Egg freezing was still experimental when she was 35. It didn’t become non-experimental until 8 or 9 years later when there was a new freezing technology that dramatically improved success rates. So even with all of that money, it was uncommon at the time and had a much lower likelihood of success.

My heart goes out to her. I know a lot of women like her in their early to mid-50s who tried and couldn’t have kids late 30s/early 40s. The advances with egg freezing make a difference now.

Very exciting stuff!

Well we can't all be as charming and scintillating as you, can we?

Yes, and she's very charming and had that sexy girl-next-door thing going on. 2 of her 3 Friends costars copped to having major crushes on her. Her Morning Show work proves she has dramatic chops too. She's no Cate Blanchett, but she is like a modern Doris Day.

Jennifer Aniston “You have no clue what’s going with me personally, medically, why I can’t … can I have kids?” They don’t know anything, and it was really hurtful and just nasty.

I remember hearing you talk with Gloria Steinem about how it can feel like your value as a woman is tied to your marital status and whether or not you’ve procreated, to which Gloria said …

She said, “I guess we’re in deep shit.” (Laughs.) It’s the same with Dolly Parton; Dolly Parton never had kids. But are people giving her shit for it? No, no one’s tried to put her in a white picket fence.”

*****
Jen is still talking about kids! And states no one criticizes Dolly Parton for not having kids. Perhaps that’s because Dolly has never said she wanted kids or dreams her future on a beach with kids.

If she didn’t want the speculation then s
he should have stated long ago she can’t have kids. And with her money she could have had a surrogate have her kids. Or just state she never really wanted kids. She just needs to stop talking about it.

NO. She doesn't have to share with you or anyone if she is having kids, when or why/why not. Society has been completely obsessed with her having or not having kids and talk to her about it incessantly. You are not owed a statement from her.

And those among us who HAVE chosen to have kids, need to stop walking around like we shot a golden goose egg out of our vagi**as. Seriously, I love my kids, but you won't count me in the group that thinks I'm somehow greater than for procreating.

She is 53 AND she could still have kids. If she was a man, nobody would bat an eye at a 53 year old man having kids. THAT IS HER POINT!

THEN SHE SHOULD SHUT UO AND GO HAVE KIDS, OR NOT, BUT STOP ACTING LIKE YOU DON'T ENJOY THE ATTENTION! Also, for love of God, stop with the injectables. She looks like a f g plastic barbie!

DP. It’s so odd to me that she’s the only person who gets flack for this. Leonardo DiCaprio, every few years gives some interview about how he wants to marry and have kids when he has something to promote. Assuming he is straight, he clearly has had a vasectomy if decades after banging hundreds of young women every year hasn’t resulted in a pregnancy.

I haven't read the article yet, but I said something similar about her years ago: that she needs to stop posing naked or nearly naked. There's no reason to do that. We all know she has a great body.

Heck, if I had a body like that I'd stand naked in the freezer section of the local supermarket.

But seriously, she can do whatever she wants with her body. She's also pragmatic and knows roles at her age are tough to come by in a Hollywood (and society) that exalts youth above all else. Retaining the "hot" label helps, as other actresses like Halle Berry also know. Let's critique the patriarchal structures that perpetuate this, not the women who merely are savvy about navigating it to their advantage.

Alternatively she could have chosen to do the body-baring shoot herself because she's proud of her body and likes sharing how it looks with people. If I were in my early 50s and looked that good I might invite a photographer to come over and take pictures of me in a bikini just to have them for myself.

I agree the clothes themselves are quite ugly but that's a separate issue. The monochromatic palette and very simple, stripped down styling are very in keeping with both her aesthetic and Allure's approach to photo shoots (focus is always more on fitness/skincare/"health" than on clothes). The giant branding/logos is gross but I've never been into that.

I do think her face looks a little odd. I sense she's trying to use restraint with fillers/botox but the effect is disconcerting -- her mouth/nose look weird even though I don't see a lip flip or any obvious issues.
