Jennifer Aniston has made her relationship with boyfriend Jim Curtis Instagram official — again — as she celebrated his birthday with a heartfelt post.
On Sunday, November 2, the Friends star, 56, shared a black-and-white photo of herself embracing Curtis from behind. Smiling warmly, the pair looked relaxed and happy together. “Happy birthday my love,” Aniston wrote in the caption, adding the word “Cherished ❤️.”
Aniston and Curtis, an author and hypnotherapist, were first linked in July after being photographed together on a yacht. Since then, the couple has made a few low-key public appearances, including attending The Morning Show season 4 premiere in September and dining out with Aniston’s longtime friends Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka in August.
A source previously told People that the two were “casually dating and having fun,” noting that they were introduced by a mutual friend. “Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work,” the source said. “He’s very different from anyone she’s dated before.”
Curtis has spent over 20 years working in the health and wellness field, focusing on helping clients “step into the fullest version of themselves,” according to his website. Insiders say his grounded approach has had a calming influence on Aniston.
“He’s helped her slow down,” a source said in August. “She’s so used to going 100 miles an hour while balancing projects. He supports her in a way that feels new.”
Aniston first hinted at the relationship in September, including Curtis in a photo carousel captioned “Thank you summer.” Since then, the actress has continued to keep her personal life largely private but hasn’t shied away from sharing glimpses of her happiness.
