She said: 'It took until, really, the end of the shoot for us, I think, to realize that it might mean something more than we'd earlier allowed ourselves to believe. 

'And both knowing that the reality of that was a big thing, something that was going to take a lot of serious consideration.' 

The couple now have six children together, Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine, and twins Knox and Vivienne, who just turned seven.  

Jennifer told the Hollywood Reporter some years after the break-up: 'Nobody did anything wrong. 'You know what I mean?

'It was just like, sometimes things [happen]. If the world only could just stop with the stupid, soap-opera b******t. There’s no story. I mean, at this point it’s starting to become—please, give more credit to these human beings.'
