Jennifer Aniston says she would 'love a relationship' as she opens up about difficulties of single life

Jennifer Aniston has shared some of the difficulties of single life as she reveals she would 'love a relationship'.

The Friends star, 53, clarified that she while she isn't looking to get married for a third time, she misses the 'support' she could count on when partnered up with someone.

“Never say never, but I don’t have any interest,” the actress replied when asked by Allure if she planned to get married again.

Jennifer has been married twice. She tied the knot with Brad Pitt in 2000 and the couple divorced in 2005; she then married her second husband, Justin Theroux in 2015 before splitting two years later in 2018.

The Marley & Me actress explained she enjoys the simple things and just wants to fall into somebody’s arms at the end of the day, which is totally relatable.

“I’d love a relationship. Who knows?” she said. “There are moments I want to just crawl up in a ball and say, ‘I need support.”

She added: “It would be wonderful to come home and fall into somebody’s arms and say, ‘That was a tough day’.”

Jennifer stayed single following her divorce from Justin, revealing she ‘had to do personal work’ based on experiences she had as a child that she hadn’t healed from.

But she now feels she’s entering a new era: “I feel like I’m coming through a period that was challenging and coming back into the light.”

The Morning Show actress didn’t want to start a new relationship until she worked on herself because it ‘wouldn’t be fair’ to the other person. “I don’t want to move into a house when there are now walls,” she reflected.

Amid the years of rumours about her dating life and secret pregnancies, the actress opened up about her attempts at becoming a mother by trying IVF on a number of occasions.

She told Allure in the cover interview that she did try and have a family, but unfortunately it wasn't on the cards for the star, who is best known for playing Rachel Green in Friends.

"I was trying to get pregnant," Aniston revealed. "It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road."

She said she tried every possible suggestion in a bid to become a mother and none of it sadly worked - a situation made harder by the 'years and years and years of speculation.'

"It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it," she added.

The actor ultimately explained that she would have 'given anything' for things to be different, but she's accepted that the 'ship has sailed' and shared that she wished she had her eggs frozen when she was younger.
