Jennifer Aniston was reportedly so convinced her husband Brad Pitt didn't fancy her - it tore her marriage apart.

According to friends, the beautiful actress, who has suffered low self-esteem since being an overweight teenager, was convinced the handsome actor's love for her was a freak accident.

The 'Friends' star was so insecure she reportedly spent hours fearing she would lose Brad to someone else.

A close friend of the actress revealed: "She was chubby as a teenager and still believes she's a fat waitress who landed the world's sexiest man by accident. She always feared she'd wake up from the dream."

The couple's different backgrounds - Jennifer hasn't spoken to her mother, ex-model Nancy, for almost ten years - is also thought to have contributed to the breakdown of their four-year marriage.

The insider added in an interview with Britain's Closer magazine: "Jen's background couldn't be more different from Brad's. He's from a close-knit family, while she's a product of a neurotic broken home.

"Jen believes a problem shared is a problem halved and she drove friends crazy going over things, but the one person she should have talked to was Brad. He loved her to pieces, yet she pushed him away."
