JD Vance slams Jennifer Aniston for dragging his daughter, 2, into ‘childless cat ladies’ drama

JD Vance has hit back at Jennifer Aniston for mentioning the republican vice presidential candidate’s daughter in response to his “childless cat ladies” comment.

JD Vance is clapping back at Jennifer Aniston, who mentioned the republican vice presidential candidate’s daughter while slamming him for saying “childless cat ladies” are running the country.

“That’s disgusting because my daughter is 2 years old,” the senator said of the “Friends” star’s comments while appearing on the Megyn Kelly Show on Friday, Page Six reports.

“And second of all, if she had fertility problems, as I said in that speech, I would try everything I could to try to help her because I believe families and babies are a good thing,” he continued.

Aniston, 55, who has opened up about her fertility struggles in the past, took aim at the “Hillbilly Elegy” author on social media earlier this week after comments he made in 2021 resurfaced online.

“All I can say is … Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day,” she said on her IG stories, which featured a tweet showing the politician’s words.

“I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”

Vance, who was recently chosen to be former President Donald Trump’s running mate, previously described democratic politicians like Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pete Buttigieg as “people without children” who were looking to control the “entire future of Democrats.”

“How does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?” he further said in July 2021.

Vance is father to sons Ewan, 6, and Vivek, 4, and daughter Mirabel, 2, all of whom he shares with his wife, Usha.

Aniston detailed her IVF journey with Allure Magazine in 2022, telling the outlet that she tried multiple times to get pregnant — even “going through IVF [and] drinking Chinese teas” during “all the years of [media] speculation.”

“I was throwing everything at it. I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”

Despite missing the opportunity, she also told the outlet she had “zero regrets” and actually felt “a little relief.”

Aniston has yet to reply to Vance’s new comments about her.
