Jennifer Aniston has revealed Adam Sandler and his wife send her flowers every Mother’s Day.
The actress appeared on the latest cover of WSJ. Magazine Fall Women’s Fashion issue and in the exclusive interview, she spoke candidly about the twists and turns of her life so far.
The profile mentions Jennifer’s longtime friend Adam, who she starred alongside in the films ‘Just Go With It’ and ‘Murder Mystery’, and the sweet gesture he does for her each year.
Jennifer opened up about her fertility struggles for the first time in a candid interview last November.
Speaking to Allure, the Friends star admitted she tried to get pregnant for years, and revealed it was a “challenging road” for her.
The 54-year-old told the magazine: “I feel the best in who I am today, better than I ever did in my 20s or 30s even, or my mid-40s. We needed to stop saying bad s**t to ourselves.”
“I would say my late 30s, 40s, I’d gone through really hard shit, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be…”
Reflecting on that period of time, the actress then explained: “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.”
Despite her struggle, Jennifer made it clear that she has “zero regrets”, saying: “I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.’ I don’t have to think about that anymore.”
The Morning Show star, who was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2017, also slammed the narrative that she didn’t want kids because she was “selfish” and only cared about her career.
“God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child,” she scoffed.
“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 absolute lies. I don’t have anything to hide at this point.”
Back in 2016, Jennifer penned an op-ed for The Huffington Post in which she slammed the media’s obsession with her getting pregnant.
Explaining why she wrote the piece, the actress confessed: “I got so frustrated… I was like, ‘I’ve just got to write this because it’s so maddening and I’m not superhuman to the point where I can’t let it penetrate and hurt.’”
Jennifer concluded the interview by saying: “I’ve spent so many years protecting my story about IVF. I’m so protective of these parts because I feel like there’s so little that I get to keep to myself.”
“The [world] creates narratives that aren’t true, so I might as well tell the truth. I feel like I’m coming out of hibernation. I don’t have anything to hide.”
