It’s not the first time a woman in the public eye has spoken out about people’s relentless fascination and curiosity with child-free women.

Jennifer Aniston famously penned a blistering op-ed for The Huffington Post, in which she directly addressed tabloid speculation about her personal life – arguing powerfully that the way famous women are treated by the media reflects a wider culture of sexism.

“For the record, I am not pregnant,” she wrote. “What I am is fed up… yes, I may become a mother some day.

“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. I resent being made to feel ‘less than’ because my body is changing and/or I had a burger for lunch and was photographed from a weird angle and therefore deemed one of two things: ‘pregnant’ or ‘fat.’”

Naomie Harris has a message for everyone asking when she’s going to have children
