Remini was in good company as others close to the couple also didn’t make it to Riceboro, GA for the big day.

Neither Ben’s brother Casey Affleck nor ex-wife Jennifer Garner were able to make it to the ceremony.

An invitation was extended to Garner — who shares Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, and Sam, 11, with the Boston native — but work commitments kept her in Texas.

Sofia is Leah’s only child with husband Angelo Pagan, whom she married in 2003 before welcoming Sofia in 2004.

During this year, she has taken to social media several times to gulp about her daughter.

Sharing a photo with the young woman on her prom, she said on Instagram: ‘Last night was Sofia’s senior prom. The senior year is full of exciting milestones, but that doesn’t make it any less sad for parents when we wonder how the time flew by so quickly.

‘Angelo and I couldn’t be prouder of the young woman Sofia is becoming. But I need this process to slow down.’

And on her 18th birthday, she thought: ‘Today our daughter turns 18 and will be going to college soon.’

She addressed her directly, ‘Sofia Bella, I can honestly say that I have never known love until the day I held you in my arms. I am crying as I try to post something here to tell you how much you have given me. Making me your mother has been my greatest honor. Dad and I adore you.’

Leah and Jen first struck up a friendship more than ten years ago when they were introduced by Jennifer’s ex-husband Marc Anthony.

The former Scientologist attended a film premiere with her husband Angelo Pagan, where she met the multi-hyphenate performer for the first time.

“So we went to the premiere hoping she would be ugly in real life,” Remini told Entertainment Tonight in 2018.

And then as I approached her, I thought, “I hope it’s the lighting. Maybe she just looks good in here,” and as I got closer, I thought, “Oh hell, there’s a lot of light right here . and she looks really beautiful.”

She continued: ‘I even said that! I said, “Damn, why the hell why are you so damn beautiful?” And she laughed.

“I was like, “Uh, I hope she’s stupid, you know? I thought, “She could be stupid!” I wanted to find something and I didn’t.

“And we fell in love right there,” Lopez added.
