Jennifer Aniston releases open letter to address pregnancy rumours

Jennifer is 'fed up'

Published 13th Jul 2016

Speculation has been rife in recent months over rumours that actress Jennifer Aniston is pregnant, but now she has confirmed the claims are false in a candid open letter to fans.

The former Friends star revealed she doesn’t like the way women are being portrayed and blasted various media outlets who are ‘obsessed’ with her life.

In the letter which is titled ‘For The Record’, Jennifer said “For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up”.

Her letter reads:

“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.'

"This past month in particular has illuminated for me how much we define a woman’s value based on her marital and maternal status. The sheer amount of resources being spent right now by press trying to simply uncover whether or not I am pregnant (for the bajillionth time... but who’s counting) points to the perpetuation of this notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they’re not married with children.

"Yes, I may become a mother some day, and since I’m laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know." (sic)

This isn’t the first time the 47-year-old has been forced to deny rumours. After pictures emerged of Jennifer and her husband Justin Theroux on a beach last month, the actress denied the claims she was expecting.

Jennifer went on to reveal her frustration when congratulated on being pregnant numerous times a day due to the false stories being released in America.

Jennifer stars alongside Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts and Jason Sudeikis in the new movie Mother’s Day which is in UK cinemas now.
