Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez are now friends.
The movie stars, who were both at Governors Ball in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, are on good terms with each other after a frosty phase more than 25 years ago.
‘They are doing OK, they are friends,’ said a source told Daily Mail. ‘There is no frost, no bad vibes, they are good.’
This comes after Lopez put down Paltrow in a 1998 Movieline magazine interview where she said the blonde was better known for her boyfriend Brad Pitt than her numerous films.
Daily Mail has also learned that on December 3 they will be in each other’s company at The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women In Entertainment breakfast gala held at The Beverly Hills Hotel.
Both will be handed awards at the morning event: Lopez will receive this year’s Equity in Entertainment Award and Paltrow is getting the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award.

In the same interview JLo also talked about some of the other actresses who were also at the height of fame at the time, like Cameron Diaz, Madonna, Winona Ryder and Salma Hayek in the famous interview conducted by screenwriter Stephen Rebello, who wrote the movie Hitchcock which starred Anthony Hopkins.
