The reason behind Jennifer Aniston's 'baby bump' is something we can all relate to


June 16, 2016

There's nothing better than jetting away to a foreign land where nobody knows you, enjoying some delicious food and relaxing in a bikini. Unless you're Jennifer Aniston, of course.

The Friends star has been plagued with pregnancy rumours once again, after she was spotted on holiday in the Bahamas with husband Justin Theroux, showing off what some US magazines were quick to label a baby bump.

US reports claimed Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were "expecting a miracle baby"

According to InTouch, 47-year-old Jennifer's "miracle baby had saved her 10-month marriage to Justin" and they'd already "picked out names and a theme for the nursery". Which is all very nice. Except she's not actually pregnant.

The "baby bump" pictures went viral, forcing Jennifer's representative to comment. In a statement to ET, they explained: "She is not pregnant. Shame on InTouch for making up the whole story, but this is not the first time they have done so. What you see is her having just enjoyed a delicious big lunch and her feeling safe on private property."

But she'd simply enjoyed a big lunch while on holiday

Fans of the actress have commented negatively on the "body shaming" reports, and Jennifer has previously spoken out about the pressure women are put under to start a family.

She told Allure: "I don't like [the pressure] that people put on me, on women – that you've failed yourself as a female because you haven't procreated. I don't think it's fair. You may not have a child… but that doesn't mean you aren't mothering – dogs, friends' children." Jennifer added: "This continually is said about me: that I was so career-driven and focused on myself; that I don't want to be a mother, and how selfish is that."
