""When people say, 'But you can adopt,' I don't want to adopt," Aniston said during a Wondery+ Early Access episode of the Armchair Expert podcast, according to People. "I want my own DNA in a little person. That's the only way, selfish or not, whatever that is, I've wanted it.""
""For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up," Aniston wrote. "I'm fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of 'journalism,' the 'First Amendment' and 'celebrity news.'""
""We don't need to be married or mothers to be complete. We get to determine our own 'happily ever after' for ourselves." Explaining that she was tired of the exploitation, Jennifer wrote, "Yes, I may become a mother someday, and since I'm laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know. But I'm not in pursuit of motherhood because I feel incomplete in some way, as our celebrity news culture would lead us all to believe.""
Jennifer Aniston explained that she never adopted because she wanted a biological child and wanted her own DNA in a child. She acknowledged meeting men who "would have made some good kids" but did not dwell on the thought. She described motherhood as not being part of her plan and recounted earlier efforts with IVF while trying to conceive. She addressed long-standing media scrutiny about her fertility, criticized body shaming and invasive celebrity coverage, and affirmed that people need not be married or mothers to be complete.
