Jennifer Aniston was photographed Monday in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood appearing relaxed and smiling as she left a building dressed in a black vest, matching flared trousers and pumps.
The 56-year-old actress wore orange-tinted aviator sunglasses, gold jewelry and carried a small black purse while accompanied by a bodyguard. The outing came after Aniston posted a silhouette photograph on Instagram on Sunday that included a man identified by outlets as 49-year-old transformational coach Jim Curtis, a move described by some media as going "Instagram official."
Last Friday, photographers captured Aniston and Curtis entering the same black SUV separately as they headed to a dinner in Manhattan, and entertainment outlets have since cited a source telling the Daily Mail that the pair are frequently together. "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," the source said. "They are so hot and heavy, it's crazy. The amazing thing is that they click really well because they have the same interests like meditation, yoga, therapy, and dogs."
Curtis, who describes himself as a hypnotist and transformational coach, was photographed on Aug. 20 at an event in which Aniston was promoting her haircare company, LolaVie, which recently marked its fourth anniversary, according to reports. Curtis is listed on his website as hosting paid workshops and memberships; one workshop at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, was noted in publicity materials as a ticketed weekend event with per-person pricing, and the coach’s site lists membership and speaking fees.
In an April interview with Travel + Leisure, Aniston said she had used hypnosis to address a fear of flying, a detail outlets have pointed to as a possible connection between the two. Curtis has previously written a book and has been the subject of media reporting about past relationships and family matters.
Aniston remains active professionally. She is credited as an executive producer and returns as co-host Alex Levy in the fourth season of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, which is scheduled to premiere Sept. 17. Reports have noted production compensation figures for high-profile streaming series, and Aniston also has additional projects in development, including an adaptation of Jennette McCurdy’s memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died and a new version of the film 9 to 5.
Representatives for Aniston and Curtis did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Media organizations that first reported the sightings and relationship details attributed some information to on-the-record sightings and anonymous sources. The public-facing posts and recent appearances are the most recent indicators of Aniston’s personal and professional activities as she prepares for the release of The Morning Show’s new season and continues to promote her lifestyle and haircare ventures.
