Jennifer Aniston’s recent remarks on adoption might reportedly be a jab at her ex, Brad Pitt, and his ex, Angelina Jolie. The “Friends” actor made a blunt remark about adoption on “Armchair Expert,” explaining she never wanted to adopt and always hoped for a biological child.
The comment instantly pulled her past with Pitt back into the spotlight and revived the old love triangle with Jolie. Sources say the reaction was not a surprise to her.
Jennifer Aniston made the adoption comment knowing how it would land, says source
On the podcast, Jennifer Aniston’s remarks on adoption were a subtle nudge toward her ex, Brad Pitt. She was clear in stating, “I don’t want to adopt. I want my own DNA in a little person.” The line triggered the past, mostly because Pitt had adopted and raised children together with Jolie after his divorce from Aniston.
Aniston has been vocal before about her fertility journey, including IVF and the emotional turmoil. However, this was her most direct statement about adoption. Insiders exclusively told Rob Shuter that the timing and wording were intentional.
A Hollywood source told Shuter that “It was a loaded comment,” adding, “She knew exactly how it would land.”
However, a friend of Aniston resisted the backlash, claiming, “It wasn’t cold — it was honest. Jen’s tired of being told what kind of mother she ‘should’ be.” Meanwhile, a veteran publicist bluntly declared, “The subtext screamed Angelina.”
Another insider said the old rivalry never really faded, stating, “That triangle never really ended.” They added, “It just went quiet — until now.”
Neither her ex, Pitt, nor Jolie has responded publicly to Jennifer Aniston’s comment on adoption. At the same time, Aniston’s team is quiet after the podcast. What remains is a simple line that cuts through years of Hollywood drama. She said what she wanted and how she felt, and, according to sources, she “knew exactly how it would land.”
