The heated conversation occurred just after the couple dropped their children — Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Samuel, 4 — at school.

"Ben and Jen were talking in the car," one witness told In Touch. "There was a lot of gesturing, and it seemed intense. Jen looked really upset, like she was crying. Ben seemed both detached and, at other times, like he was reaching out to her."

Further, an insider revealed just days earlier Ben finally pulled the trigger on his and Jennifer's strained 11-year marriage, and told her he is ready to end things.

"The divorce is moving forward — their business managers are hashing out their finances right now — and Ben wants to get on with his life," the insider said. "Jen started crying when Ben told, but he's had enough."
