The holidays are complicated — even for Ben Affleck!

Despite finalizing their divorce in January, Jennifer Lopez, 56, is eager to spend Thanksgiving with her former husband and stepchildren, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13, an insider tells Globe.

“J.Lo’s offered to fly him and the kids somewhere tropical so they can enjoy R&R in the sunshine, let the children properly catch up with her twins and put an end to any lingering awkwardness between her and Ben,” says the insider of 17-year-old Emme and Max’s mom. “The kids are all for it, they love hanging out with their old stepsiblings.”

Aside from possibly having a new woman in his life, Affleck’s facing pushback on the plans from his kids’ mother, first ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 53.

“She’s not completely comfortable with the idea,” spills the insider. While it would mean some welcome alone time with beau John Miller, “Jen’s telling Ben he needs to figure something else out.”

Being caught between his two famous exes is nothing new for Affleck, 53.

“Ben had the exact same issue last Thanksgiving and wound up splitting his time in L.A. between J.Lo and Jen,” spills the insider. “That’s what he’s suggested this year, but J.Lo’s got her heart set on them doing something extra special.”
