Jennifer Aniston had difficulties with her pregnancy attempts. For years, the media spread rumors and framed things as they weren’t, and now she is clearing the air. In a cover story for Allure, she opened up about everything she did to become a mom, even though some stories said that she was not trying.
At 53, Jennifer Aniston acknowledged that the “ship has sailed.” She had some ordinary and unusual attempts for a pregnancy, ranging from teas to in vitro fertilization. None of it worked, and she now has “zero regrets” and is relieved that she doesn’t “have to think about that anymore.”
“I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, “Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.'”
Jennifer Aniston has “zero regrets” over failed pregnancy attempts
Over the years, Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt (2000-05) and Justin Theroux (2015-17), so it is unclear when these pregnancy attempts took place, as she did not specify. Her marriages were, in part, of the media rumors and attacks on her personal life. Stories were written to blame her for the failed marriage, theories on what ended relationships, and theories that she focused more on fame and success rather than having a family. Reflecting on that, she has “nothing to hide at this point.”
“God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child. And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid. It was absolute lies.”
This is not the first time that the Friends star addressed the media’s portrayal of her and her personal life. She wrote an op-ed in 2016 for The Huffington Post to go into how she was “fed up” and “not pregnant.” Now, it was more about how she was labeled as “selfish” got to her, but time has moved on for the actress.
Looking ahead, Jennifer Aniston has moved on from her pregnancy chapter to new things. Lately, she has been focused on her and Reese Witherspoon’s series, The Morning Show, as the next season gets prepared to hit Apple TV+. She will also star in the movies Murder Mystery 2 and Hail Mary.
