Jennifer Aniston: I'm not pregnant, I gained weight because I quit smoking

Actress Jennifer Aniston, who recently topped the 2011 Best Celebrity Bodies list, insists she's not pregnant and attributes her slightly rounder physique to post-smoking weight gain.

Jennifer, a longtime smoker, previously tried to kick the nicotine habit in 2002, but backslided.

'I Gained Weight Because I Quit Smoking'

Aniston, 42, also denied she's engaged to marry actor boyfriend Justin Theroux, 40, whom she has been dating for several months.

"Rumor No. 1: I am not planning to get married any time soon," Jennifer told Hello! magazine.

"I've been married once, and I don't know if I'll get married again, but I can tell you that as of this very moment, I have no plan to get married.

"And rumor No. 2: no, we're not pregnant. It's just I quit smoking, so I've gained a couple of pounds."

Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness

Aniston, a longtime smoker, recently made her directing debut for a short film for Lifetime TV called Project Five (Demi Moore also contributed her directing skills to the project). The five-part anthology chronicles the impact of cancer on people's lives.

“Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention," Jennifer has said.

Jennifer Aniston, who recently lent her support to Breast Cancer Awareness Month by touring a new cancer hospital near Washington, D.C., is in no rush to have a baby, despite media reports to the contrary.

"There's no desperation (to get pregnant)," said Aniston. "If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. "I'm at peace with whatever the plan is.
