Jennifer Aniston Sparks Romance with Hypnotist Jim Curtis
Okay, I’ll explain, but try to keep up. Jennifer Aniston’s love life has taken an unexpected turn with wellness coach and hypnotist Jim Curtis, according to photos and multiple credible reports this summer. The Friends alum, who famously tied the knot with Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux before parting ways, was first spotted alongside Curtis over the Fourth of July weekend while vacationing in Spain with friend Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka, as documented by Daily Mail on July 7. In the snapshots published that day, Aniston and Curtis slipped into a sprinter van and later mingled at a yacht party off the coast, marking what appears to be her first new public romance since her 2018 split from Theroux.
E! News reached out to both camps for confirmation, but representatives have remained tight-lipped, leaving fans to draw conclusions from Aniston’s own hints. Back in April, she confided in Travel + Leisure about using hypnotherapy to conquer a long-held fear of flying. “I have an extreme fear of flying,” she admitted, describing a quirky superstition in which she tapped the plane with her right hand before stepping on board. “But I have been doing some hypnosis lately, and one of the requirements is to remove all of those superstitions. I have not been doing the right hand, right foot—and now it is shockingly good.”
Aniston’s newfound affinity for mindfulness aligns seamlessly with Curtis’s expertise. According to his professional profile, Jim is a certified hypnotherapist, Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner and Chopra meditation teacher devoted to helping clients break free from old patterns and manifest new realities. The Murder Mystery star even gave a nod to Curtis’s work in a May 25 Instagram post when she shared a “Sunday Funday” photo dump featuring a stack of books on her coffee table, among them Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide, which Curtis co-wrote with Sara Hadir. That same carousel of candid snapshots included close pals Amanda, Courteney Cox and Selena Gomez, indicating a circle of friends who support her holistic approach to well-being.
This chapter in Aniston’s personal life follows marriages that ended in 2005 and 2018, yet she has publicly maintained that she carries no bitterness toward past partners. In a 2014 Harper’s Bazaar interview she stressed her philosophy of forgiveness: “I think it is extremely important to forgive. Otherwise it just builds up like toxic waste.” More than two decades after her breakout role, the Emmy winner appears focused on living in the present and hoping for what lies ahead.
To add context, Jennifer was born on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, Calif., to actors John Aniston and Nancy Dow. Diagnosed with dyslexia in her early 20s, she overcame academic struggles she discussed with The Hollywood Reporter in 2015. She also opened up about childhood bullying during a 2018 InStyle profile and once shared with Parade in 2009 that she earned her allowance cleaning toilets as a kid. Her path from those humble beginnings to Hollywood royalty has been anything but dull, and now it includes late-night yacht cruises and guided meditation sessions by a man she seems to trust. Well, I hope that wasn’t too complicated.
