We now turn from the tsunami story for this breaking news: Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are breaking up their marriage.

The reason for the breakup, (US editor Janice) Min says, was Pitt’s very vocal desire to start a family. Pitt even bonded with his Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie’s 3-year-old son, Maddox, Min says.

Children were an issue in the split, but for a different reason, says (People west coast editor Todd) Gold, who talked to friends of the couple. “Jennifer did not want to get pregnant and have a child until she was absolutely certain about the relationship.”

Note to Hollywood, which is obvious to everyone else: You are supposed to be certain about the relationship before you get married.
