Jennifer Aniston is embracing her relationship with hypnotherapist and transformational life coach Jim Curtis, a departure from her typically private approach to romance. The couple, who have been together for over a year, are reportedly very happy, though sources indicate Aniston has no intention of marrying again. Aniston, who has been married twice before, to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, has stated she will never marry again.
Aniston is set to publicly discuss her relationship with Curtis when she interviews him at The 92nd Street Y in Manhattan. The event, which celebrates Curtis's new book, "The Book of Possibility," sold out quickly. This marks Aniston's first long-term relationship since her 2018 divorce from Theroux.
Sources close to Aniston suggest that her relationship with Curtis is successful because it offers elements she has not experienced before. "She doesn’t feel like she has to work to impress him or keep him," a source told Page Six. "She doesn’t feel like she has to compete with other, more famous women who are after him." The source added that Aniston "never ever questions where she stands with him – he has zero hesitation about letting her know that he is crazy about her and is totally devoted."
Curtis, who is not as famous as Aniston's previous partners, has also seen his career benefit from the public attention. He appeared on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in June to promote his book, with insiders noting his high-profile romance has boosted his career. He has been introduced to Aniston's inner circle, joining her and friends like Courteney Cox and Jason Bateman on a vacation in July. The group, which included actor Pedro Pascal, was seen on a yacht trip in Mallorca, Spain. Recently, Curtis joined Aniston and former "Friends" co-stars Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow for dinner in Los Angeles.
Describing their meeting, Curtis told "Today's" Craig Melvin that they were introduced by friends and "found out we had mutual friends and we started to just chat and it took a long time." He also shared his struggles with chronic pain due to a spinal condition, which he has addressed using hypnosis. Aniston referred to Curtis as "quite extraordinary" in an interview with Elle last November, praising his work helping people heal and move through trauma.
Despite the public nature of their relationship, sources emphasize Aniston's firm stance on marriage. "Jen also has been clear with Jim that she is never getting married again," a friend revealed. "She has zero interest in that institution and is never going back." The friend added that Curtis "more than understands and his belief in soul mates and spiritual connections makes him more than amenable to the fact that a piece of paper is unnecessary."
