Jessica sent Nick a Dear John Email

Apparently when it comes to breaking up, stars often have as much courage to break up face-to-face as do the rest of us – which by the way is Nadda!

Sources tell US that Jessica sent Nick an e-mail on November 23 about her plans to go public with the news that their union was coming to an end. “She had had enough of the marriage and the fighting,” the magazine quotes a source as saying. “She just wanted it to be over.”

Another source close to Nick tells US that he was blindsided. “He feels like he was sucker-punched. He wasn’t even expecting it. He was devastated.”

Complete details of the Nick and Jessica Split can be found in the latest issue of US Weekly, out on newsstands Friday
