14 DAY TRIAL // One of the most circulated Jennifer Aniston stories in the tabloids, aside from that of her reported feud with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is that of her pregnancy. In the latest issue of GQ magazine, Aniston tackles the babies topic.
However, it's only to say that she's “drawing the line on the children conversation,” in the sense that she will be the one who will go public with a pregnancy – when and if it should happen.
From what she's telling her good friend and co-star Paul Rudd, who interviewed her for GQ, we're to understand that, for the time being, she's really not that interested in motherhood.
Aniston doesn't want or feel the need to define herself by being a mother. She also doesn't believe that having babies and a husband to raise them with necessarily equals happiness.
While she could be changing her mind in the future, at this exact moment, she is not married, pregnant or planning to have kids, she says.
Just in case you have any doubts about her not having any bun in the oven, she's taking her shirt off for the GQ spread, posing in nothing but a skirt and a black bra to show off her toned tummy – there's zero chance there's a baby in there, as the mag also notes.
“I’m not having triplets. Not having twins. Nor am I having one baby. I did not elope,” she says.
The only reason she appears curvier than usual is because she actually is. Jennifer says she quit smoking and gained some weight because of it – though reports in the media says she's smoking again.
“Well, I recently quit smoking, and you do put on some extra pounds. It makes a difference, especially if you’re not 20. I think people maybe want me to have a kid now,” she says.
“I still kind of go with, if it happens, it happens. I’m calm and peaceful with whatever the plan is. It’s not something where I’m going, 'I gotta have a kid!'” Jennifer further explains.
“[Does it bother me that 'kids' are] Part of the picture-perfect life? I think that’s sort of cliché, isn’t it? Like, if you want to be happy, you should have the house, the husband, the kids… Kids are messy!” she continues.
“The one time I do say, 'Yes! I’m pregnant!' they’ll be like, 'Pfft. Right.' Anyway, I’m drawing the line on the children conversation. You heard it here. I’m not knocked up now,” the star adds.
Aniston and Rudd will be seen next in “Wanderlust,” where they play a married couple going through a crisis. The full interview is here.
