Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend, Jim Curtis, recently shared some behind-the-scenes details about their blossoming relationship.
During an appearance on the “Today” show this past Monday, Curtis, a 50-year-old hypnotherapist, revealed how he and the beloved “Friends” star first crossed paths.
“We were introduced by mutual friends,” Curtis explained while discussing his forthcoming book, “Book of Possibility.”
“It was quite simple. We discovered we had friends in common and began talking,” he added.
In a lighthearted moment, co-host Craig Melvin quipped about whether iconic “Friends” characters Joey or Ross had orchestrated the introduction.
Curtis, joking that it was “all the ‘Friends’ stars,” then clarified that they “chatted for a long time” and “became close.”
“It took a long time,” he said — but stayed tight-lipped when asked exactly how long he and the actress have been an item.
“A long time,” Curtis told Melvin. “Months now, almost close to a year.”
When the journalist joked that he needed to stop putting Curtis “on the spot” because he was “kind of blushing,” Curtis confirmed, “OK, yeah. I sure am.”
He and Aniston, 56, were first spotted together last summer vacationing in Spain with her A-list pals.
Four months after their July 2025 getaway, the duo went Instagram-official.
Aniston posted a black-and-white shot from Curtis’ 50th birthday party in November 2025, writing, “Happy birthday my love. Cherished ❤️.”
Curtis, for his part, shared similar snaps at the time and gushed, “If this is a dream I don’t want to wake up. ❤️.”
Later that same month, Aniston praised her “extraordinary” partner in an Elle interview, calling him “very special, very normal and very kind.”
The “Morning Show” star has been married twice before to actors Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux — and the latter gave Curtis his stamp of approval last year.
The “Leftovers” alum, who has moved on with pregnant wife Nicole Brydon Bloom, made headlines for “liking” Aniston and Curits’ Instagram hard-launch.
As for Curtis’ love life, he is divorced from Rachel Napolitano, with whom he welcomed a now-teenage son named Aidan.
