"All the years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard," she continued. "I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. I would've given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.' You just don't think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed."

However, the 53-year-old noted that she has "zero regrets," explaining, "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."

"And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn't have a child," continued Aniston, who was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and to Theroux in 2015 to 2017. "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."

She added, " I don't have anything to hide at this point."
