Jennifer Aniston has experienced her share of high-profile romances over the years — but her latest relationship might be the most unexpected chapter of all. The Friends icon, 56, is currently dating Jim Curtis, a hypnotherapist, public speaker, and wellness entrepreneur — a pairing that has surprised fans and quietly captured public curiosity.
The couple was first linked in July 2025, and within months, they made their relationship Instagram official. Since then, they’ve kept a low profile, choosing private dinners and close-circle gatherings over red carpet appearances. Now, Curtis has finally opened up about how their love story began — and revealed that it all started in the simplest way possible.
Speaking to TODAY on January 26, Curtis shared the origin of their relationship. “Friends just introduced us,” he said. “We found out we had mutual friends, and we started to just chat.” What began as casual conversation slowly evolved into something deeper, but not without hesitation. According to Curtis, neither rushed into romance.
“It took a long time,” he explained. “We chatted for a long time, and we became close.” He added that the pair spent an extended period in the “talking phase” before deciding to take their connection seriously — suggesting a relationship built on patience rather than impulse.
When asked about how long they’ve been together, Curtis offered a vague but telling response. “A long time. Months now — almost close to a year,” he told host Craig Melvin, confirming that the relationship has quietly grown stronger behind the scenes.
Fans first got a glimpse of their romance when Aniston shared a heartfelt birthday post for Curtis on her social media. Celebrating his Golden Jubilee, she posted a black-and-white photo of the two together, captioned: “Happy birthday, my love. Cherished.” The post quickly went viral, gathering over 1.7 million likes and 11,000 comments, with fans expressing surprise and support for the new couple.
Despite Aniston’s immense global fame, the pair has chosen to keep their relationship largely private. Sightings of the couple have been limited to intimate outings with friends, reinforcing their preference for a low-key romance away from constant media attention.
Jennifer Aniston’s romantic history has long been in the public eye. She was famously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, followed by a marriage to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018. She has also been linked to Vince Vaughn and John Mayer in the past. However, her relationship with Curtis marks a departure from her usual Hollywood pairings — blending stardom with wellness culture in a refreshing new dynamic.
While neither has spoken extensively about future plans, one thing is clear: Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis are taking love at their own pace — quietly, thoughtfully, and on their own terms.
