Everyone's favourite single gal Jennifer Aniston is reportedly taking a much needed break from men after a soul-searching holiday in Mexico.

The heartbroken star headed out to sunny shores for some much needed R&R to clear her head after a very public split from singer John Mayer.

A friend tells The Sun that Jen has confessed, “I just need to spend time with myself for a bit. I know people look at me and say I have the perfect life with the career and the money.

“But it all can seem a little hollow if you don’t have someone to share it with. That sounds like a cliché, but it is so true. Maybe I should just become a nun."

Jen's history of failed relationships dates back to 2005 when she split from ex-husband Brad Pitt – who is now building Hollywood's youngest celebrity army with partner Angelina Jolie.

“When I married Brad, I thought it was for life and we’d certainly have kids," she reportedly said.

"If you had told me when I was 25 that I’d still be unmarried and childless at 40, I’d have laughed in your face.

"I need to do some inner work on myself, to really get centered."
