The one where Jennifer Aniston “hard-launched” her relationship with her man — her “cherished love!”

Seems like our Rachel Green has found her lobster, and she’s not afraid to make it official now!


On November 2 (as per the US time), the FRIENDS star took to Instagram to wish her man, Jim Curtis , on his birthday — while making her relationship Instagram official! Aniston, 56, posted a black-and-white photo on her Instagram grid — yep, not just an IG story — where she’s seen embracing Curtis from behind. Aniston captioned the photo: “Happy birthday my love! Cherished!" The loved-up photo speaks for a blissful couple, so in love — and the internet can’t help but go “awww” at Aniston-Curtis romance!

Notably, the birthday post from Aniston marked her first public acknowledgment of their romance.

While the internet, in unison, is “crying, you guys are so sweet,” and everywhere, the “heart is exploding," let’s take a look at Jennifer’s man!

Who is Jim Curtis ?

To start with, Jim Curtis is a multifaceted wellness professional: hypnotherapist, transformational coach, and published author. According to sources, his work spans helping people with anxiety, trauma, mindset shifts, and self-actualization. He claims to operate “at the powerful intersection of science and spirituality,” helping clients uncover subconscious blocks and rewire inner programming.


Though not a global household name, Curtis has run his wellness business for over two decades. A source told People that Aniston “had read his book and was familiar with his work.” He also has a presence on social media and has been linked to celebrity clients and wellness circles.

In short, he seems like a man who brings calm, coach-style energy rather than celebrity flash. In fact, a friend of Aniston reportedly described him as “a really calm and secure energy. Jen loves it.” In simpler terms, he might be the Zen for our Jen!


How Jen met her Zen: The J&J saga

Jennifer and Jim’s romance is a fresh breath of “everything organic” in the era of dating apps and fast swipes. The duo reportedly began through mutual friends and common interests, particularly in wellness, self-help, and a deeper emotional connection.


Talk about destiny finally finding its disciple!

Let’s take a look at the timeline:

In July 2025, Jennifer and Jim were spotted vacationing together in Mallorca, Spain, aboard a yacht with her close friends. In early September, Aniston made the relationship somewhat Instagram-official by posting a carousel including a photo of Jim from behind — not a hard-launch, but a soft and subtle reveal!

In the same month, Jim was seen supporting Jennifer at the premiere of her show, The Morning Show (Season 4), in New York, appearing alongside her — though not on the red carpet.

Although insiders still describe the relationship as “casually dating and having fun,” they also note that this is “different from anyone she’s dated before”.

We tend to agree, because, if “cherished love” isn’t special, what else is!


What makes him ‘special’ for Jennifer?

Aniston’s dating history is almost like an open book — and quite an illustrious one! From Brad Pitt to Justin Theroux, Jennifer has had her share of high-profile Hollywood romances! Her name has even been linked with the former President of the United States, Barack Obama — although that has been deemed as nothing but a ludicrous rumor.

But this time, Jim seems to be “the guy!”


What makes him her lobster?

First and foremost, there’s a complementary energy between the couple. Jennifer’s career has always been high-octane, whereas Jim has been described as someone who is fairly grounded and steady. As per PEOPLE, a source had stated that he helps her “turn inwards and slow down a bit”. Besides, there are shared values between them. Think wellness, mindfulness, and even their love for dogs — Jim has a rescue dog, Odie! What’s more? Their friend circles are quite gelled by now!

But perhaps what makes Jim tick is his centered energy, low-drama attitude, and relatively private life. In fact, Aniston’s friends “adore” him for his “nature,” calling him “amazingly calm” and fitting into her world in a way that previous romances did not.

To sum it up, J&J feels less like Hollywood fireworks and more like a stable, thoughtful connection.


Though Aniston and Curtis are being described as “casually dating” by some sources, there are hints they may be more than just a summer fling. Someone like Aniston presumably wouldn’t go overboard with Instagram-posting, had it been too casual!

Will this romance become something more, evolving into a solid relationship?

We shall have to wait to see!

Jen’s birthday is due in February next year. Here’s hoping that we get to see Jim featured in one of the celebratory photos!
