Jennifer Aniston “truly can’t believe” Sen. J.D. Vance’s comments about people who don’t have children. The Friends actress, 55, took to Instagram to react to Vance’s resurfaced comments about “childless cat ladies” from 2021. On her Instagram Story, she shared an X post from MeidasTouch.com Editor-in-Chief Ron Filipkowski.

“It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,” she continued. ““All the years and years and years of speculation … It was really hard.”
While Aniston “was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it” and “throwing everything at it,” she had to deal with people making assumptions about why she wasn’t having kids.
Some people thought she was “just selfish,” she told the outlet. People started spreading rumors about how she only cared about her career or how her husband supposedly left her because she “wouldn’t give him a kid.”
She called these “absolute lies,” though “God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child.”
In 2016, Aniston wrote an essay for HuffPost about how she wasn’t pregnant.
“If I am some kind of symbol to some people out there, then...
