Speculation about the private life of Jennifer Aniston, and in particular her relationship to motherhood, has been legion since her debut in

Friends

.

After more than two decades of silence, the actress has decided to “come out of hibernation” and tell the story of her struggle to get pregnant.

A "difficult path", which never succeeded.


“It was a tough road for me, having a baby.

Nobody knew anything about it.

All those years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard.

I did IVF, I drank Chinese teas, and so on.

I have tried everything.

I would have given everything if someone had told me: "Freeze your eggs. Take the lead".

But we don't think about it.

And here is where I am today.

It's too late, ”explained the 53-year-old star to Allure magazine, which devotes a long subject to her.

Misogyny and cruelty

If she says she is “relieved” today to “no longer have to think about it” and that she has “no regrets” to have tried everything, the star of the

Morning Show

denounced the relentlessness of the tabloids and their most abject assumptions.

“The angle of their articles was to say that I was selfish.

I was only interested in my career and the reason my husband (Brad Pitt) left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage was because I didn't want to give him a child .

They were absolute lies,” she said.

"I feel like I'm coming out of hibernation"

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were married from 2000 to 2005. Shortly after their divorce, the actor confirmed his relationship with Angelina Jolie, met on the set of

Mr & Mrs Smith

in 2004, and with whom he had six children.

The interpreter of Rachel in the cult sitcom then married Justin Theroux in 2015. Their divorce was finalized two years later. 

"It's considered a disgrace for a woman to be successful without having children," added Jennifer Aniston.

I've spent so many years protecting my IVF story (...) The world creates stories that aren't true, so might as well tell the truth.

I feel like I'm coming out of hibernation.

I have nothing to hide.
