Ben Affleck is caught in a holiday tug-of-war between ex-wives Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The Batman star, 53, is back on decent terms with J.Lo, 56, following a tense period after their divorce, which was finalized earlier this year, sources said.
However, that's left the singer pushing hard to break bread like old times over the holidays, while reuniting her two kids with the three who Affleck coparents with Garner, sources explained.
Blended Family Plans Spark Holiday Drama
Jennifer Lopez is 'pushing for a holiday reunion with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's children.'
But the Alias beauty, 53, isn't looking to rip up her own holiday plans to accommodate J.Lo, according to pals, who claim the simmering tension is threatening to turn into a full-blown catfight.
An insider confided: "Ben had the exact same issue last year, but wound up finding a solution by splitting his time in L.A. between J.Lo and Garner.
"That's what he's suggested this year, but J.Lo's got her heart set on them doing something special as an extended family.
"She's offered to fly Ben and the kids somewhere tropical, so they can enjoy some R&R in the sunshine, let the kids properly catch up and put an end to any lingering awkwardness between her and Ben."
Premiere Unity Hides Family Divide
Sources said Affleck's kids are missing the company of J.Lo's 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
