Jennifer Aniston has been in the spotlight for decades, and has had to roll with the constant coverage of her every move<\/a> \u2014 including every relationship \u2014 as they played out for the world to see. But now, the actress, 53, is getting more candid than ever before in an open and honest new interview.<\/p>\n

The star didn’t hold back (both figuratively and literally, posing topless<\/a> and modeling skimpy Chanel bikinis, Gucci G-strings and abs-baring looks) when she revealed to Allure<\/em><\/a> that she had been trying to get pregnant several years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,\u201d Aniston said. “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.\u00a0I would\u2019ve given anything if someone had said to me, \u2018Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.\u2019 You just don\u2019t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.\u201d<\/p>\n

While she wishes someone told her to freeze her eggs, today, she says she has “zero” regrets. \u201cI actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, \u2018Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.\u2019 I don\u2019t have to think about that anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the media, there was often a narrative portrayed of Aniston that painted her as “selfish” for not having kids. “It was absolute lies,” she said of the gossip, which included the lie that she “just cared about her career” or her husband “left” her because she wouldn’t “give him a kid.” She added, “I don\u2019t have anything to hide at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The star reached a boiling point in 2016 when she wrote an op-ed for Huffington Post<\/em> <\/a>titled, “For the Record,” where she wrote, “I\u00a0am\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0pregnant. What I am is\u00a0fed up.<\/em> I\u2019m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of ‘journalism,’ the ‘First Amendment’ and ‘celebrity news.'”<\/p>\n

She finally decided to share her journey now, after spending “so many years protecting my story about IVF” because “the [world] creates narratives that aren\u2019t true, so I might as well tell the truth. I feel like I\u2019m coming out of hibernation. I don\u2019t have anything to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n

She says, today, she feels the best she ever has and she’s grateful for all the lessons she’s learned over the years. \u201cI would say my late 30s, 40s, I\u2019d gone through really hard s**t, and if it wasn\u2019t for going through that, I would\u2019ve never become who I was meant to be,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s why I have such gratitude for all those sh***y things. Otherwise, I would\u2019ve been stuck being this person that was so fearful, so nervous, so unsure of who they were.\u201d<\/p>\n

For another bombshell, she opened up about her love life. When asked if she’d get married again, she replied, “Never say never, but I don\u2019t have any interest.”<\/p>\n

While we wait to see her next move, we applaud the star for speaking out, sharing her truth and inspiring others along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33012,"featured_media":28340,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"\nJennifer Aniston Tried to Get Pregnant and Reveals IVF
