Jennifer Aniston is setting the record straight about how public opinion has affected her over the years, especially when it comes to having a baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey didn\u2019t know my story, or what I\u2019d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family because I don\u2019t go out there and tell them my medical woes,” she said about the mainstream media in a lengthy new interview with Harper’s Bazaar<\/a>. <\/p>\n The actress dodged pregnancy rumors <\/a>with grace for decades, and she\u2019s playfully brushed off the public pressure to become a mother<\/a> on many occasions. Privately, however, she had been undergoing IVF treatments for years that were unsuccessful. <\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s not anybody\u2019s business. But there comes a point when you can\u2019t not hear it \u2014 the narrative about how I won\u2019t have a baby, won\u2019t have a family, because I\u2019m selfish, a workaholic,” she continued. “It does affect me \u2014 I\u2019m just a human being. We\u2019re all human beings. That\u2019s why I thought, \u2018What the hell?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Now, at 56, the actress is addressing issues head-on.<\/p>\n Aniston said she decided to speak out \u201cbecause I knew a lot of women at the time who were trying to have kids, who were dealing with IVF. So it did feel like it was not only for myself, but for any women who were struggling with the same issue.\u201d <\/p>\n In many ways, Aniston says she is grateful that tabloid culture has become less prevalent, but she’s concerned that celebrity gossip has shifted to the social media world, where there is it even less accountability and credibility.<\/p>\n \u201cSo now any schmuck can stay anonymous and write whatever the hell they want to write,” she said.<\/p>\n Even so, Aniston doesn’t necessarily care about addressing every rumor.<\/p>\n \u201cThe older I get, the less I care about correcting a narrative, because it will happen eventually,\u201d she said, adding, “My family knows my truth, my friends know my truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.today.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jennifer Aniston is setting the record straight about how public opinion has affected her over the years, especially when it comes to having a baby. \u201cThey didn\u2019t know my story, or what I\u2019d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family because I don\u2019t go out there and tell […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2079654,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2079653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrities"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Jennifer-Aniston-On-How-Rumors-About-Having-A-Baby-Affected.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2079653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2079653"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2079653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2079655,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2079653\/revisions\/2079655"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2079654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2079653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2079653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2079653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
