Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend, Jim Curtis, found himself blushing during a television appearance as he opened up about the origins of their relationship. The hypnotherapist and wellness expert, 50, appeared on The Today Show this week, where host Craig Melvin seized the opportunity to inquire about his high-profile romance with the Friends star.
A Blushing Revelation on National Television
When directly asked how he first met the 56-year-old actress, Curtis responded with a modest account. "We were just introduced by friends. That's it," he explained. "We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat." He emphasised that their connection did not immediately escalate into a romantic partnership, noting, "It took a long time, we chatted for a long time and we became close."
Pressed further on the duration of their relationship, Curtis remained somewhat vague but disclosed, "A long time, months now, almost close to a year." As the conversation progressed, Melvin observed Curtis's visible embarrassment, remarking, "I'm not gonna put you on the spot anymore because you're kind of blushing right now." To which Curtis candidly admitted, "Okay, yeah I sure am."
From Social Media Hints to Public Confirmation
The couple first sparked romance rumours in July 2025, when they were spotted together in Mallorca, Spain, in the company of friends including Jason Bateman and Amy Schumer. Aniston had previously hinted at the relationship on Instagram in September of that year, posting a series of photos where the penultimate image showed the back of a man's head, later identified as Curtis.
They made their relationship Instagram-official in November, with Aniston sharing a black-and-white photo of them embracing to mark his birthday, captioned "Happy birthday my love. Cherished" and tagging his account. This public acknowledgment followed years of intense media scrutiny over Aniston's love life, which has included high-profile marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.
Aniston's Perspective on Her "Normal" Partner
In a recent interview with Elle magazine, Aniston spoke warmly about Curtis's profession and character. "Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does," she said. "He's quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people. He's very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It's a beautiful thing to commit your life to."
Curtis is a transformational coach who has developed a signature hypno-coaching approach. His website states that he assists clients in "releasing subconscious blocks holding you back, rewiring your inner programming, and awakening the truth of who you really are."
Insights into Their Growing Bond
A source close to the actress recently told People magazine, "She had a great end to the year and feels really good about where things are with Jim. She's excited about this new year and what's ahead, especially with Jim by her side now. Jen's always been fine on her own and comfortable being single, but her relationship with Jim is just different." The insider added, "She's very happy and comfortable. He's just so sweet and supportive of her. He makes her everyday life better."
Curtis was previously married to Rachel Napolitano, with whom he shares a teenage son named Aidan. Meanwhile, Aniston has been vocal in dispelling long-held myths about her past, particularly regarding her divorce from Brad Pitt. She told Harpers Bazaar UK last year, "They didn't know my story," referencing her private struggles with IVF treatments, and added, "That's not anybody's business."
As the couple continues to navigate their relationship in the public eye, this latest television appearance offers a rare and candid glimpse into their genuine connection, marked by mutual respect and a blossoming romance that appears to be thriving away from the Hollywood spotlight.
