Jennifer Aniston is opening up about the media speculation surrounding her family life.
In a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Aniston, 56, shed some light on the decision to pen an op-ed for the Huffington Post in 2016, calling out the media for their constant commentary about her lack of children.
Aniston revealed to Bazaar that, amid her romance and subsequent divorce from Brad Pitt and while magazine stands were full of rumors about her supposed lack of desire for children, she was privately going through in-vitro fertilization, or IVF therapy, which did not turn out to be successful.

“They didn’t know my story, or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family, because I don’t go out there and tell them my medical woes,” she told the outlet. “That’s not anybody’s business. But there comes a point when you can’t not hear it – the narrative about how I won’t have a baby, won’t have a family, because I’m selfish, a workaholic.”

“It does affect me – I’m just a human being. We’re all human beings,” she continued, adding of her decision to write the essay for HuffPost: “That’s why I thought, ‘What the hell?’”
“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,” Aniston told Bazaar.
Aniston, who divorced Pitt officially in 2005, remarried actor Justin Theroux in 2015, divorcing three years later but remaining friends.
