The Today Show hosts have mixed opinions about Jennifer Aniston's new beau.
During the Monday, November 3, episode of TODAY With Jenna & Friends, Jenna Bush Hager and Craig Melvin weighed in on the actress' latest announcement that she is dating hypnotist Jim Curtis.
Craig Melvin guest co-hosted 'TODAY With Jenna & Friends.'
"That's her boyfriend. That's her boo. He's handsome, right?" Bush Hager, 43, gushed as a photo of the celebs flashed on the screen.
"I like girls, but that's a handsome man," Melvin, 46, agreed, noting that the Golden Globe winner seems "smitten."
"She loves him," the talk show host speculated, before quickly backpedaling. "I mean, we don't know that. We're just interpreting."

Craig Melvin was shocked to learn that Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend is a 'hypnotist.'
Bush Hager went on to fill Melvin in on Curtis' "backstory" as a "social media guru" and hypnotist.
"Let me stop you. He's a hypnotist? How do we know she hasn't been hypnotized?" the broadcaster interrupted his co-host.
"Just looking at him, I think anybody would be hypnotized," the mom-of-three teased.
When Bush Hager told Melvin that Curtis is also a "love expert," he remained skeptical.
"Is he? Is he a love expert? Well, I should talk to the guy," Melvin said.

As of July, Aniston had reportedly been secretly dating Curtis for several months, and things were getting serious.
"They are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together," an insider spilled. "They are happy and really into each other."
The duo started as friends after being introduced by one of the wellness guru's clients. Over the summer, they were "hanging out a lot" at her home in Los Angeles, Calif.
