Jim Curtis and Jennifer Aniston were first romantically linked in July 2025.

Jim Curtis and Jennifer Aniston hard-launched their relationship on Instagram last November.
By November, they became Instagram official, as the Friends star called him “my love” in a birthday post.
That month, they made their first public appearance together at Elle’s Women in Hollywood party. At the event, Aniston’s friend Adam Sandler told a reporter, “I can honestly say Jen is the best in so many ways and one of the most rocksteady humans I’ve ever met. Me and [my wife], Jackie, are so happy that you and Jim found each other and are having the love affair you two deserve. We love you, Jim.”
Aniston fawned over her man in her Elle Women of the Year cover story: “Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does. He’s quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people.”
The TV star called Curtis “very special” and “very normal.”
She added, “[He] wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It’s a beautiful thing to commit your life to.”
