Leah Remini's 'tough character' has been great for Jennifer Lopez amid her sad split.

Lopez’s on-off pal Leah Remini is among the group of confidantes the “On the Floor” singer has been surrounding herself with amid the split, as the two women made amends after the breakup. Remini has been a lifesaver when it comes to boosting Lopez’s confidence during this tough time.

“Leah is an extremely tough character. She’s had to be after all the stress she’s endured at the hands of Scientology,” the insider spilled. “Her no-nonsense, don’t take any crap kind of attitude is music to J.Lo’s ears right now because she spent so many months being tortured by Ben over the prospect of a potential reunion.”

Though “marrying Ben” apparently “pretty much ruined their friendship the last couple of years,” Remini and Lopez are thick as thieves again, said the source.

“They’re back on great terms again and closer than ever and she’s now assumed being J.Lo’s de facto divorce coach,” the confidante dished. “She’s more than happy to take it on and give her all the support she needs.”

“Leah isn’t a vengeful person, but she’s also never afraid to speak her mind, so Ben would be smart not to do anything more to upset J.Lo,” the source noted. “Leah’s going through her own break-up right now, although it’s very amicable by all accounts, but still the timing is good because she can be by J.Lo’s side non-stop and they can help each other with their new normal.”

Since the two actresses are both having relationship woes, a second insider mentioned that they've been able to hold each other up.

“Jennifer wanted her friend’s support. However, Leah saw the writing on the wall and straight out told her marrying Ben was a bad idea,” they revealed. “Ironically, the timing couldn’t have been better. Now they have each other to lean on.”
