    Her life, her choices.
    She is wealthy and famous, is successful, could get married if she wanted to.
    So she doesn't have kids? So what? Maybe she doesn't want any.

    It's only a 'problem' if you personally consider the sole life's worth of a woman to be judged on whether she have given birth or not.

    It's the same for Kylie Minogue. Never mind any achievement she has made in life, she is unmarried and childless and must therefore go home every night crying into her knitting, because she has 'failed' allegedly!

    She's a problem?

    To/for whom?

    Messrs Adebolajo and Adebowale are what you'd call 'problems'.

    There is a pressure from the media for women to have "it all"
    Successful career, relationship, at least one kid and of course still look 20 and be a size 6 etc

    The media do like to play up the "poor jen" story because it gets clicks.
    When was the last time she was in anything that was really popular ?
    But the Brangelina thing was a big A list Scandal (and they don't happen very often) with lots of juicy details so they keep taking pics of her and trying to create a story about poor sad Jennifer who never married again and never had a brooooooood etc.
    I wonder what she really thinks of it all.

    Turned 45, not married, no kids, can't keep a man :confused:

    I know she smokes a lot and probably smells like Kate Moss but seriously, she must have a problem?


    Keeping a man :D

    Is it the 1940's ;-)

    Yes must be a terrible concern for Kylie looking terrific in her forties and working on primetime BBC.

    She must be so worried about her life :D

    Multi-millionaire, hugely successful, extremely popular. I'd say she's probably very happy in her life.

    Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they're taking it personally, or that you've hit a nerve :)

    As to some people who've said she's not a great actress, I'd disagree: she's good actress, she just chooses some weird, not very funny scripts.

    If anyone's seen the movie 'The Good Girl' she's great in that, and it's totally serious, not a rom com.

    You didn't. :confused:

    You made your own backwards views obvious, and some other posters here effortlessly destroyed your OP and argument in general.

    Your delusion is rather impressive. ^_^

    "I dont want to be married.." "I'm x and not married" etc etc etc...

    so what? no one is commmenting about you. aniston clearly does want to be married, she's been there before and keeps trying to get married with other men since then..

    each relationship keeps breaking up, the question asked is why?

    Most likely because she rushes into trying to get married with people when they are both not ready.

    Says who? I think it is as simple as the mags & rags being obsessed with the idea rather than Jen herself.

    Okay if she does not want kids(the press are the ones that insist she does), is single though her team do push the latest romance every time she has a movie out.

    The big problem with Jen is:

    Mid forties, she is no longer the hip rom com queen, she is not a movie opener. Sorry but that is the way Hollywood works. She played herself in 99.9% of the movies she made anyway. Only one movie she stepped out of the romantic type and that was way back in the 90s. Never happened again, not sure if The Good Girl was a serious attempt to move into serious acting or a lets try something different.

    She needs to get herself a nice TV comedy show and realize she was never movie material to start with.

    That's true but she shares the blame with the mags and rags. It's her own very cynical PR that has created and maintained the 'poor hard done by' Jen persona that keeps her in the news/relevant. Without that, she wouldn't have much of a media profile as her movies are, at best, throwaway fluff.

    Agree. She has good comic timing and could have had a credible tv career.

    Not really. I found it quite pleasant that the responses in here destroyed the sexist OP. Do we call men failures if they are childless and single?

    On topic, I'm far from a fan of Jennifer but she's doing okay really. Some decent comedies, the odd turkey. She lacks range, too - does she play anything other than a peppy, sarcastic mid-thirties lady?

    Poor old Jen. She could be spending her life with someone like you instead of being rich and beautiful and free to date whoever she wants. What a loser.

    Having children isn't the marker of success. It's not like you have kids and then BAM! you're finally successful.

    But so many people - especially other women - think if you don't have or want children you are abnormal and to be treated with distrust and disdain. As a childfree by choice woman who has just entered her 30s, I've been met with some very funny looks over the years when I've said I don't want children.

    People also think not wanting children means you hate children. Maybe that's true for the more fanatical childfree, but you just can't generalise like that.
