Brad & Jen: Why They Split
Hollywood's golden couple call an end to their storybook romance. What happened?

Monday Jan 10, 2005







When the foursome had dinner at RumZa, an Anguilla club, Cox and Arquette "were very affectionate," says one observer, while Pitt and Aniston were more reserved. "I never saw them touch during the entire meal," says the observer. "They seemed more like they were on a first date." As the couple left the club, they spotted photographers outside. "They put their arms around each other and had these big smiles on their faces like they were incredibly happy," says the observer. "It was the opposite of the couple I'd seen inside."
So what went wrong exactly? According to several sources, it became increasingly difficult for the couple to balance work and family. Ever since they exchanged lavishly romantic wedding vows in July 2000, they have been dogged by the Baby Question. As recently as last month, Pitt told Diane Sawyer of his hopes for the near future. "God, I'm going to say it: Kids. Family. I'm thinking family. Yeah. I got family on the mind."

Although Aniston has expressed similar desires in the past, one source who recently spoke to the actress notes, "She has been resisting having a child for a number of reasons. One was her career. Also, she wanted to make sure that [the marriage] would last. There was a little doubt that crept in. He was much more interested in having a child. I think it was Jen that broke it off. He was a half step behind her."
