Jennifer Aniston shocked the world when she opened up to Allure about her infertility struggles and past IVF attempts. Her interview ultimately shut down speculation that she ended her marriage to Brad Bitt because she never wanted kids. Since the admission of her infertility struggles went viral, several celebrities, including Kaley Cuoco and Jennifer’s ex-husband Justin Theroux have lauded her bravery, showing support for the actress.
Fans have also sent out heartfelt messages to Jennifer Aniston, who has admittedly accepted the reality of her failed IVF attempts. Despite resigning herself to never having kids again, the star has reached a good place in her journey, where she is at peace with herself. Speaking to People, an insider addressed why the Friends star chose to open up about her infertility struggles at this point, saying:
“She’s 53 now and knows the [children] ship has sailed. So why not.”
Jennifer Aniston echoed this assertion earlier during her interview with Allure detailing her infertility struggles. She confirmed to the publication that she had no regrets about how things turned out. Contrariwise, since the ship had sailed, she felt relieved, knowing she never had to think about whether or not conceiving was a possibility for her again.
Jennifer Aniston Is Happy With Her Life After IVF Fail
Another source discussed how Jennifer Aniston has fared since pulling the plug on her IVF attempts. The insider pointed out that the star has always been happy and considered her dogs her kids. According to the source, those close to the actress knew about her struggles but never asked as they understood it was her private journey. The source added:
“But she’s at peace and is very happy in her life. She’s in a great place, and she knows that. Kids or no kids, it didn’t change her.”
Despite her commendable positivity, the icon admitted that the “baby-making” journey was challenging. While she had no regrets about the outcome, she couldn’t but wish someone had told her beforehand to freeze her eggs, to preserve them for possible future conception.
Jennifer’s recent admission has taken the media by surprise. This is mostly a result of the widely held speculation that the Friends star chose her career over having kids, ultimately orchestrating her divorce from Brad Pitt all those years ago. Seeing how many struggles she went through to conceive and several repeated failures, one can only imagine the disheartening impact of the harsh words and speculations over the years.
