Jennifer Aniston reportedly was trying to have kids until the bitter end of her relationship with former hubby Brad Pitt, a published report claims.

There was much talk that the reason the couple eventually split in January 2005 was that Jen didn't want kids.

Jen wanted kids says friend

Not so according to a Jen friend.

Page Six details in an item:

A friend of Aniston's told us: "Brad made it seem to the world that he wanted kids and Jen didn't. That is a lie. They were trying for kids almost until the end." To make matters worse, when Angelina Jolie and Pitt decided to announce their pregnancy, Aniston found out a day before the media because someone in the office of Pitt's PR woman, Cindy Guagenti, called and told her.

"Brad wasn't going to bother telling her at all. He didn't see why he had to. One of their mutual friends intervened and insisted, so he made his publicist do it. Nice, huh?"

The pal says of Jolie: "Angelina probably has no idea what Brad is really like. She'll find out eventually."

Aniston's rep declined to comment, while Guagenti said: "I didn't call Jennifer."

No matter now. Brad and Angie are well on their way to gathering a brood of kids, Brad once said he wants seven and Angie is rumored to want a bakers dozen.
