MORE The “Kevin Can Wait” actress also insisted she was never feuding with Lopez, explaining, “Sometimes you don’t talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn’t mean the love
is lost.” She added, ”Friendships ebb and flow. That doesn’t mean we’re at odds.” Remini, 54, filed for divorce from Angelo Pagán on Aug. 29, 2024, after 21 years of marriage. Remini, who
shares a 20-year-old daughter, Sofia Bella, with Pagán, cited “irreconcilable differences” in her filing. Lopez, meanwhile, pulled the plug on her union with Affleck on Aug. 20, 2024, after
two years of marriage. The “On the Floor” songstress, 55, waited to file the papers until the anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony — despite being separated from the Oscar-winning
actor since April 2024. WANT MORE CELEBRITY AND POP CULTURE NEWS? Start your day with Page Six Daily. THANKS FOR SIGNING UP! Rumors of Lopez and Remini’s falling-out began swirling when the

singer to remember why she called off her first engagement to Affleck back in 2004. Per our source, Remini told Lopez that the actor was “selfish” and “not fully committed as a partner.”
