While speculation underneath the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt relationship now claims that now Jennifer Aniston (newly single and split from John Mayer) is coming between Brad and Angie, most everyone points to the "Tomb Raider" hottie for triggering the Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt split years ago. But, the Enquirer is claiming it has learned from a source that it was Jen who pulled the plug on the 4 1/2 year marriage. According to an insider, cited in the story, Jen and Brad - who tied the knot in a splashy Malibu wedding in July 2000 - were having problems long before he flipped for Angelina while filming the action flick "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

Triggering Jennifer Aniston Split: Don't Blame Angelina jolie

"Jen was champing at the bit to divorce Brad long before they announced their separation in January 2005," said the insider. "“When Brad revealed the depth of his relationship with Angelina, it was painful for Jen, but she was almost relieved."


The report adds that the once-tight golden couple had drifted apart due to career demands. Besides that, their $22 million dream home in Beverly Hills turned into a total disaster, said the source. "They spent years pulling it together, yet they spent little or no time in it as a couple," explained the insider. “It was a big drafty mess that had, for the most part, been designed by Brad. But it was very nonfunctional, and Jen hated it.”

In the end, Brad's love affair with Angelina gave Jen an 'out' for ending the marriage, said the source. m The couple had no prenuptial agreement, and the divorce was “pretty much a 50/50 California split,” said divorce attorney Seymour Reisman, who has handled numerous high profile and celebrity divorces.
