Why Adam Sandler Sends Jennifer Aniston Flowers Every Mother's Day
Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler's bond is so strong that the comedic actor makes an extraordinary gesture towards his longtime friend every year.
In a Wall Street Journal profile published on Aug. 22, the Friends alum revealed that the 50 First Dates star and his wife Jackie Sandler send her flowers on every Mother's Day.
There's a sweet reason behind the gift: it's a way to acknowledge the 54-year-old's fertility struggles.
Aniston, who recently starred with Sandler in Netflix's Murder Mystery 2, and previously shared screentime with him in Murder Mystery and Just Go With It, had previously candidly spoken about how difficult it was to experience tabloids speculating about whether or not she was expecting while being unable to bear a child of her own.
"I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road," she shared in a cover story for Allure.
Aniston added, "All 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. I would've given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.' You just don't think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed."
However, the Horrible Bosses star admitted that she's accepted she'll likely never have a child. "I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, 'Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.' I don’t have to think about that anymore."
