Is Jennifer Aniston adopting a baby?
This week saw rumours swirl that the Friends actress was in the process of adopting a baby. It was claimed by Closer magazine that the 52-year-old actress told her former castmates Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry during filming of the Friends reunion that she was adopting a baby girl from a Mexican orphanage.
Perez Hilton added fuel to the flames by saying he thought it was a "done deal". He told Closer magazine: "I think she may have announced it to her friends as the adoption has already happened. She would only tell the cast if it was a done deal - if the paperwork is done and there's no chance of it falling through.
"It is a joyous thing, so why not? And as a first-time mum, she’ll have needed their support."

It has since been reported that The Morning Show actress is set to be a great aunt as Eilish Melick - the daughter of Jennifer's half-bother John Melick II - is pregnant with her first child.
Taking to Instagram last month, her niece displayed her baby bump with the caption: "Oooh baby, baby".

In 2016, Jennifer Aniston finally decided to address the numerous claims that she was pregnant or having a child and slammed the media scrutiny placed on women who choose not to have children.
She wrote on The Huffington Post: "I have grown tired of being part of this narrative. Yes, I may become a mother some day, and since I’m laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know. But I’m not in pursuit of motherhood because I feel incomplete in some way, as our celebrity news culture would lead us all to believe."
