How Leah Remini and J.Lo Leaned on Texts During Their Divorces
Allow me to bring you up to speed: during their high-profile marital splits, Leah Remini and Jennifer Lopez didn’t just sob into pillows—they flooded each other’s inboxes. You might find it hard to believe that two megastars need text threads the way the rest of us cling to group chats, but Remini confessed on her “Where My Affairs Are” podcast (aired June 2025) that she and J.Lo exchanged hundreds of supportive messages when their relationships fell apart.
Leah Remini, who finalized her divorce from Angelo Pagán in September 2019, revealed she leaned on Lopez after J.Lo ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez in April 2021. “Jen was texting me every day,” Remini said, adding that Lopez didn’t just send “thinking‐of‐you” templates—she personalized her encouragement with voice notes, memes, and gifs. This isn’t hearsay from a tabloid grapevine; People Magazine covered the podcast clip when it dropped, and E! News ran a side-by-side timeline showing how their splits overlapped.
You probably *assumed* that Hollywood friendships die out the minute someone files paperwork, but nope—these women prove otherwise. It wasn’t just a few “hang in there” texts. According to TMZ’s exclusive scoop on June 4, 2025, Remini even drafted a bullet-point list of daily affirmations for Lopez to copy into her Notes app. Lopez returned the favor, sending gym class schedules and wellness app recs when Remini needed a mental boost. Both stars have preached self-care publicly, but now we see how personal that pep talk can get.
If you somehow missed the part where celebrity divorces can look remarkably like group therapy sessions, here’s the breakdown: Remini’s podcast episode timestamp at 12:45 marks where she says Lopez messaged her a bedtime prayer. By 18:20, she’s reading out J.Lo’s exact words: “You got this, one step at a time.” That level of detail comes straight from public records of the show’s transcript, which then circulated via celebrity news outlets.
It’s entertaining, but there’s a takeaway beyond the drama: high-stakes heartbreak still calls for a friend who’ll text back—no VIP lounge required. So next time you see a celeb pairing in a men’s room at an awards show, remember they’re probably texting each other on the side about their latest emotional plot twists.
Glad I could demystify the digital shoulder-pat for you. Hopefully that wasn’t too complicated.
