American actress and film producer, Jennifer Aniston has opened up about the struggles she faced while trying to have a child.
Jennifer Aniston Reveals Ivf Attempts And Fertility Struggles
Following all the tabloid pregnancy rumours throughout her time in the spotlight, Jennifer Aniston is revealing for the first time that amidst all that public poking about something so personal, she had privately tried to get pregnant, but it wasn’t successful.
In an interview with Allure Magazine, she said, “I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road. All the years and years and years of speculation.
It was really hard. 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 favour.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”
Despite everything she went through, Jennifer Aniston told Allure, “I have zero regrets.”
She added, “I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.’ I don’t have to think about that anymore. I’ve spent so many years protecting my story about IVF, I’m so protective of these parts because I feel like there’s so little that I get to keep to myself. … I don’t have anything to hide.”
Jennifer Aniston also reflected on how her private life was dissected by the media speculating on whether she wanted to have children.
She said there were false narratives she was selfish and only cared about her career. Another baseless storyline was that her marriage failed because she would not get pregnant.
Just so you know, Jennifer Aniston was married to actor, Brad Pitt in 2000 but filed for divorce in 2005. Then, she married another actor, Justin Theroux in 2015 and they divorced in 2017.
Speaking about the false reports about her in the media, the actress said, “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 lie. I don’t have anything to hide at this point.”
