Let’s talk about Jennifer Aniston, one of Hollywood’s most beloved icons. Despite being in the spotlight for decades, the star of "Friends" has never shied away from being candid about her personal life. One topic that’s often come up? Motherhood. Jennifer, who hasn’t experienced becoming a mom yet, has made it clear that it’s not something she feels pressured to do. In fact, she’s expressed that having kids isn’t necessary for her to feel "complete." Keep reading to dive deeper into what the star has shared about her thoughts on family and why motherhood might not be in the cards for her.
Why Jennifer Aniston Hasn’t Had Kids
In a heartfelt open letter published in The Huffington Post back in July 2016, the Emmy Award-winning actress shared some powerful words about the choices women make when it comes to family. "We are complete with or without a partner, with or without children," she wrote. "That decision is ours and ours alone. We don’t need to be married or mothers to be complete. We get to decide what ‘happily ever after’ means for ourselves." These words resonated with many women who feel the societal pressure to follow traditional paths in life.
Now, let’s address the rumors. According to In Touch Weekly, Jennifer is single these days. But whispers in Europe suggested that the star of "The Morning Show" was considering adoption. Several tabloids reported that Jennifer told her "Friends" co-stars she was in the process of adopting a child while filming the HBO Max reunion. However, her rep quickly shut down these claims, telling TMZ and People that the rumors were false. It seems like Jennifer is content with her life as it is, without the added stress of starting a family right now.

Her Marriages and Views on Motherhood
Jennifer has been married twice—first to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and later to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2017. Despite these relationships, it seems motherhood might not be in the cards for her. In a candid chat with Allure in December 2014, Jennifer opened up about her feelings on societal pressures surrounding motherhood. "I don’t think it’s fair that there are standards for women to become moms," she said. "I don’t like the pressure people put on me, on women—that you’ve failed yourself as a female because you haven’t procreated. You may not have a child come out of your vagina, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t mothering—dogs, friends, friends’ children."
