It's obvious she didn't want kids, and that's perfectly ok. I think the reason she feels the need to speak out is because during their marriage, Brad kept going on and on about how he wanted kids, and the next thing we know he moved on to Angelina and immediately had kids. That's got to hurt.

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.

Maybe those women are helping perpetuate that patriarchal structure when they could be helping change it.

Exactly.

“I’m really happy that we got to experience growing up, being a teenager, being in our 20s without this social media aspect,” she says. “Look, the internet, great intentions, right? Connect people socially, social networking. It goes back to how young girls feel about themselves, compare and despair."

Also here's a picture of me in a g-string.

She came from a broken home that by her own words negatively impacted her, requiring decades of therapy, etc.

She has by her own words struggled with relationships.

She really, really, really cares about her body, looks, and celebrity status.

If she wanted a baby, she could have had one/adopted/paid a surrogate.

I don’t care what she does, but it really seems like she is living exactly the life she wanted: didn’t wreck her body with kids, doesn’t need to think about anyone but herself, is rich and still an A list celeb. She’s winning at life, and it’s not an accident. She carefully curates a laid back persona yet it’s obvious she fixated on what she eats, how she exercises, plastic surgery, etc. plus has a house that look and feels like a museum instead of a home (despite sitting on the floor and being barefoot in jeans that were likely tailored).

I don’t think she ever wanted a husband or kids. Her childhood made her an independent person with trust issues. Therapy likely fueled navel gazing behavior. That’s fine. She’s gorgeous and still famous and that likely makes her happy.

Justin Theroux posted a fist bump and hearts on her Insta post. Nice they're still friends.

The only IVF community LOOOOOOVED her article yesterday - it was posted and reposted by hundreds of women going through IVF. So maybe it wasn't for the smug people here wondering why she's naked / didn't freeze eggs / doesn't shut up already....maybe its for them. Because clearly it was helpful and resonated with a lot of people so if it doesn't with you, why can't you just keep on moving

Leave her alone. She is not harming anyone and she is a fully realized human being even if she did not pop out a few rugrats.

By being ignored and unemployed once they're no longer f*ckable?

I don’t see Meryl Streep, Laura Linney or Sandra bullock doing a shoot like this. I’m not blaming Jen — I hate the game, not the player. But I do really admire the women who refuse to play the game.

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.

She married Justin when she was 46. She started dating him when she was 43. Seems like she didn't start until her mid-40s. Nothing wrong with that, but the chances of success without donor egg/embryo are slim.

Maybe she tried in late 30’s with JM or another BF. I’m sure she’s had more BF’s that we know nothing about.

Perhaps. In the article she only talks about trying with Justin.

She didn’t actually talk about trying with Justin. She’s careful not to put a date around it or mention any details regarding single or coupled…probably because it’s not true.

Have you noticed that every decade was her best decade? Go pull up an article from another era and read her saying her 30s were her best and then her 40s and now her 50s.

I also find her comments a little slippery.

Ah, you're right. "It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,” says Aniston, of a period several years ago."

She said at one point she didn’t want to be a single mother. Seems like relationships ended before getting to that discussion.

Meh. I understand infertility and have been there. I also understand how hitting menopause makes you regret not trying harder for a bio baby. Maybe she is regretting not doing more earlier. Or maybe she is an attention wh*re who wants to stay relevant. Regardless, she looks great and I wish actors focused on their craft rather than these personal details of their life.

As soon as she stops putting the body on covers and inviting comments.

If she didn't do an interview every year about 'I'm not pregnant! I want kids but nooo or Justin and I are thinking about this adoption but the time is a little shaky'.

Do an article or cover on your latest project, the conservation committee you're chairing, your dreams for the next five years.

Why is she sitting on the floor. At 50 is that cool or just uncomfortable?

She sat on the floor during her Allure interview, too. I'm her age and hate having to get up from the floor. Clearly not an issue for her!

It fits the cool, laid back, approachable persona she presents.
