Jennifer Aniston has shared her gratitude for her close friendship with her co-star Adam Sandler and his family.
The Friends actress revealed that Adam and his wife, Jackie Sandler, who share two daughters, send her flowers every Mother's Day to show their love and support amid her fertility struggles. The 53-year-old has been very open about her past fertility challenges and attempts at IVF.
"It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road," she said. "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 have given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour'."

Sources have since revealed to People that the Golden Globe actress is "really happy" with where she is right now and is "at peace" with her life.

They said: "She's always been happy, though. Her dogs are her kids to her and why she's always had them. Her IVF journey was private and hers, and those close to her knew but never asked."
The source added: "But she's at peace and is very happy in her life. She's in a great place, and she knows that. Kids or no kids, it didn't change her."
The star also talked about how she was criticised by the public when rumours emerged that her marriage with Brad Pitt ended because she didn't want children. However, Jennifer has put this rumour to bed as she said she 'just cared about my career' and that 'it was absolute lies'.

"God forbid a woman is successful and doesn't have a child," she added. "And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn't give him a kid."
