Really? Jennifer Aniston Advised to Get Brad Pitt’s Sperm After They Broke Up?
Friends, they sometimes have some pretty wacky pieces of advice – especially in the wake of nasty breakup. They may tell you to crank call him, throw away all belongings, or in the case of the dearly departed super agent Sue Mengers, advise your friend Jennifer Aniston to get some of her ex- Brad Pitt’s sperm. Yes, that would have been an interesting memento from their marriage, and would have made for an even more awkward situation between Brad, Angelina and Jennifer if Jen had decided to use the sperm to get pregnant. According to Maureen Dowd…
“After Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie, Mengers told me that she advised her beloved Jen to ask Brad for some of his sperm.” It sounds like Mengers thought that Brad’s DNA would be a good thing to have around.
Mengers “was a yenta who loved fixing people up, in work and in love,” Dowd stated, in an item on the New York Post. “If a match struck, she would urge the woman, ‘We have to close the deal.” Mengers evidently really liked to get couples to that next step.
Do you think Jennifer Aniston would have ever tried to procure some of Brad’s sperm for her own Brad bun in her oven?

bryant commented on Dec 23 11 at 8:22 pmRidiculous! How would she have gotten a “sample”? Brad left his marriage for HIMSELF, his marriage had been unhappy for years. If Jen wouldn’t have kids during the marriage why would she want to after? Thank God this silliness didn’t happen, Brad has said he is soo glad that it is ANGELINA who is the mother of his children.
Guest commented on Dec 23 11 at 8:48 pm@Bryant: Pitt also that the rumor that Jennifer didn’t want children was “utter BS,” so can we please stop with the “Jen wouldn’t have kids during the marriage” garbage? If this story is even true, it has nothing to do with Jennifer as she wasn’t the one asking for Pitt’s sperm or suggesting it. She has moved on just as he has. But as much as Pitt tries to re-write history, when he was with Jennifer he used to go on and on about how happy he was, how much he loved her, etc., and images of them together seemed to corroborate this. Obviously they weren’t meant to be (and I’m sure Aniston is delighted he isn’t the father of her children), but that doesn’t mean he was unhappy for years in the marriage. And if he was, he should have ended things. Given his recent statements that he and Jolie planned the adoption of Zahara together, he’s outed himself as a liar (either then or now), as in 2005 he and Jolie maintained they weren’t together and that she adopted Zahara on her own. The fact that Zahara was adopted less than 6 months from the time Pitt and Aniston separated, and less than 3 months from when Aniston filed for divorce, would seem to show that Pitt is also outing himself as planning a child with another woman, while still married and together with Aniston. He’s finally outed his cheating as Jolie did back in 2008.
bryant commented on Dec 23 11 at 10:34 pmI met my wife soon after i separated from my first wife…some times it works like that. I’m glad Brad didn’t have to wait to get his family. Funny how you choose to believe one thing you think brad said, but accuse him of lying about other things . brad said that it wasn’t true they split because of kids, there were many different reasons, i believe him, by the end of the relationship im sure he was glad they hadnt had kids in such an unhappy union.
leni commented on Dec 23 11 at 10:43 pmI’m glad they didn’t have kids. Divorce is much harder when kids are involved. It also seems they both are living the type of life they both really wanted ,now. I’m more of a Brad fan and am so happy for him.
deana commented on Dec 23 11 at 11:21 pmBrad and Jen began having problems their first year. This according to Jen herself in an interview in which she called herself insecure and neurotic. She also admitted in aother interview she had known a long time, the summer before they announced their split,the end of her marriage was coming.This was the interview where she joked about how it was a bad time for her therapist to have died[in poor taste to me]
Personally, I think they had basically split way before that. They spent A LOT of time apart, and Jen didn’t see to mind them being away from each other for months..saying she enjoyed the time to decorate as SHE wanted. [and they hadn't been married very long!] conveniently tabs forgot
all their trouble in paradise stories.Look up past interviews NOT tabloids. Watch Brad’s interview with Charlie Rose where he is asked if Jen was interested in his love of architecure…he says “she doesn’t understand what I want and I have no idea what SHE wants. I knew for sure then ,it was over.
Jen and her friends admit Brad was honest with her and there was no running around behind her back[he has always been an honest man] I honestly think Jen was ok with the split…but felt embarrased to see Brad fall for Angie so fast, she probably thought it was just a physical attraction…not understanding his attraction to Angie was less about that, and more about her kind heart, her and Brad’s desire to help others, and his desire to live a more fulfulling life.
Too bad Brad and Angelina had to be demonized due to Jen’s insecurities and embrace of being viewed as a victim.
bryant commented on Dec 23 11 at 11:30 pmlol What man would be happy with a wife who said she didn’t know if her husband was the love of her life
leni commented on Dec 23 11 at 11:49 pmI agree the marriage had been over a long time before they announced the separation. My dad remarried less than a year after mom died. Some thought it was too sudden but mom had been sick for a long time , we knew she was dying..dad had been mourning her for years so that is why his mourning time was shortened. I think Brad had been in mourning for his marriage for quite awhile. jmo
lol commented on Dec 24 11 at 12:04 amAs if she ever really wanted kids! You don’t go around saying you want kids and date long term, men who aren’t father material- John Mayer anyone? Or Vince Vaughn who told Oprah they had never talked about kids! SERIOUSLY? A woman HER age, who claims to want a family,doesn’t date someone for more than a year, and not at least TALK about the subject with her boyfriend! Come on!!
lol commented on Dec 24 11 at 12:14 amcont.
The other thing that cracked me up was why did Mengers think Brad would want to be the absentee in vitro father of Jen’s potential future children when he didn’t want to stick around to have them with her the old fashioned way? LOL. I mean, come on…a guy’s leaving you because you’re a freaking neurotic mess who he doesn’t want as the mother of his children…but he’s going to give you a sperm sample for auld lang syne? I’d LOVE to have been a fly on the wall for that convo between Brad and Jen. Acutually…it would have been a very short convo because after Brad picked himself up off the floor from laughing…he would run out of the door before she tried to drug him and get a sample while he was unconscious.
Guest commented on Dec 24 11 at 12:27 amWow a lot of people on here have select memories. Funny how people think the marriage was over long before they separated in January 2005, given there are interviews of Brad’s (not tabloids, actual interviews) from as late as fall 2004 where he is praising his then-wife Aniston, talking about how in love he is with her, etc. Similarly there are photos of them together supporting this through to their split. Both he and Aniston spoke about trying for a child together less than 6 months before they split, and there have been reports then and thereafter that they had fertility and/or miscarriage problems.
If you look at paparazzi pics available on the web of their lives together, you will also learn that they actually didn’t spend “long periods of time apart” during their marriage as is now sometimes conveniently re-written history. The most they went apart from each other was approximately a month.
Jennifer also never said she knew the summer before their split that the marriage was over. This is a story that circulates on the web but has zero basis in reality. Again, at that time, both of them were talking about trying for a child together. They even discussed the nursery they had designed in their home in interviews.
And it’s also a lie that Jennifer wasn’t supportive of his love of architecture. She actually arranged a birthday gift for him of a stay in one of his favorite architects’ designed properties. They admitted their personal styles differed when they were designing their home together, but this is a common occurrence amongst couples, and they also said they simply worked out and compromised on such things – also, what most couples do.
Also, Jennifer has been very charitable for years, as was Pitt when they were together. They simply didn’t choose to be outspoken about such things and release PR statements about their donations, etc. So this idea that Pitt needed Jolie to “help others” and “live a more fulfilling life” is BS as well. There are plenty in Hollywood who do as much or more for charities then Pitt and Jolie, including Aniston, but who don’t go around demanding the public to notice.
Finally, Jennifer and her friends did not admit there was no “running around behind her back.” In her 2005 VF interview she said she “would probably never know,” and that she “chose to believe her husband” (that no cheating had occurred) which reflected the extent of her knowledge at the time (and similarly her friends knowledge as well). However in 2008 AFTER Jolie admitted they fell in love during the M&MS shoot while Pitt and Aniston were still married, Aniston then said Jolie’s words were a confirmation of things that she hadn’t known to be true at the time. Since their initial denials of a relationship through the end of 2005, Pitt and Jolie have now given themselves away by subsequently changing their stories and outing their relationship as having begun far sooner then they initially admitted.
lol commented on Dec 24 11 at 2:16 amsorry guest, you are wrong…as jen said Herself “charity is not my thing” And she DID say that about knowing the marriage being over and about her therapist dying at a bad time..sorry if you aren’t aware of the interview..doesn’t make it less true though….Anyway… aside from people like you trying to rewrite history, this should be old news…Brad has his family and a woman who respects him AND says he IS the love of her life, Jen has her bought bf and publicist bought title “hottest woman of all time”. lol she isn’t even the hottest of her own time! Guess you could call it karma.
Get Real commented on Dec 26 11 at 12:31 pm@Guest….Get your facts straight. Jennifer DID ADMIT she knew her marriage to Brad Pitt was over the summer of 2004. Google her Harpers Bazaar interview from 2007-2008. She also BRAGGED how she was glad when Brad left town so she could change the house around they way she liked. Check People magazines archives for 2002-2003. Also Pitt filmed Troy for 6 months in 3 different countries. You can count on 1 hand how many times she visited him. (and still have fingers left over) The last 2 years of that marriage they were constantly APART. And let’s not forget the interview when Jen was asked if Brad was the love of her life. What was Jen’s response? That Brad was certainly a love IN HER LIFE. This was 2 years into the marriage..thank you very much. You Jen’s fans love to remember things the way they NEVER were. That marriage was toast before Brad laid eyes on Angelina Jolie.
