It seems that Jennifer Aniston has a supportive crew of exes behind her after she gave the heartbreaking reason why she is childless.
The actress, who graces the cover of Allure‘s December issue, spoke for the first time about her lengthy struggles with infertility.
Jennifer Aniston’s riveting interview sparked an intense debate among men and women who have not been able to achieve their dreams of becoming parents.
However, it also garnered reactions from her ex-husbands, Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.
The former Friends actress took to her official Instagram page, where she shared the steamy photo featured on her Allure cover, and Justin Theroux showed up in the comment section to show some love and support.
Theroux left this comment supporting his former spouse: “👊 ❤️.”
A source close to Brad Pitt said he was proud that Jennifer Aniston did the tell-all interview and finally shared her side of the story.
The insider added: “Brad respects Jennifer’s decision to come clean about her struggles with infertility. The two of them have had their ups and downs, and they are very much friends today.”
During the sit-down, Jennifer Aniston confirmed that she pined for a child and tried everything under the sun to achieve that goal when she was married to Brad Pitt.
She did not say if she also attempted IVF when she was with Justin Theroux.
Aniston made this heartbreaking confession: “I was trying to get pregnant. 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 also stated that she was deeply hurt by the narrative that painted her as selfish.
She claimed: “I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child. 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 an absolute lie. I don’t have anything to hide at this point.”
Aniston concluded by saying that she has closed the baby-making chapter and has “zero regrets” about how her life turned out.
