How Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Plan to Spend Their First Christmas Together as a Blended Family
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are revving up to spend their first holiday season as newlyweds.
"Ben and Jen have been having so much fun getting ready for Christmas," a source told Entertainment Tonight. "Jen's favorite holiday is Christmas, so she always goes all out, but this is a really exciting time for them as a couple since it's their first Christmas as husband and wife. Ben and Jen picked out and decorated a huge tree with the help of their children. Their home feels festive and looks gorgeous with decorations and everything lit up."
They were even spotted Christmas tree shopping as a family earlier this month.
The insider added that the "On the Floor" singer "wants this year to be even more special than usual and to make new traditions of their own, both as a family and with Ben."
The couple will reportedly spend Christmas with their respective children and Lopez's family. Lopez shares 14-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares 17-year-old Violet, 13-year-old Seraphina, and 10-year-old Samuel with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
"They are planning to spend the holidays together with the kids and Jen's family," the source continued. "Jen, her mom, and her sister are all amazing cooks, so they're looking forward to being with each other and eating amazing food."
As for gifts, J.Lo has picked out some things for Ben and wants to spoil him.
The insider said, "Ben is planning on giving Jen a couple of things that are special and sentimental that have taken him a long time to find. He is also planning on giving her beautiful jewelry and a couple of big things that are surprises."
A post-Christmas vacation "is in the works," according to the source. The two have been "talking about the possibility of going on a trip just the two of them to get some rest and relaxation."
Lopez and Affleck officially tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas wedding ceremony back in July. They later celebrated their nuptials with a lavish Georgia wedding ceremony in August.
