She shared that getting pregnant was not an easy task for her and it was a challenging journey. She underwent IVF treatment several years ago and tried everything possible including consuming Chinese teas. The constant speculation about her pregnancy made the journey even tougher for her.
The performer expressed regret that she didn’t preserve her eggs when she was younger, acknowledging that she has now accepted the reality that she will never bear children. She stated that she would have done anything if someone had advised her to freeze her eggs for her own benefit, but it never crossed her mind. Despite being married to Brad Pitt for five years, Jennifer, who starred in the sitcom Friends for ten years, revealed that she was too focused on her profession to consider the possibility of settling down and having children in the future. She also spoke out against the constant scrutiny she faced for not getting pregnant during her marriage, asserting that her husband did not leave her because she refused to have a child. At this point, she claims that she has nothing to hide.
Following her marriage to Justin, who is currently 51 years old, she faced additional scrutiny, with rumors circulating during their 2017 separation that her inability to bear children was a contributing factor. People magazine reported in February of 2018, after they had made their divorce public, that the couple had attempted to have children but were unsuccessful. One insider revealed that Jennifer felt a sense of sadness that it didn’t happen, but it did not consume her. Speaking to Allure, the actress stated that she has accepted that having children is not in her future, and she feels a sense of relief in not having the possibility of raising children constantly looming over her as an open-ended “what if.”
As time goes by, the actress has developed a newfound confidence in herself. She no longer worries about what others think or say about her, a positive change that stemmed from the hardships she faced in her late 30s and 40s. These struggles were tough, but they ultimately helped her become the person she was meant to be.
