Jennifer Aniston's relationship with model Paul Sculfor ended because she wanted to start a family, it has been claimed.

The 38-year-old actress reportedly called time on her fledgling romance with the former builder because he didn't share her desire to settle down and have children.

A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Jen and Paul's relationship had been moving very quickly and she decided she'd better make sure she knew where it was going and sat him down for a serious heart-to-heart."

"Sadly, after explaining her wishes for a family, it seems she realized Paul was not at the same stage in his life."

Friends of the 36-year-old Essex-born model claim Paul didn't feel ready to commit to becoming a father so soon into his two-month relationship with Jennifer.

An insider said: "Paul wants to throw all his energy into his work. It was pretty clear they were going in different directions."

"I think most men would see it as a huge step to take with someone they hadn't been dating for long."

Jennifer and Paul were first introduced by Hollywood actor David Arquette, the husband of Jennifer's close friend Courteney Cox, and started dating in May.
