“10 years after the Train wreck high and success that started giving her the career she expected for herself, she's looking to get that back and see if lightning strikes twice for a big movie career,” the source said The Daily Mail.
“With those career goals and being a mother, she didn't focus much on her marriage to succeed.
“But that's the life she's chasing, and the life she's chosen to take into the new year. She's realized you can't have everything and the thing that hurt the most was her marriage. Now she's trying to figure it all out one day at a time.”
