Naturally, fans on the internet were sent into a frenzy after seeing The Morning Show star’s new cover, and many headed to Twitter to rave about her “timeless beauty” and “courage and strength” in the coinciding profile piece.

Aniston added that while she still does feel disappointed with how everything turned out, she ultimately doesn’t have regrets after trying her best. “I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed,” she noted. Aniston added, “I have zero regrets. I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.’ I don’t have to think about that anymore.”

The Emmy winner also stressed that it wasn’t the pregnancy rumors that upset her the most, but rather, the insinuation from critics that she was “selfish” for never having children. She said to Allure, “(People thought) I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child. And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid. It was absolute lies. I don’t have anything to hide at this point.”

The We’re The Millers actress was famously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2017, and was asked if she ever thinks about marriage again in her future. “Never say never, but I don’t have any interest,” she replied. “I’d love a relationship. Who knows? There are moments I want to just crawl up in a ball and say, ‘I need support.’ It would be wonderful to come home and fall into somebody’s arms and say, ‘That was a tough day.'”
