“We didn’t meet under the best of circumstances.”
“We got counseling and it was not an easy road,” Remini added.
Fortunately, Pagan won extra points with Remini by wearing black socks instead.
But that wasn’t the only time Remini paid close attention to her ex-husband’s style.
“I have an issue seeing men’s parts in their clothes,” she recalled during the taping.
Ultimately, it was noted that an embarrassed Pagan wore a jacket over his shorts to spare his ex-wife.
Initially, Remini was under the impression that he was separated from his wife.
But Pagan not only revealed that he was still married, but he was essentially a serial cheater.
“‘I’m a cheaterand not just with you.
I have been a cheater my whole life,'” Remini remembered Pagan telling her.
What might’ve been seen as a major red flag to some only made Pagan even more attractive.
She felt he should continue being with his wife, and recommended that the two seek counseling.
The counseling did help, but perhaps not in the way Remini might’ve expected.
The therapy Pagan received convinced him that Remini was the woman he was meant to be with.
But it was also one of her hardest decisions.
Remini had been a part of the organization since she was eight.
She stayed with Scientology for more than 30 years before leaving the church in 2013.
Her daughter with Angelo Pagan, Sofia, was a huge inspiration behind Remini’s decision to leave.
However, Remini felt such a drastic lifestyle change would’ve upset Pagan at the time.
She was willing to leave Scientology even if doing so might cause a rift between herself and her family.
Like Remini posted onInstagram, she wasn’t the same person Pagan wedded all those years ago and vice-versa.
