How Jennifer Lopez and pal Loren Ridinger ‘grieved’ Ben Affleck divorce, husband’s death together

Jennifer Lopez and Loren Ridinger were there for each other during their respective heartbreaks.

Ridinger tells Page Six that Lopez was her rock after the sudden death of her husband, Miami socialite JR Ridinger, in August 2022 — and that she repaid the favor when the singer divorced Ben Affleck two years later.

“She has been such an incredible friend for me through this — and a longtime friend,” Loren, 56, tells us. “One of my longest friends.”

“At the beginning of the book, we are going to [her] wedding and at the end of the book we are dealing with her grief,” she says.

“I think together we were able to lift each other up which was remarkable,” Loren continues. “She is so strong. She is amazing.”
