In the past, Aniston was subject to constant pregnancy speculation, which she brushed off with grace. But now, Aniston revealed that she was actually trying very hard to have a baby at that time, and the public scrutiny only added to her hardships. Speaking with Allure, Aniston said of her 30s and 40s, “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 favor.’ You just don’t think it.” “So here I am today. The ship has sailed,” she noted. It’s brutal and brave honesty from Aniston, who added, “I have zero regrets. 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.” While Aniston has come to terms with her personal path in life and who she is, she also shared how tough it was to be dealing with all of this personally, while at the same time, being criticized by the public for not having kids. She recalled the “narrative that I was just selfish. I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child.” She also touched on rumors that not wanting a child led to her split with ex-husband Brad Pitt, noting, “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.” “I don’t have anything to hide at this point,” she explained. Even with Aniston’s admittance that she did try to have children over the years, if she just didn’t want to have kids—as much of the public assumed—she should never have been condemned or judged for it either way. Fortunately, Aniston sees these experiences as a major reason that she is the person she is today. “My late 30s, 40s, I’d gone through really hard shit, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be. That’s why I have such gratitude for all those shitty things. Otherwise, I would’ve been stuck being this person that was so fearful, so nervous, so unsure of who they were,” she declared. More News:
