‘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.”
‘You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.
‘I have zero regrets. 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.’
Carrying on, the famous face also told of the hurt she felt after insinuations she choose her career over children after divorcing Brad Pitt in 2005.
She said: ‘It was absolute lies’ and dismissed the ‘narrative that I was just selfish… I just cared about my career.’
Her second husband Justin Theroux, who she was married to until 2018, spoke out in support of his ex-wife.
Commenting on the star’s Instagram post that showed stunning shots from her cover story with Allure, Jennifer’s former flame left a fist-bump and heart emoji.
