Ex at work

I'm posting here because I want some opinions on if I'm overreacting or if this would make you uncomfortable too.

I've been seeing a guy at work for 3 months, it's getting serious and he would like to make it official.
However his ex has also just started working in the same department (she had always worked there but now works in close proximity to us) They still get along and joke around sometimes and I can feel myself getting jealous and struggling with this, I've never been in a situation like this before and I guess this is also my fault for getting involved with someone at work.
He is upfront and honest and tells me I have nothing to worry about.
Just to add he also still has a box of her stuff at his house in his bedroom, They've broke up 2 years ago. Apparently he says she's always says she will come and get it but never has. He also has said he needs to get rid of it but never has, he's a bit of a hoarder in general though. This does does make me uncomfortable.
I'm not overreacting right?
Should I just run?
I really like him though.

Yes he could have sorted it if he wanted

Dont ditch him, communicate tell him you want the box gone. His reaction will tell you all you need to know

It doesn't sound like dating someone at work is right for you. If you are going to mix work and personal life like that then you have got to be able to compartmentalise otherwise what happens if you get more involved and then break up. Would you be able to continue working with him and being professional?
