Jennifer has put her baby plans on hold for her boyfriend Justin Theroux.

The actress has expressed her desire to start a family in the past but will now wait until her partner is ready to have children.

A source told Grazia magazine that the A-lister is happy to wait.

"Justin was open from the start that he wasn't looking to start a family anytime soon and far from being a deal-breaker, which it once would have been, Jen has realised that she's OK with that.”

However the couple went through a rough patch earlier this year when it was rumoured that Justin was in touch with his ex girlfriend Heidi Bivens.

The source said: “She had no idea he was still in touch with Heidi until recently, when she caught him texting her from their Hollywood home.

He tried to shrug it off by saying it was no big deal, but Jen can’t believe he would do it behind her back, and it make her wonder what else he’s hiding from her. She understandably feels very threatened by Heidi.”

The couple were thought to be engaged when Jennifer was seen wearing a large diamond on her finger.

The couple was believed to be scouting out wedding venues earlier this summer.
