Charlotte Church's fiance Gavin Henson couldn't deal with her newfound success.
The rugby star - who became engaged to the 'Crazy Chick' singer just two months ago - is said to have been unable to "accept" how well her career was going after shedding weight and joining the judging panel on BBC1 talent search show 'Over The Rainbow'.
A source said: "Charlotte and Gavin have always had jealous rows, but they've become worse in the last six months.
"He couldn't accept that her career has taken off again, while his is on hold. All he did was dictate his opinions and criticise her being too thin and looking tired. In the end Charlotte snapped and told him she wouldn't take his c**p anymore."
The insider added the 28-year-old sportsman continued to berate Charlotte even when other people were applauding her success.
The source said: "Gavin was dragging Charlotte down when everyone else was applauding her. She worked her socks off to get back on top. They have two beautiful children and an amazing life, but all he seemed to do was sulk because she brought in more money than he did.
"Their engagement was her entertaining a fantasy before their relationship died. All the trust and support was gone."
In a statement released when they split last week, a spokesperson confirmed the showbiz couple would do all they could do "minimise the impact" of the break up on their children Ruby, two and 16-mont-old Dexter.
The statement read: "They are trying their hardest to deal with this difficult time for both of them in a way which will minimise the impact on their two young children.
"They fully intend to work together and cooperate in ensuring there is as little disruption as possible to the children's lives."
