Ben Affleck & Jennifer Lopez Are Already Planning For the Holidays Together as a Family

The kids just went back to school, but Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck aren’t wasting any time planning the holidays together. Of course, this time around looks much different than the first time they dated because they each have a family to include in their celebrations.

That means making sure 13-year-old twins Max and Emme, from Lopez’s marriage to Marc Anthony, and Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, Affleck’s children from his union to Jennifer Garner, are well taken care of. “They plan on spending the holidays together with the kids and also taking some solo trips,” a source shared with ET. “They want to be together all of the time, so their next big things are Thanksgiving and Christmas with all the kids. There is a lot to coordinate, so they are figuring it out.” The kids will need to spend time with their other side of the family in addition to Bennifer, so we imagine there is a master calendar to plan everything perfectly.
