SO WHY THE SPLIT?

It seems their worlds-apart personalities coupled with their living arrangement – he was based in New York, where he filmed his TV series The Leftovers for many years, she in her beloved LA – were the main factors.

They’re said to have been bickering for months as Justin, an actor, screenwriter and director, became immersed in the Big Apple’s underground scene.

He was a regular at the city’s hipster bars and restaurants and boasted a big circle of friends ranging from fellow writers and comedians to tattoo artists and dopesmoking rappers. He’s the kind of guy who collects human and animal teeth and has a picture of a girl disfigured by syphilis hanging in his New York pad. And he’s not shy to be photographed smoking weed, unlike his yoga-loving, water-swigging wife. “He’s more nomadic, more of a free spirit – he’s rugged and urban and Jennifer just isn’t that kind of person,” a source told ETOnline. They hadn’t visited each other in months. “He’s been partying with all sorts of people and couldn’t have looked less like a married man,” a source told the UK’s The Sun. “He’s been pretty much living in New York full time and growing close to other people, so it was only a matter of time.” One of them is said to be photographer PETRA COLLINS – dubbed one of the Big Apple’s “It Girls” by Vanity Fair magazine. “Everybody knew Justin and Jen weren’t right for each other,” The Sun insider says. “Everybody except Jen.”
