In an interview with Allure, Jennifer Aniston admitted that she spent many years “trying to get pregnant” as the media speculated why she never had children despite high-profile marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.

“I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,” she reveals.

“All the years and years and years of speculation. It was tough. Going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it, and throwing everything at it,” she continued.

“I would’ve given anything if someone had told me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.’ You don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”

“I have zero regrets,” she says. “I feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe, maybe, maybe.’ I don’t have to think about that anymore.”
