'His worst fear': Ben Affleck might have to 'play referee' as Jennifer Lopez-Jennifer Garner feud escalates, says source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: There is buzz that the continuous dispute between the two Jennifers in Ben Affleck's life is about to escalate into a major altercation. As per reported claims, the spark was lit when Ben's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, subtly chastised his present spouse, Jennifer Lopez, for making the 'Batman' stud a laughingstock.
Although a person with knowledge of the matter rejected the allegations, other reports claimed that J Lo, 53, would now love to express her emotions after Garner, 51, admitted she doesn't like to see tales about the power couple published.

'A real F-you' for J Lo
When asked about her and Ben, 50, Garner said, "I really work hard not to see either of us in the press." Garner added, "It doesn't make me feel good, even if it's something nice about one of us. I don't need to see anyone in my family made into a meme. Although, I'm sure he's quite meme-worthy, yes!"
What might appear to be a casual comment is actually "a real F-you as far as J Lo sees it," the insider revealed. The source said, "It's Jennifer's way of saying Ben looks miserable and all his appearances in public are lame. How could J Lo not take it personally?"
'It's Ben's worst fear'
The source added, "Part of her wants to fire back and tell Jennifer off, but she's smart enough not to make too much of a scene publicly. So it'll be up to Ben to play referee." Caught between his diva wife and the mother of his children Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11, the 'Air' hottie is now in a terrible situation. The insider outright declared, "It's Ben's worst fear. It's just a matter of time before those two women butt heads."
Nicotine trouble in paradise
Insiders say that while it was previously known that the '13 Going On 30' actress was focused on helping her children get along well with their new stepmom, things may have changed as Garner became Ben's support system amid his allegedly ongoing troubles with J Lo. The married couple has reportedly been "fighting" since saying "I do" last summer, according to sources who spoke to RadarOnline.com.
They also said J Lo is not pleased with her husband's attempts to kick his long-standing nicotine habit. As an eyewitness said, Ben has been chewing nicotine gum 24/7 despite promising his wife he would stop smoking. "Jen says it bothers her to look at Ben and see he's constantly chewing his cud," the insider said, as per reports.
