But when 36-year-old Vince heard about her plans, pals say he couldn't bear not being a part of Jen's life. "It kills him to think about her bringing a child home on her own," says an insider.

"Vince really does want to get married and have kids. He adores children and has always maintained Jen would make a fabulous mum," says a pal.

But despite Vince's claims he's willing to quit his single lifestyle, Jen's friends aren't so sure the actor will be able to change. The pair's romance was continuously dogged by rumours of Vince's wild ways.

Insiders say Jen has spent the past few weeks in talks with adoption experts. "She longs for a baby girl — but she's not intending to stop at one. She has decided on two ... and if the opportunity to take a boy comes first, she'll wait for the girl."
