Norman Jean Roy / Vanity Fair Aniston, 56, and Pitt, 61, were married from 2000 to 2005. Pitt met Angelina Jolie, 50, on the set of the 2005 movie 'Mr. and Mrs Smith.' The 'Fight Club' actor was with Jolie from 2005 to 2016 when she filed for divorce.

Norman Jean Roy / Vanity Fair 'The Morning Show' actress added, 'How are they going to misinterpret my words or take something out of context? And one line nowadays …' For years after Pitt left Aniston for Jolie, speculation about Aniston's love life and desire to have kids or not was splashed in headlines. 'It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids,' Aniston told VF. 14 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' premiere at Venice Film Festival on September 2, 2007.

The 'Horrible Bosses' actress added, 'We're human beings, even though some people don't want to believe we are. They think, You signed up for it, so you take it.

It's like, 'You have no clue what's going with me personally, medically, why I can't … can I have kids?' They don't know anything, and it was really hurtful and just nasty.' In November 2022, Aniston got candid about her struggles with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and her infertility. In 2023, she said that Adam Sandler sends her flowers every Mother's Day. 14 Jennifer Aniston in a 2024 Instagram photo. jenniferaniston/Instagram Jason Bateman, who's Aniston's close friend, told Vanity Fair in Monday's story that the actress is like a 'co-mom' to his kids, Francesca, 18, and Maple, 13.

Injured Hallmark Star Noel Johansen Tearfully Remembers His Wife Who Was Killed in Vancouver Festival Attack: ‘My Heart Is Broken'
Noel Johansen, a prolific TV actor who has appeared in several Hallmark movies, tearfully paid tribute to his wife Jenifer Darbellay at a vigil held in memory of victims killed in an attack at a Vancouver street festival Saturday. Darbellay, an artist and costumer for theater and films including 'The Assassination of Jesse James,' died when a driver with a history of mental illness rammed into the crowded Lapu Lapu festival celebrating Filipino culture. She was one of 11 people who died as a result of their injuries in the attack. Johansen and their 7-year-old daughter were also injured. The actor, who has appeared in 'Reunited at Christmas' and 'Fargo,' spoke on crutches at the vigil Monday about his wife, who was mother to their children Darby and Ford. 'What you see here is an injury that means nothing to me because what's inside my heart is broken. Because my wife passed away behind me at the incident,' Johansen said in a video posted by Global News Canada. 'She never celebrated herself in her life. She never thought of herself, she thought of herself as small in terms of the reach,' he said. 'And I can tell you she was larger than life for any of you who know her. 'So don't be small in life. Be big, reach out and reach out as a human being with everything you have — and please remember us who went through this.' A GoFundMe for the family posted by a friend described Darbellay as 'one-of-a-kind. She was an incredibly thoughtful, warm, caring, smart, stylish, artistic woman. A gifted painter, a selfless mother, and a loving wife. She gave the best hugs, was always there to listen without judgement, and had the sweetest voice.' Johansen, who holds Canadian, American and British citizenship, also appeared in 'When Calls the Heart,' 'Chesapeake Shores,' 'Harvest Love' and 'Home for Christmas Day.'
