AceShowbiz - Amidst their ongoing divorces, Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini, who had previously experienced a rift in their friendship, have reportedly reconnected. The actresses had a "long heart-to-heart" conversation, according to an insider who spoke to Us Weekly.

Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck last month, while Remini announced her separation from Angelo Pagan in August 2023. The source revealed that Lopez and Remini "couldn't believe they were both in the middle of a divorce."

Their shared experience as well as Remini's previous concerns about Lopez's romance with Affleck, which initially caused the falling out, have brought them closer together. The source stated that "Leah and J.Lo bonded over the shared experience" and "are in the beginning of rekindling their friendship."

Remini and Lopez first met in 2004. Their friendship was strained in 2022 when Lopez married Affleck after reconnecting with him. Remini's absence from the wedding ceremony fueled speculations of a feud, which was further fueled by comments from Remini's friend Michelle Visage in September 2023.

Despite the rumors, neither Lopez nor Remini publicly addressed the issue. However, both actresses approached their divorces in a similar manner, filing without lawyers and seeking an amicable resolution.

The insider added that Lopez is "moving forward with dignity" and wants to keep her divorce "out of the public eye when possible." Meanwhile, Remini and Pagan stated in their joint Instagram announcement that they had "changed" and remain "best friends."

Their reconciliation highlights the enduring bond between the two actresses and their ability to repair their friendship despite past differences.
