Jennifer Aniston 'pregnant with her first child' with husband Justin Theroux

The Friends star was spotted in the Bahamas this week with her husband of nearly one year and was pictured showing off her 'baby bump' as the couple relaxed on a beach.

“She’s pregnant,” a friend of the couple reportedly told In Touch magazine.

“She and Justin are ecstatic. Jen has wanted to have a baby with Justin for years. Their baby news came at a bad time in her life, too — she just lost her mother, and she and Justin almost broke up. But now this surprise pregnancy has turned the worst of times into the best of times.”

Jennifer’s mother passed away at the end of May at the age of 79 following a long illness.

Pregnancy rumours have constantly followed the 47-year-old throughout her career, even becoming a bit of a joke to the star.

“It is such an issue of, like, 'Are you married yet? Are you going to have your babies yet?' It's just constant. It's like, I don't know!” she said on the Today show two years ago.

“I don't have this sort of checklist of things that have to be done, and if they're not checked, then I've failed some part of my feminism or my value as a woman because I haven't birthed a child.”

“I've birthed a lot of things and feel like I've mothered many things, and I don't think it's fair to put that pressure on people.”

The actress wed Theroux after a three-year engagement in August 2015 in an intimate, private ceremony in their Los Angeles home.
