Jennifer Aniston, the renowned Hollywood actress, has candidly shared her intimate journey battling infertility over the past twenty years, shedding light on the profound emotional impact it had on both her personal life and professional career.
At 56, Aniston revealed that she underwent multiple rounds of IVF and explored nearly every possible avenue in her heartfelt desire to become a mother. “It was an arduous path-filled with rumors, silent judgments, and endless speculation-but I’ve reached a place of acceptance now,” she expressed.
In an exclusive interview featured in the November 2025 issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK, Jennifer discussed how her career is thriving as she embraces new love and uses her platform to challenge outdated cultural narratives that once painted her as a figure of strength devoid of vulnerability.

“People never truly understood my experience,” Aniston shared with Harper’s Bazaar. “They had no idea about the two decades I spent trying to build a family because I never publicly disclosed my medical struggles.”
She added, “That’s a deeply personal matter. Yet, the persistent stories suggesting I’m childless due to selfishness or being overly career-driven are hurtful. I’m human, just like everyone else, and such narratives do affect me.”
Having privately faced unsuccessful IVF attempts, Aniston felt compelled to break her silence through a 2016 op-ed. “At that time, many women I knew were also navigating the challenges of IVF,” she noted. “Speaking out wasn’t just for me-it was for all women confronting similar battles.”
