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’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.”
