Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez are forever in each other’s corners.
Remini, 54, talked about her friendship with the multihyphenate, 55, with Us Weekly, noting how the two supported each other through difficult times.
“Right after the divorce, we’d text each other loving messages of support. Sometimes you don’t talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn’t mean the love is lost. Friendships ebb and flow. That doesn’t mean we’re at odds,” said Remini.

“When you’re giving what you give in a relationship, but it’s not what the person wants, it’s like, ‘So you don’t appreciate what I’m doing? Well, I don’t appreciate what you’re doing because that’s not what I want,’ ” she continued.
