtime friendship following an alleged two-year fallout over Ben Affleck.
A source close to the ladies revealed to Page Six that the duo got into a fight over Lopez marrying Affleck in 2022. Remini allegedly warned Lopez to remember why she originally ended things with the Argo star in 2003.
“Because he is selfish and is not fully committed as a partner,” the source said, referring to Leah Remini’s warning to Jennifer Lopez. “J. Lo was so mad, she cut off all ties.”
Leah Remini was noticeably absent during Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s grand wedding event in Georgia, which took place in August 2022. However, the reason for Remini’s absence could have been due to her helping to move her daughter to college that same weekend.
The estranged friends have reportedly reunited as rumors circulate about Lopez and Affleck’s marriage woes. “They were friends for years,” the insider explained. They pointed out that Remini wants to reach out to Lopez. “But she can’t just call up and say, ‘I told you so.’”
Rumors about Lopez and Affleck started circulating after Lopez appeared on the Met Gala carpet solo. It was later revealed that Affleck had moved out of the couple’s $60 million mansion and was living at a $100,000-a-month rental.
Although the couple has been seen out and about together, rumors are still going around that Affleck has “come to his senses” about the marriage and is ready to call it quits.
