Elizabeth Hurley's marital drama isn't quite over yet.

After the model-turned-actress, 45, was photographed kissing Australian cricket player Shane Warne, 41, she Tweeted that she and businessman hubby of three years Arun Nayar had "separated a few months ago." (Warne made a similar announcement about his marriage shortly after.)

But a source tells UsMagazine.com the split wasn't exactly that clean.

"They had been having marriage problems for some time, but Arun wasn't prepared to give up so easily," says the insider. "Liz, on the other hand, gave up and didn't tell her husband. Instead she went out and found someone else and then broke the news to him. He is gutted."

Behind the breakup? "He wanted children so badly," says the insider, while Hurley, who had son Damian with Steve Bing in 2002, "didn't want to go through the pain of IVF. Liz doesn't compromise, everything was her way or no way."

Now, says the source, Nayar is scared he won't be able to see Hurley's son. "He doesn't want to lose Damian," says the insider. "They are so close -- he is 'Daddy' to Damian. And he's embarrassed that his marriage fell apart so publicly. He feels Liz intentionally humiliated him."

As for Hurley's new romance, "It's a rebound," sniffs the insider. "They'll be over before you know it."

    First, Kat, this sort of thing doesn't just happen in Hollywood. It happens all over the world, PARTICULARLY in America. Celebrities' lives are made public whether they want that or not, but they are FAR from the only ones whose marriages break up like this. It's attitudes like yours that are dividing this country. Stop already with the ignorance and judgment, would ya?

    Here's a thought. Get the divorce 1st, then start next the relationship, hence avoiding this public scandal.

    If this story is true, she could have had the decency to say "I'm out, it's not working, no hard feelings, I'm going to do my own thing." You would think after what Hugh Grant did to her, she wouldn't have turned and did the same. Hollywood.

    there are two sides to every story. i am surprised they did not talking about having more kids before getting married. It is too bad that he wanted to work on their problems while she decided for the both of them to start seeing someone else. Marriage is hard work and compromise. And if you can't work at it and comrpromise, then I am aftraid this is the result.
