Jennifer Lopez e Leah Remini sono migliori amiche da anni, ma i fan hanno notato che Remini non si vedeva da nessuna parte durante il matrimonio di J.Lo con Ben Affleck in Georgia.
I due risalgono molto tempo fa, essendo stati presentati l’un l’altro dall’ex marito di Lopez, Marc Anthony, nel 2004. “Beh, ci siamo conosciuti perché ero amico di Marc Anthony e ho incontrato Jennifer alla premiere del film di Marc ‘Man on Fire’ e aveva una pelle perfetta, ed era divertente e fastidiosa”, ha detto Remini a E! Notizia. “Ed ero molto sconvolto dal fatto che da vicino fosse più carina e avesse un senso dell’umorismo, il che ha peggiorato le cose e non era stupida il che ha peggiorato le cose”. Si sono trovati d’accordo fin dall’inizio e da allora non si sono più lasciati. “Ci capiamo la vita l’uno dell’altro”, ha detto Lopez in un’apparizione in “The View” nel 2018, aggiungendo che sono anche praticamente uno specchio delle rispettive personalità. “Abbiamo vite simili e carriere simili e capiamo sfumature che altre persone non capiscono, quindi anche questo ci ha legato”.
Fans also have Remini to thank for helping confirm that Bennifer did indeed get back together, but many are wondering why she was not present for their grand celebration. As it turns out, “The King of Queens” star was preoccupied with something personal.

Leah Remini was absent from Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s nuptials not because she didn’t want to support her bestie, but because she was trying to be a good mom to her college-bound daughter.
Per TMZ, Remini was not able to make the trip to Georgia as she was trying to make the most out of the remaining time with her 18-year-old daughter, Sofia, before she heads off to college. The outlet confirmed that the actor was invited but wanted to put being a mom first. The star once opened up about drifting apart from her kid largely because of her involvement in Scientology, so no one can really blame her for choosing to be with her daughter. “To moms who can’t see their kids today because of Scientology’s Disconnection policy, I celebrate you for never giving up the fight to get them back,” she tweeted on Mother’s Day 2019. “And to the moms who disconnected from their kids, I hope you realize this breaks their hearts. You DO have a choice.”
It also doesn’t seem like there’s bad blood between Lopez and Remini. After all, Remini credited the “Jenny from the Block” singer for supporting her during her Scientology exit. “It was a tough moment for her,” Lopez said on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2014 (via E! News). “It’s all she knew her whole life. When you’re raised a certain way and you’re around people for a long time, whatever that is, it’s going to be hard. We’re good friends.”
