Jennifer Aniston has finally addressed the decades-long pregnancy speculation that has followed her career, revealing the profound emotional toll of constant media scrutiny and her personal journey with fertility treatments.
The beloved actress, now 55, opened up about the painful reality behind the headlines that dominated tabloids throughout her 30s and 40s. "I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was trying everything," Aniston disclosed, describing her determined efforts to conceive.
The Heavy Weight of Public Speculation
Aniston expressed frustration at how the narrative was consistently framed around her choice to prioritise career over family, rather than acknowledging the complex medical and emotional challenges she faced. "I've never spoken about this publicly," she revealed, explaining her decision to break her silence after years of private struggle.
The constant pregnancy rumours became particularly painful during her marriage to Brad Pitt, with Aniston noting how the media created a "narrative that I was just selfish... that I only cared about my career."
Changing the Conversation Around Women's Health
Aniston hopes that by sharing her story, she can help destigmatise conversations around fertility and challenge the outdated assumptions still made about women's lives and choices.
"God forbid a woman is successful and doesn't have a child," she remarked, highlighting the double standards that continue to persist in how society judges women's life paths compared to men's.
Her candid revelations come as part of a broader movement of women in the public eye speaking out about their fertility experiences, helping to normalise discussions that were once considered strictly private.
