“I would say my late 30s, 40s, I’d gone through really hard shit, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was
meant to be,” she said, noting that she tried “everything” to get pregnant, including IVF and “drinking Chinese teas.”
“It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,” she went on, before later adding, “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.”
Jen went on to note that her private fertility struggle was made all the more difficult due to the “years and years” of media speculation around why she didn’t have children — something that began almost two decades ago, after she and Brad Pitt got divorced in 2005.
