Actress Jennifer Aniston has revealed her struggle with infertility.
Aniston 53, flaunted her incredible figure in a tiny Chanel bra as she was unveiled as cover for the December issue of Allure.
Speaking to Allure she says: “All the years and years and years of speculation… It was really hard. It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.”
She continues: “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.”
Jennifer then addressed public speculation over her fertility, and how some claimed she was “selfish” for not having a child or that it was this that broke up her marriage with Brad Pitt, saying that this narrative was particularly painful for her to hear.
In 2016, Jennifer wrote an op-ed in The Huffington Post, discussing tabloid focus on her being, or not being pregnant, and how this reflected on society’s view of womanhood.
She wrote: “The sheer amount of resources being spent right now by press trying to simply uncover whether or not I am pregnant (for the bajillionth time… but who’s counting) points to the perpetuation of this notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they’re not married with children.”
