Jennifer Aniston opened up about motherhood on the Wondery+ podcast *Armchair Expert*. The *Friends* star said she wants her own DNA “in a little person.”

“It’s the only way — selfish or not, whatever it is, that’s how I wanted it,” said the 56-year-old actress. Jennifer Aniston has previously spoken about her struggles to conceive, including her attempt at in vitro fertilization (IVF).

She explained that she has reached a point where she no longer thinks about having children. The topic came up after co-host Monica Padman shared her experience with freezing her eggs.

Padman said she was uncertain about having children, noting that “maybe it’s okay if I don’t want to,” and then asked Aniston if she had found “peace” on the other side of that question.

“It’s so peaceful. But I must say, there comes a point where it’s out of my control. There’s literally nothing I can do about it,” Jennifer Aniston replied.

In a 2022 interview with Allure magazine, The Morning Show star said she has “no regrets” about how things turned out after her fertility journey.

“Here I am today. That ship has sailed. I actually feel a little relief now because there’s no more of that ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.’ I don’t have to think about it anymore.”
