While Jennifer Aniston has received massive support after opening up about her fertility journey, no one has quite shown their love to the star like her BFF, Adam Sandler.
The pair go way back, having first forged a friendship in their early twenties and starring together in a spate of comedies over the years, including this year’s Mystery Mystery 2.
And the 54-year-old Friends actress has given a glimpse into their close friendship as she revealed that the actor, 56, and his wife, Jackie Sandler, 48, send her flowers each year on Mother’s Day to show her love and support. Jennifer, who will soon be seen in season three of Apple TV’s The Morning Show, made the heartwarming admission in a new interview with Wall Street Journal.
This comes after the icon candidly detailed her struggles to get pregnant for Allure‘s December cover story last year, where she also spoke about the intense media scrutiny she was subjected to and unsuccessful rounds of IVF.
«My late 30s, 40s, I’d gone through really hard sh[*]t, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be,» said Jennifer, then explaining: «I was trying to get pregnant. »
«I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it,» she added. «I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour. ‘ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed. »
«I have zero regrets,» she noted. «I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. ‘ I don’t have to think about that anymore. »
Addressing the negative media documentation, Jennifer Aniston said: «I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child. And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid. It was absolute lies. I don’t have anything to hide at this point. »
Aniston’s five-year marriage to actor Brad Pitt ended in 2005; she was with Justin Theroux from 2011 to 2018 (they married in 2015).
Jennifer’s frustration with the media for its fixation on her reproductive status also led her to write an op-ed for The Huffington Post in 2016, which she said she had to write «because it’s so maddening and I’m not superhuman to the point where I can’t let it penetrate and hurt».
