Jennifer Aniston officially introduced her relationship with Jim Curtis, a Hollywood hypnotist often referred to as a ‘love guru,’ on Instagram this past Sunday.
The 56-year-old Friends actress celebrated Curtis’s 50th birthday by posting a charming black-and-white photograph of herself embracing him.
‘Happy birthday my love. Cherished,’ she captioned the post, along with a red heart emoji. Curtis commented on the snap with a kissing face emoji.
In the heartwarming image, Aniston is seen wrapping her arms around Curtis from behind, both sharing joyful smiles and holding hands tightly.
Aniston, who was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and Justin Theroux from 2011 to 2017, sparked romance rumors with Curtis after they were spotted vacationing in Mallorca, Spain, during the Fourth of July weekend.
The couple recently took their relationship public when Curtis accompanied Aniston to the premiere of the third season of her Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show.

Her pal Amy Schumer wrote, ‘Beautiful couple. Healing kind angels ❤️.’

Another added, ‘You guys are very cute.’
The snap appeared to be taken at Curtis’ birthday bash. He shared an Instagram post on Saturday recapping some moments from the party, though he didn’t include any of Aniston.
’50 and feeling good! Birthday recap part 1. Thank you for all the wishes and love. So grateful for you my friends, family and community,’ he wrote in the caption.
It comes after Curtis recently made a rare comment about their romance.
This week he took part in a Q&A where he answered the question: ‘How to find love at 42?’ from a fan.
He replied saying: ‘That’s a great question, same as you do at 22 and 32 but with more confidence, more experience and more authenticity.’
‘You’re not old. First love yourself and recognize that you are the perfect age.’
‘And that life is not over at 42. When you are 62 and 72, you will look back at 42 and wish that you were that age.’

‘So start now. Go out, open yourself to love. Make eye contact and smile. Connect with people, and most importantly, love yourself. When you love yourself, you will magnetize more love to you.’

Curtis also supported Aniston at the season three premiere of The Morning Show, however kept a low-profile.
Video obtained by the Daily Mail shows the actress stepping out of their SUV and stopping to let photographers snap photos before she heads into the building, while Curtis remained in the vehicle until she was completely out of sight.
Later in the evening, Curtis was also seen sweetly watching the actress pose on the red carpet from the far side with a small smile on his face, per People.
In July, Aniston and Curtis were spotted on a yacht as they vacationed together in Mallorca, Spain, with Bateman, his wife, and other friends.
‘They do everything together, they are always together, and if they have to be away from each other, they are on the phone all the time. They are so hot and heavy, it’s crazy,’ a source told the Daily Mail in late August.
The person with direct knowledge added, ‘The amazing thing is that they click really well because they have the same interests like meditation, yoga, therapy and dogs.’

Aniston has been following him on social media for nearly two years.
In August 2023, she opened up about the long-term effect her parents’ bitter 1980 divorce had on her love life.

Speaking with WSJ. Magazine, she admitted that her ‘difficult’ childhood experiences didn’t leave her desperate to say ‘I do.’
‘It was always a little bit difficult for me in relationships, I think, because I really was kind of alone,’ she explained.
She admitted it felt ‘easier’ to be alone.
‘I didn’t like the idea of sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn’t really know how to do that,’ she said, before adding, ‘So it was almost easier to just be kind of solo. So I didn’t have any real training in that give-and-take.’
Last month Aniston revealed she endured a 20-year secret battle to have a baby. The star gave a rare interview to Harper’s Bazaar UK’s November issue, about the false narrative that she didn’t want to become a mother because she’s a ‘selfish workaholic’.
She said: ‘They didn’t know my story, or what I’d been going through over the past 20 years to try to pursue a family, because I don’t go out there and tell them my medical woes.’
‘That’s not anybody’s business. But there comes a point when you can’t not hear it – the narrative about how I won’t have a baby, won’t have a family, because I’m selfish, a workaholic.’
Aniston was married to Pitt from 2000 until 2005. They split after he met actress Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
In 2022, Jennifer tragically revealed she had unsuccessfully tried IVF – and admitted she wished she had frozen her eggs years earlier.
‘It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,’ Jennifer said at the time.

‘My late 30s, 40s, I’d gone through really hard sh[*]t, and if it wasn’t for going through that, I would’ve never become who I was meant to be. I was trying to get pregnant.’
‘All the years and years and years of speculation… It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it.’
‘I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, “Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.” You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed. But I have zero regrets.’
Jennifer was aged 35 when she split from Brad and previously said the suggestion he left her because she wouldn’t give him a child was an ‘absolute lie’.
