Jennifer Aniston is enjoying a new chapter in her love life, and this time, it’s with wellness coach and author Jim Curtis. The pair have been quietly dating for several months, though the relationship only became public last year when Aniston shared an affectionate birthday post for Curtis on Instagram.
Speaking to TODAY on Jan. 26, Curtis opened up about the origins of their romance, describing it as simple yet meaningful. “The origin story? We were just introduced by friends,” he said. “Yeah, that’s it. We found out that we had mutual friends, and we started to just chat. It took a long time. We chatted for a long time, and we became close.”
Aniston’s November 2025 Instagram post seemed to confirm the romance. The “Morning Show” star shared a photo of herself hugging Curtis, captioned: “Happy birthday my love. Cherished ❤️.” Curtis responded with a simple, playful emoji: “😘.”
Although the pair have kept their relationship mostly private, Curtis told TODAY that they’ve been together for nearly a year. “A long time,” he admitted. “Months now, almost close to a year.” Host Craig Melvin jokingly noted that Curtis appeared to be blushing, “letting him off the hook” from further questions about Aniston.
For fans, this romance is a fresh story in Aniston’s well-documented love life. Aniston, 56, was previously married to Brad Pitt and later Justin Theroux, whom she divorced in 2018. Curtis, 50, is known for his work in health and wellness, having spent more than two decades guiding clients toward better physical and mental health.
Curtis began his career on Wall Street in the 1990s but pivoted after a serious health challenge. At age 22, he was diagnosed with lesions on his spinal cord that caused muscle spasms, partial paralysis, a chronic limp, and headaches. “I just knew that there was something more for me,” he said. “Less stress, easier on my body, and I wasn’t great at the job, so it was time to do something different.”
That change led Curtis to a career in wellness coaching, combining personal experience with professional guidance to help others improve their quality of life. His upcoming book, The Book of Possibility, is set for release this September and promises to offer readers a taste of his one-on-one coaching approach.
“The Book of Possibility is the closest thing to working one-on-one with me,” Curtis said. “So many people want to work one-on-one with me, I can’t see them all, but this book will have guided visualizations recorded on a special app. It will have writing assignments, and it has all sorts of stories from clients I’ve worked with to help inspire people to live a better life.”
Curtis’s work in wellness, paired with his thoughtful nature, seems to have resonated with Aniston, who has often emphasized mindfulness and balance in her own life. Their relationship, though still private, reflects a shared commitment to personal growth and well-being.
While Aniston’s fans have eagerly watched for signs of her personal life post-divorce, Curtis has kept a relatively low profile, letting their relationship unfold naturally. This measured approach appears to have helped the couple establish a strong foundation, away from the constant scrutiny of Hollywood tabloids.
Their romance highlights a softer, more personal side of Aniston, one that is often overshadowed by her Hollywood persona. Fans have responded warmly to the news, with many expressing excitement over the pairing and curiosity about Curtis’s influence on Aniston’s life and wellness journey.
Curtis’s story—overcoming serious health challenges, transitioning from Wall Street to wellness, and now navigating a high-profile romance—adds a compelling layer to the narrative. His dedication to helping others, combined with a thoughtful approach to life and relationships, makes him a notable match for Aniston.
As the couple continues their journey together, Curtis’s upcoming book will offer a glimpse into the principles and practices that define his life and work, potentially giving readers insight into how he approaches both wellness and personal connections.
In a world where celebrity romances often play out under intense public scrutiny, Aniston and Curtis appear to have found a balance, enjoying their time together while maintaining privacy and focus on their respective passions.
For now, the public can enjoy watching a new chapter in Aniston’s life unfold—a romance built on friendship, mutual respect, and shared values.
