Jennifer Aniston goes Instagram official with her new flame.
After months of swirling rumors, Friends star Jennifer Aniston has officially confirmed her relationship with wellness coach Jim Curtis. The actress, who is now 56, shared a heartfelt black-and-white photo on Instagram, capturing the couple in an intimate embrace to celebrate Curtis’ birthday.
“Happy birthday my love,” Aniston captioned the post, which shows Curtis beaming as she wraps her arms around him. She added the word “Cherished” followed by a red heart emoji, offering fans a rare glimpse into her private life and putting to rest the speculation about her romantic status.
A Relationship Under the Radar
The couple’s relationship was first speculated in July when they were seen getting cozy on a yacht. Since then, Curtis, an author and hypnotherapist, has been a supportive presence at significant events in Aniston’s life. He was notably by her side at The Morning Show Season 4 premiere in September and joined her for a double date with Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka in August.
According to a source who spoke to People, “They are casually dating and having fun. They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends. Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work.” The source added, “He’s very different from anyone she’s dated before.”
Jim Curtis: A New Kind of Partner
Known for his focus on mindfulness and transformation, Curtis seems to fit seamlessly into Aniston’s world, which is characterized by early mornings, collagen coffee, and a commitment to inner calm. On his website, Curtis describes his work as “operating at the powerful intersection of science and spirituality.”
This relationship marks a significant shift from Aniston’s past high-profile romances. Curtis’ unique approach to life and wellness appears to resonate with Aniston, who has been open about her journey toward personal fulfillment and happiness.
Public Reaction and Aniston’s Journey
Aniston’s Instagram post was met with an outpouring of love from fans. One follower commented, “This version of you is my fav! Healthy, happy, successful and in love! You really deserve this, Jen!” Another fan added, “You are GLOWING! You go girl — we’re cheering for you forever and always.”
Speaking to People in 2022, Aniston reflected on life after her divorce from Justin Theroux, saying, “I’m interested in finding a fantastic partner and just living an enjoyable life and having fun with one another. That’s all we should hope for.”
Aniston first hinted at her relationship with Curtis earlier this year, sharing a “Thank you summer” Instagram post that included him among the photos. The couple has since been seen dining in New York and leaving Nobu in Malibu with friends Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid.
