Setting the Record Straight and Finding Peace

For years, Jennifer Aniston has faced intense public scrutiny over her choice not to have children. Many tabloids suggested she had put her career ahead of motherhood — a claim she’s repeatedly dismissed. “That’s not anybody’s business,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “But there comes a point when you can’t not hear it — the narrative that I won’t have a baby or a family because I’m selfish or a workaholic. It does affect me. I’m just a human being.”

Aniston later clarified that she did undergo IVF treatments, describing them as a long and difficult process. “They didn’t know my story or what I’d been going through for the past 20 years,” she said. “I knew a lot of women at the time dealing with IVF, so it felt like I was speaking not only for myself but for them too.”

The Emmy-winning actress, now 56, has been married twice — first to Brad Pitt (2000–2005) and later to Justin Theroux (2015–2017). According to The New York Post, she is currently dating hypnotist Jim Curtis.

Through all the ups and downs, Aniston says she’s learned to embrace peace and acceptance: “Whatever the plan was, it just wasn’t meant to be — and I’m finally okay with that.”
