The photos that accompany the long interview offered by Jennifer Aniston to the magazine are breathtaking. Just like some details shared by the megastar regarding her highly publicized breakup with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.
For once, the famous interpreter of Rachel from the series Friends looks back on the difficult years of speculation (about the causes of her divorce from Brad Pitt, who had just shot in the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith with a certain Angelina Jolie, of her supposed pregnancies), when people and gossip magazines said she was too selfish and career-focused to have children.
“And the reason why my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I didn’t want to give him a child. These were absolute lies. I have nothing to hide at this stage,” says the star, who wrote an editorial for the Huffington Post in 2016 criticizing the media for “their obsessions with being pregnant and their treatment of women in general”.
“I was trying to get pregnant,” she continues, referring to a certain period of her life. It was a hard road for me, the road of making babies. »
“It was really hard. I was going through fertilization in vitro, I drank Chinese teas, etc. I would have given anything for someone to say to me: “do yourself a favor, freeze your eggs”. »
The actress also talks about her parents’ divorce, which was very difficult for her (“I forgave my mother, I forgave my father, I forgave my family”, she says) and explains feeling better today than in his 20s, 30s and even his 40s.
And the future
Will she ever remarry? “Never say never, but I have no interest,” she replies. I would like to have a relationship. Who knows ? »
The one who describes herself as “a constant work in progress » also shares his hatred for social networks. “I hate social networks, says the one who only joined Instagram to promote her line of LolaVie hair products. I’m not good at this. It’s torture for me”.
The actress, who would title the current chapter of her story The Rising Phoenix adds that she will one day write her memoirs. “I’m going to stop saying I can’t write. I spent so many years protecting my fertilization story in vitro […] The world has created stories that are false, so why not tell the truth myself? I feel like I’m coming out of hibernation. I have nothing to hide “.
