Actor Jennifer Aniston has opened up about her experience with infertility, her decision not to adopt, and the challenges she has faced in the public eye. In a recent episode of the ‘Armchair Expert’ podcast, Aniston, 56, discussed her thoughts on motherhood and addressed years of speculation regarding her family plans. She spoke candidly about trying various methods to start a family, including in vitro fertilisation (IVF), and responded to public commentary about her choices.
On the podcast, Aniston addressed suggestions about adoption, saying, “When people say, ‘But you can adopt,’ I don’t want to adopt,” ‘The Morning Show’ star told cohosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman, per People. She explained her desire for a biological connection: “I want my own DNA in a little person. That’s the only way, selfish or not, whatever that is, I’ve wanted it.”
Aniston has been open about her efforts to conceive, recalling the lengths she went to during her fertility journey. She said, “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.” She added, “I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.’ You just don’t think [about] it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”
When Monica Padman asked about finding peace, Aniston responded, “It’s so peaceful. But I will say there’s a point where it’s, like, out of my control. There’s literally nothing I can do about it.” She acknowledged the process of accepting her circumstances and the sense of calm she now feels.
