As a woman who has gone through the wringer in my late 30s and 40s, I can relate to Jennifer Aniston’s heartfelt words about the hardships she faced during that timeframe. Those challenging years shaped me into the person I am today, and for that, I am deeply grateful.


On Thursday night, Jennifer Aniston seemed very cheerful despite her recent criticism of J.D. Vance’s controversial remarks regarding “childless cat ladies.”

The Friends actress was backstage at the Oh Mary! show on Broadway in New York City.

A 55-year-old woman looked radiant in a becoming beige sundress with spaghetti straps, displaying her new summer tan.

With her long, golden mane cascading down her bare shoulders, she accessorized herself by adding a beige handbag and several gold bangle bracelets.

Brad Pitt’s former spouse attended a photo session with actors Bianca Leigh, Hannah Solow, Bill Hader, James Scully, Sara Haines, Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Macht, and Conrad Ricamora.

Jennifer wore red flip-flops and accessorized with two different necklaces. One was adorned with a long golden pendant, while the other featured a beautiful diamond.

Oh, Mary! is a comedic stage play written by American comedian Cole Escola. 

On July 11, 2024, the production made its Broadway debut at the Lyceum Theatre, relocating from its successful Off-Broadway stint at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The response from critics was uniformly positive.

Mary, played by Escola, stars in the dark comedy “Oh, Mary!” where she portrays the unhappy and confined Mary Todd Lincoln during the final weeks before Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.

In this one-act play, the longing that goes unreciprocated, alcohol addiction, and hidden desires are prevalent themes as we delve into the overlooked existence and aspirations of Mrs. Lincoln, viewed through the perspective of a simple-minded man named Escola.

It now has an extended run on Broadway, it was announced this week. 

As an obsessed fan, I couldn’t help but feel strongly about the recent comments made by Senator J.D. Vance during a past speech in 2021. He apparently took a jab at childless women, labeling them as “miserable cat ladies,” when referencing Vice President Kamala Harris. Frankly, I find such remarks disrespectful and uncalled for. It’s not right to judge someone based on their marital status or lack thereof. Everyone has the right to live their life in their unique way, and happiness is not limited to those with children or pets.

On Instagram Stories last Wednesday, Aniston criticized Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, while sharing a video of him conversing with Tucker Carlson.

“I’m shocked to my core that this statement comes from a possible U.S. Vice President,” the Friends actor expressed on social media. “All I can muster up is… I hope Mr. Vance’s daughter will be blessed with children of her own in the future.”

I hope she won’t have to resort to IVF as a backup plan. It’s unfortunate if that possibility is being taken away from her as well.

In 2021, Vance’s criticisms of Vice President Harris’ leadership due to her lack of biologically children reemerged, putting pressure on the young Republican senator during his initial stages of campaigning for the presidency with the GOP ticket.

During Vance’s Senate campaign in Ohio, he expressed in a Fox News interview that “the Democrats hold significant control over our country,” and labeled them as a group of “childless, unhappy women who discontentedly blame their own lives and choices on others, and wish to spread misery to the rest of the nation.”

Among those mentioned by him were Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. Transportation Secretary, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic representative from New York.

Vance made this comment to Carlson during the interview: “The Democratic Party’s future leaders, like Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and AOC, don’t have children yet. It seems unusual that we’re entrusting our country to individuals who don’t have a personal connection or responsibility for its long-term consequences.”

I’m a lifestyle expert and I’d like to share with you my story. At the age of 39, I, Vance, am happily married to Usha who is 38 years old. Together we have the joy of raising three wonderful kids. Our eldest son, Ewan, is six years old and full of energy. Next in line is our energetic and curious four-year-old son, Vivek. Last but not least is our sweet and playful two-year-old daughter, Mirabel.

Harris assumed the role of step-mother to Cole, aged 29, and Ella, 25, upon her marriage to lawyer Douglas Emhoff in 2014. On the other hand, Buttigieg revealed they had adopted infant twins in September 2021, prior to Vance’s remarks being made.

I, myself, have followed Aniston’s journey closely as she graces our screens on Apple TV+’s The Morning Show. Over the years, she’s been open about her personal struggles with fertility and her desire to start a family.

In an interview with Allure in December 2022, Aniston opened up about her past attempts to have children, which date back over a decade, despite being previously married to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.

In her interview with the publication, Aniston expressed that her challenging experiences during her late 30s and 40s were crucial for her personal growth. Without encountering those hardships, she wouldn’t have developed into the person she was intended to become.

I deeply appreciate the hardships and challenges I have faced in my life. If it weren’t for those difficult experiences, I would still be that timid and uncertain person, stuck in my ways and fearful of change. But now, I have learned to embrace the unknown and let go of my fears. I no longer let the past define me or hold me back. Instead, I use my experiences as fuel for growth and self-discovery. So, in a way, I’m grateful for those “s****y things” that once seemed insurmountable. They have shaped me into the strong and resilient person I am today.

She expounded on her feelings, saying she ‘was trying to get pregnant’ during that timeframe.

“I found the process of trying to have a baby quite difficult for me,” Aniston admitted. “With all the years of scrutiny and rumors, it proved to be a great challenge.”

Aniston opened up about the multiple methods she explored in her attempts to become pregnant.

During my IVF treatment, I tried various methods including Chinese teas, but nothing seemed to work. I gave everything a try and deeply wished someone had advised me to preserve my eggs for future use. Unfortunately, I didn’t consider it at the time. Now, looking back, it seems my opportunity has passed.

In those trying years when people persistently speculated about my pregnancy, I found it incredibly challenging on an emotional level. The allegations that I prioritized my acting career over starting a family were nothing but unfounded fibs.

In last year’s chat, I shared that I finally experience a sense of release. The constant questioning of “Can I?” no longer weighs on my mind.

In November 2022, an insider shared with People magazine that the renowned actress was “content” and “happy with her life,” stating further, “She’s doing well, and her happiness hasn’t been affected by whether or not she has children.”

In July 2016, Aniston wrote an article for Huffington Post expressing her thoughts on the long-standing rumors about her having children, and how she found comfort in knowing that being a mother isn’t the only way to feel fulfilled.

In her own perspective on this issue, Aniston stated, “We have all we need whether single or partnered, with or without children.” She emphasized, “The power to define beauty for ourselves lies solely in our hands.”

I believe it’s essential for us to take charge of our lives and set an example for the upcoming generation of women. Marriage and motherhood are not prerequisites for fulfillment or completeness. Each one of us gets to define our unique “happily ever after.”

A 2021 video clip of Vance has become widely shared online. Previously run for president, Hillary Clinton posted it on X with the comment, “Here’s a totally ordinary and understandable man, who definitely doesn’t harbor any animosity towards women and their freedoms.” (Sarcasm implied)

The repeated remark raises concerns about the Republican ticket’s ability to win over female voters, particularly with regard to reproductive rights.

Within just 32 hours after President Joe Biden announced the end of his reelection campaign, Harris managed to gather sufficient delegate support, making her the official nominee in a surprising turn of events.

As someone who closely follows political developments, I have observed that Trump’s choice of a relatively new and untested running mate, Mike Pence, raised some concerns among strategists. With less than two years of experience in Congress, there were fears that he might not be ready for the rigors and complexities of the vice presidency. However, Trump was drawn to Pence’s telegenic qualities and saw him as a young Abraham Lincoln in making. This comparison is a lofty one, but it speaks to Trump’s appreciation for strong and charismatic leadership. I believe that Trump took a political risk by selecting Pence, but he saw potential in him and believed that he could grow into the role. Only time will tell if this decision was wise or not.

The Harris team challenged Vance’s viewpoint, arguing that every American holds significance for the nation’s upcoming prospects.

“James Singer, a representative of the Harris campaign, criticized J.D. Vance and Donald Trump for making unpleasant personal attacks. This behavior aligns with their controversial Project 2025 agenda, which includes banning abortions, threatening our democracy, and weakening Social Security if Trump is re-elected,” he explained.

Trump has been making efforts to disassociate himself from it. According to Project 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services is recommended to actively advance an agenda that upholds the sanctity of life as a basic human right.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: In the given document, you won’t find any suggestions for reducing Social Security benefits. However, an organization like the Heritage Foundation has been advocating for changes in this area for quite some time. Instead, this plan focuses on expanding presidential authority significantly and even proposes terminating the jobs of up to 50,000 government employees.
