Jennifer Aniston - Pregnant?
Filed under: Bump Watch, Media
Ever since she split with Brad Pitt, the media has been waiting for Jennifer Aniston to find another man and have his babies. When she's happily in love, the paps salivate over the possibilities. When she's not, they paint her as a sad spinster, boozing it up and playing third wheel to friends Courtney Cox and David Arquette.I'd love to know what the real Jennifer Aniston is like, but she's probably smart to keep her private life private.
The rumor mill is a-buzz with news that Jennifer is pregnant, this time with ex John Mayer's child. Since there are no 100% reputable sources reporting this buzz, and since it started with an article in an Aussie tabloid, I'm pretty sure it's false. Jennifer and John have been hanging out again, and this just makes the story "jucier," I guess.
I grew up with two friends who were literally in a race to get married, literally as in there was a bet. With money involved. (Crazy, I know.) The one who lost the bet is still happily married to her first husband. The "winner" is in the middle of her third divorce. This idea that marriage and babies are the only way for a woman to be happy is not only absurd, it creates a unhealthy expectation for young girls.
I certainly hope that, if it's what they want, my own girls find love and start families, but what I don't want is for that particular goal to define them as young women. Jennifer has so many other measures by which to define her success.
What do you think of the way Jennifer Aniston is portrayed in the media? And do you think there's any truth to the rumors? Is it time for another bump watch?

CLM said...The only thing that bugs me is that people talk about her and Brad Pitt splitting up. Now, I'm not a particular fan of either, but it does strike me that Brad Pitt is the one that did the splitting.

Keanamalia said...Brad Pitt, on Oprah's show, 4 yrs. ago professed his undying love for Jen. Jen was on Oprah a few days later, and when told all the fun things Brad wanted the two of them to do together, Jen said NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! Brad left her after that show..............
Jennifer Aniston threw her marriage away to star in all those mediocre
movies.

ellie said...Why is every article saying she's settling or rushing to get married and have a baby It's been almost 5 years since she and Brad split. That isn't rushing in my book. And I hardly feel that she thinks she needs a man to define her. She just finally found a guy she has a real connection with and wants to be with him. She's also proven through her films that she's a decent actress who is popular and well liked in Hollywood. My husband and I knew within a couple months of dating that we wanted to get married. We were in our 30's too. No one thought we were desperate. I think older people can make these decisions quicker than younger couples. I see nothing wrong with her choosing John Mayer after a short dating period and if she's pregnant, hey, Best wishes. That will be one cute and talented baby!

Sandra said...I couldn't agree more with what was written in this article. The media always trys to portray Jennifer in this way. I would feel so angry if those things were written about me all the time, I do not envy her. I don't think I could keep quiet about it the way she has but it is probably best to deal with it like that. Good luck with whatever she does.
