Jennifer Aniston Says She Never Planned to Adopt, Citing Desire for a Biological Child

Her remarks were shared in a Wondery+ early access Armchair Expert episode slated for wider release on Oct. 20.

Overview

  • She described feeling peaceful about not becoming a parent yet acknowledged the outcome feels beyond her control.
  • The conversation followed co-host Monica Padman’s discussion of egg freezing and questions about finding acceptance.
  • Aniston has previously detailed years of infertility and IVF attempts and said in 2022 that the "ship has sailed" with zero regrets.
  • In recent comments to Harper’s Bazaar UK, she rejected the narrative that she chose career over family, noting the public did not know her medical history.
