Leah Remini addresses rumors of fallout with Jennifer Lopez

Leah Remini is finally setting the record straight about her relationship with longtime friend Jennifer Lopez, following months of speculation that the two stars had a falling out.

In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Remini shared insight into where the friendship stands today.

“Right after the divorce, we’d text each other loving messages of support,” Remini said, referring to her 2024 split from husband Angelo Pagán after 21 years of marriage. The timing mirrored Jennifer Lopez’s own divorce from Ben Affleck, which was also filed in August 2024.

Rumors about a possible rift began circulating when Remini didn’t attend Lopez’s wedding to Affleck in 2022. However, the King of Queens star dismissed any talk of a feud. “Sometimes you don’t talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn’t mean the love is lost,” she said. “Friendships ebb and flow. That doesn’t mean we’re at odds.”

Remini, who famously left the Church of Scientology 12 years ago, revealed that her personal transformation has led her to retreat from the spotlight and spend more time at home.

“I cherish my friendships and not everybody is meant to be in your life in the way that they were,” she said. “I have many friends that I don’t talk to every day. That doesn’t mean we’re at odds — it’s just that I’m at a different place and so are they.”

Despite the distance, Remini’s comments indicate that her bond with Lopez remains intact, though redefined. CNN has reached out to representatives for both stars for additional comment.
