In July 2015, Remini talked about the audition she had with the Grown Ups star.

“He made me laugh in the first two seconds of meeting him. It was just instant chemistry. Really, Kevin was the reason I did [the show], Kevin was very disarming when I walked in the room. Kevin smiles with his eyes, and there’s something so sweet and warm about somebody like [that]… Their soul comes out. He was one of those people to me. So, I fell in love with him, and he was my ‘husband’ for 10 years.”

After the news was out, Leah and Kevin, 51, both took to Twitter to have a little fun. Leah retweeted CBS’ tweet and added, “Can’t wait for #KevinCanWait.” Kevin also tweeted,

“My old wife meets my new wife. Awkward. #LeahReminiOnKevinCanWait.”

These two are just the cutest!
