The Friends star posted a rare photo with Curtis to mark his birthday, offering fans a glimpse into their quietly blossoming romance.
Jennifer Aniston is celebrating someone special — and she’s doing it with heart. On Sunday, November 2, the Friends alum shared a rare and intimate photo with her boyfriend Jim Curtis, marking his birthday with a cozy black-and-white snapshot and a caption that simply read:
“Happy birthday my love. Cherished ❤️.”
In the photo, Curtis beams as Aniston wraps her arms around him from behind, the kind of candid moment that speaks volumes without saying much. It’s one of the few public glimpses fans have gotten of the couple since they were first linked in July, when they were spotted looking close aboard a yacht off the California coast.
Since then, Curtis — a longtime author, hypnotherapist, and wellness coach — has quietly supported Aniston at key moments, including her appearance at The Morning Show Season 4 premiere in September. The pair also joined Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka for a double date in August, and were seen dining with Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid at Nobu in Malibu.
According to sources close to the couple, the relationship began as a friendship.
“They were introduced by a mutual friend,” one insider told PEOPLE. “Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work. He’s very different from anyone she’s dated before.”
Curtis has spent over two decades in the health and wellness space, helping clients “step into the fullest version of themselves,” according to his website. He’s known for his motivational videos and holistic approach to personal growth — something that seems to have resonated deeply with Aniston.
“She’s so used to going 100 miles an hour,” a source said. “Jim has helped her slow down and turn inward a bit. He really appreciates everything she’s built and supports her in a way that feels new.”
That support appears to be mutual. In early September, Aniston included Curtis in a summer-themed Instagram photo dump captioned “Thank you summer,” subtly confirming their relationship to fans. Later that month, the couple was spotted enjoying a casual dinner date in New York City, continuing their low-key approach to romance.
Despite the growing public interest, Aniston has remained private about her dating life. When asked about Curtis during a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, she smiled and replied:
“That’s very nice,” after the reporter noted that Curtis seemed like “a really special guy.”
The actress, now 56, has long been one of Hollywood’s most beloved figures — and her relationships have often played out under intense scrutiny. But with Curtis, the tone feels different: quieter, more grounded, and refreshingly personal.
As Aniston continues to balance her career with wellness and introspection, Curtis seems to be a calming presence — someone who meets her where she is, rather than where the spotlight expects her to be.
For fans, the birthday post was a rare but meaningful window into that connection. And for Aniston, it was a simple message that said everything: “My love. Cherished.”
