Jennifer Aniston<\/a><\/strong> is one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood, with the Friends sta<\/a>r a staple in the entertainment industry ever since the sitcom debuted in 1994.<\/p>\n Despite her mega success, she still gets bombarded with questions about her personal life, especially when the topic of children comes up.<\/p>\n \u00a0\ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox\ud83c\udfac<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Over the years, there has been speculation that she was putting her career over having kids, with many suggesting it’s what led to her divorce from Brad Pitt<\/strong>. The Moring Show<\/a> star spent the last two decades staying mostly quiet on the topic to avoid fanning those rumor mill flames, though she did briefly address rumors that her selfishness played a role in the demise of her marriage directly in 2022, telling Allure<\/a>, \u201cI just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn\u2019t have a child,\u201d she shared. \u201cAnd the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn\u2019t give him a kid. It was absolute lies. I don\u2019t have anything to hide at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n At the time, she spoke briefly about her attempts to become a mother: \u201cI was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.\u201d<\/p>\n And the conversation continues today, as Aniston has long been frustrated with the way women in the public eye are judged and scrutinized by the media regarding children. In the latest interview with Harper\u2019s Bazaar UK<\/a>, Aniston reiterated her frustration while shedding more light on her own private family journey.<\/p>\n \u201cThey [the media] 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,\u201d she shared with the outlet.<\/p>\n Related: Will There Be a \u2018Friends\u2019 Reunion After Matthew Perry\u2019s Death? Jennifer Aniston Weighs In<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Bruce Almighty star bluntly addressed the hot topic, standing up for herself as well as many other women in Hollywood, expressing frustrations over false narratives: \u201cThat\u2019s not anybody\u2019s business. But there comes a point when you can\u2019t not hear it \u2013 the narrative about how I won\u2019t have a baby, won\u2019t have a family, because I\u2019m selfish, a workaholic. It does affect me \u2013 I\u2019m just a human being. We\u2019re all human beings.”<\/p>\n Although the culture toward women in the media has improved somewhat today, Aniston says it still exists. She also thinks the idea that women have an expiration date to be mothers is an \u201cold ideology” and \u201cdoesn\u2019t exist anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n Next: Fans Floored By Malcolm-Jamal Warner\u2019s \u2018Tragically Poetic\u2019 Final Performance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 9, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
