The speculations that Jennifer Aniston is expecting her first child have been denied a couple of times but the rumor mill doesn’t seem to stop turning.
Jennifer and her husband Justin Theroux, 44, were recently spotted in New York City making their way into the famed Nobu restaurant for a romantic dinner date. The actress donned a loose black camisole top paired with capri pants, her alleged baby bump was nowhere to be seen. Justin, 44, was casual cool as he followed his wife into the restaurant.
The couple, who wed in Los Angeles in August 2015, have been spending time in New York City after a romantic holiday in the Bahamas.
InTouch magazine was largely responsible for the rumors because they claimed that she was, indeed, pregnant after photos were snapped of her and Justin in The Bahamas.
“It is just another total fabrication,” her representative clarified to Us Weekly. “Jennifer is not pregnant.”
“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,” he added to Entertainment Tonight.

Earlier this year, the actress expressed her desire to start a family. “It’s been a want. We’re doing our best. There’s something bigger I’m interested in doing. It can look like a baby… something greater is calling out to me,” she told the Hollywood Reporter in January 2015. “The accusation that I’ve put my career before the want, the desire to be a mother. 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 that is.”
It’s been 10 months since she tied the knot; though their first year of marriage so far is proving to be a blissful one, Jennifer is still reeling from the sudden death of her mother Nancy on May 25.
“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,” she said. “I don’t think it’s fair,” she told Allure in January 2015. “You may not have a child come out of your vagina, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t mothering — dogs, friends, friends’ children.”
