Ray was my partner in crime on Shades of Blue,” she captioned a series of photos of her with the late actor. “The first thing that comes to mind is he was so kind to my children. Ray was the epitome of a tough guy who was all mushy on the inside… I guess that’s what made him such a compelling actor to watch. The original Goodfella.”

Jennifer continued, “We shared some intense moments on set those three years! When I first heard he took the job on Shades of Blue, I was thrilled, and the first time we walked on set to do our first scene together there was an electric spark and a mutual respect and we both knew this was going to be good.”

She went on to say that they “enjoyed doing [their] scenes together” and she “felt lucky to have him there to work with and learn from.

“Like all artists he was complicated, sincere, honest and so very emotional,” the 52-year-old singer added. “Like a raw nerve, he was so accessible and so in touch in his acting and I will always remember our time together fondly. We lost a great today … RIP RAY … it’s so sad to lose you what seems way to soon … I will remember you always. Sending so much love and strength to your daughter Karsen, your family and all your loved ones.”
