Is Jennifer Aniston “upset” with her ex Justin Theroux because he is having a baby with Laura Harrier? This is the premise of a new rumor that is circulating online, but this has now been debunked.

According to a new tabloid story, Harrier is expecting a baby with Theroux. Aniston reportedly got a call from Theroux about it while she was filming her new TV series for Apple. An insider reportedly revealed that the news was a big blow to the “Friends” actress.

Aniston had a rough week prior to the call from Theroux, the tabloid story claimed. She was “in pieces” after learning that her ex was having a baby, and the insider went on to claim that she told her co-star of the new show Reese Witherspoon that she felt that someone was punishing her “with one bad thing after another.”

The anonymous source is said to have claimed that Aniston always “dreamed of having a baby with Justin.” She was planning on having two kids before her 50th birthday. Now, the insider supposedly claimed, the news of her ex starting a family with a woman half her age has “sent her spiraling.”

Theroux reportedly made the call personally “out of respect” for Aniston. The source also reportedly added that for Aniston the worst nightmare is that the baby is due before she can finalize the divorce.

This tabloid story has been debunked by Gossip Cop. To begin with, Harrier’s spokesperson has confirmed that the actress is not dating Theroux. So, the question of them having a baby and of him calling Aniston to break the news doesn’t even arise.

As far as Aniston is concerned, she recently celebrated her 50th birthday. According to a report by Page Six, the actress invited her exes to the birthday party. John Mayer and Brad Pitt were there to celebrate with their ex. Theroux, however, was missing.

Although Theroux didn’t attend Aniston’s birthday, he did wish her on Instagram. Theroux complimented his ex for being a loving, kind, funny and a “fierce” woman.
