A source said: “Jen has forgiven her father for leaving them a long time ago. But their relationship has had its ups and downs. She hasn’t spoken to him in years. But since the coronavirus crisis, they’ve been on the phone almost every day. And It’s not about small talk. It’s like she realizes that life is very short and she wants her relationship with John to be the best it can be. He’s happy that they’ve reconciled.”
Her father’s death comes after Jennifer opened up about the pain of her parents’ divorce and how she was able to forgive them.
