Jen and John: Why they really split

Jen is left picking up the pieces after her latest romantic disaster.

Jennifer Aniston has been left feeling humiliated and used after her romance with John Mayer failed for the second time.

Less than a month after the two appeared at the Academy Awards together, they suddenly called it quits when Jen returned to the US from a European promotional trip for her movie Marley & Me.

Just days before arriving back at her home in Los Angeles, devoted Jen, 40, was spotted shopping for John, 31, at his favourite boutique in Paris, spending more than $1500 on clothes and footwear for him.

“She had a long list of things she knew John wanted,” confirms a source. “She could’ve sent someone else to shop, but she seemed intent on doing it herself.”

Then, within hours of returning to the US, the star was stunned when her relationship came to an abrupt halt. “She called him when she got back, and they decided to end it,” says a friend. “They both wanted different things.”

Despite the reportedly mutually agreed separation, friends say Jen is devastated by the failure of yet another high-profile relationship, having been hurt by actor Vince Vaughn and model Paul Sculfor in the past two years.
