Jennifer Aniston’s summer romance is still going strong.
On September 5, the actress from “Friends” and her latest partner, Jim Curtis, were spotted having an enchanting evening together in New York City.
On a relaxed outing, Jennifer opted for a set of light blue denims, a simple white top, and a beige jacket, as depicted in pictures acquired by Page Six. To maintain a fresh look, she wore minimal makeup and styled her hair carefree with soft curls.
The actress from “The Morning Show” and the hypnotist have recently been seen together, following speculations of a romance that started in July. In fact, they were spotted vacationing with Jennifer’s long-term friend Jason Bateman and his spouse Amanda Anka over the Independence Day weekend, in Spain.
Since then, the 56-year-old appears to have introduced Jim to a number of her famous friends.
Earlier this month, they were spotted having dinner at the popular celebrity haunt, Nobu Malibu, accompanied by Courtney Cox and her long-term companion Johnny McDaid.
Jennifer and Jim’s blossoming relationship remains silent on the public front, yet it signifies a new romantic chapter for Jennifer, marking her first since parting ways with ex-spouse Justin Theroux in 2018, after three years of marriage.
Speaking of Jim, it’s worth noting that he identifies himself as an author, speaker, coach, and educator. Previously, he was married to Rachel Napolitano, and together they have a teenage son named Aidan, as reported by Page Six.
It’s worth mentioning that he had a past relationship with Bethenny Frankel, a former star on The Real Housewives of New York City.
As a matter of fact, I had a brief relationship with someone who was once dating Jennifer Aniston, and he turned out to be quite a decent individual. This little episode in my life occurred approximately ten years back, as I disclosed on the September 2nd edition of Bethenny Frankel’s Just B podcast.
Although the 54-year-old chose to keep the specifics of their short-lived romance private due to consideration for his own relationship with Jennifer, he did express his thoughts on the renowned actress moving on in a new romantic endeavor.
The Bravo alum commented that he finds her happy, mentioning she’s further along in her path but shares a grounded quality similar to Jennifer Aniston due to her journey and focus on wellness.
She expressed joy for Jennifer Aniston, stating that she sincerely believes she yearns for love. Furthermore, she mentioned that finding love has likely been challenging for her, as she empathizes with the situation, and noted that there’s a relaxed, peaceful side to her personality.
For a deeper dive into Jennifer’s life, keep reading…
Jennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, California, to actors John Aniston and Nancy Dow. Her godfather is the actor Telly Savalas, a close friend of her father’s. Originally, her family surname was Anastassakis, but it was changed after they moved from Greece to the United States.
In a 2015 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Aniston opened up about her challenges with dyslexia, a learning disorder that was identified in her twenties due to difficulties she faced in school. She shared, “I used to believe I wasn’t intelligent because I couldn’t remember things well.
3. In a heartfelt conversation with her friend Molly McNearney, Jennifer Aniston shared stories from when she was frequently bullied during her middle school years in 2018.
In an interview with InStyle, Aniston shared that she was often targeted by bullying during her elementary school years. Specifically, from the fifth to seventh grade, she was singled out and made fun of for being slightly overweight. This is why she was often referred to as the one who was bullied among her peers.
Before becoming a renowned actor in Hollywood, Aniston started her career with a more ordinary job as a kid, earning her allowance by cleaning toilets. In an interview with Parade in 2009, she admitted, “I’ve always been quite good at toilet cleaning.” Despite facing initial struggles, she was content with her life regardless of the amount of money she earned, and she enjoyed the work she did.
And before landing the role that would make her a household name, Aniston worked as a waitress.
In a conversation with Marie Claire, she admitted, “On more than one occasion, I accidentally dropped an Alpine burger onto customers, and nobody wants Swiss cheese and mushrooms in their trousers. I wasn’t the best waitress, but my colleagues told me that despite my mishaps, I was always pleasant and endearing, which made people warm up to me regardless.
As a devoted enthusiast, I’d say, “During my time at the legendary LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts (you know, the school that stole the spotlight in Fame), I was not just focused on acting. Oh no! I balanced my drama studies with a passion for volleyball and basketball.
7. As fellow students at an elite institution, I had the incredible fortune of befriending none other than Chaz Bono, son of the legendary Cher. Reminiscing back to those days in a 2011 conversation with Allure, I shared that it was our routine after school hours to gather together and head over to Chaz’s residence.
7. Despite being recognized for her casual Californian fashion sense, Aniston admitted to People that she had a goth phase in high school. She described those years as “not enlightened,” explaining that it was a time of experimentation. As the ’80s rolled around, she embraced a dark and rebellious style, aiming to be the least attractive rather than the most beautiful.
8. In her early acting career, Jennifer Aniston initially appeared as an unnamed dancer in McDonald’s in the 1988 film “Mac and Me.” Prior to her fame on “Friends,” she stepped into the shoes of Jennifer Grey as Ferris Bueller’s younger sister Jeanine in the brief TV adaptation of the classic movie. Furthermore, Aniston is well-known for her role in the horror comedy movie “Leprechaun” (1993).
Aniston has always been candid about the strained relationship she shared with her mother, Nancy Dow, starting from childhood, and has also spoken about witnessing the breakdown of her parents’ marriage, which occurred in 1980.
In 2015, Aniston shared with The Hollywood Reporter that she was often severely criticized by someone. This person, being a model known for her beauty, made comparisons that left Aniston feeling inadequate due to her perceived lack of similar physical attributes. Moreover, this individual was not quick to forgive, often holding grudges over what Aniston considered petty matters.
Through therapy, she confessed to the World Health Organization that it helped her comprehend and accept her mother’s actions. Essentially, she shared that while it requires extensive therapy, one can indeed move past such situations. Her statement implied that her mother’s behavior was a projection, with no connection to herself.
Prior to Dow’s passing in 2016, mother and daughter had been estranged for several years. During this time, Dow publicly criticized Aniston in a television interview and wrote a book titled “From Mother and Daughter to Friends“. Notably, Aniston did not extend an invitation to Dow to her wedding with Brad Pitt the following year.
In an interview with Elle magazine back in 2018, I shared my thoughts and insights about our relationship, shedding light on my mother’s actions from a personal viewpoint.
She overlooked what truly mattered,” she asserted. “I believe she was merely hanging on and giving her best, grappling with financial troubles and coping with a husband who was absent. Being a single mother during the ’80s was undoubtedly tough, I’m sure.
10. Who were the other actresses competing with Jennifer Aniston for the role of Rachel Green on “Friends,” which aired on NBC from 1994-2004 and became one of the most successful TV shows ever? This includes Jane Krakowski, known for her role in “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, Tea Leoni, Tiffani Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkeley, and Courtney Cox. Indeed, Courtney Cox was initially considered for Monica, but ended up playing Rachel instead!
Previously, the show’s co-creator Marta Kauffman disclosed that our initial choice for the character Rachel was Courteney Cox. However, she expressed her preference for playing Monica instead of Rachel.
11. Without a doubt, Cox later portrayed Monica’s best friend on the show, eventually forming a close bond with Aniston off-screen as well. In fact, Aniston serves as the godmother to Cox’s daughter, Coco. For a decade straight, they shared lunch breaks with Lisa Kudrow on set, as per Cox during a 2016 NBC special, “We had the same meal every day: a Jennifer salad.” In an interview from 2010, he explained that this “Jennifer salad” was actually a modified Cobb salad, seasoned with turkey bacon, garbanzo beans, and additional ingredients.
12. Jennifer Aniston’s journey to landing her iconic role in “Friends” involved turning down other opportunities, such as joining “Saturday Night Live.” In a late-2019 interview on “The Howard Stern Show,” Aniston shared that she doubted the atmosphere would suit her and felt she was more of a dramatic actress rather than a comedian. Nevertheless, fans of “Saturday Night Live” eventually got to enjoy Aniston’s presence when she hosted the show in 1999 and 2004 and made a guest appearance in 2016.
13. “The Rachel” haircut, which caused a nationwide buzz and inspired countless women to replicate it, was actually considered awkward by its namesake, Jennifer Aniston, who called it the ugliest haircut she’s ever seen in an interview with Glamour magazine. Interestingly enough, her long-time hairstylist and close friend Chris McMillan confessed that he was under the influence when he first styled the iconic cut on Aniston.
14. Despite earning $1 million per episode for seasons 9 and 10, making them the highest-paid TV stars ever, Aniston contemplated not rejoining Friends for its final season. In a 2004 interview, she admitted to having reservations about returning. (Of course, we all know she ultimately did return, and Rachel didn’t board the plane!) Aniston, who received an Emmy and a Golden Globe during the show’s run, explained her reasons: “I had some concerns that I was dealing with at the time,” she said. “I wanted us to end while we were still popular and on a high. Plus, I was wondering how much more of Rachel I had left in me.” Fortunately, she had just enough for us to enjoy the series’ conclusion.
In the final taping of the series, it was Aniston’s then-spouse and occasional co-star, Brad Pitt, who was absent. He informed producers that he wished to watch the episode when it aired, so he could experience it as a surprise. One of the three wrap parties for the show took place at their home, where the occasion was a formal dinner complete with aged bottles of Haut-Brion wine. Producer Kevin S. Bright had purchased these bottles during season one.
16′. Halfway through the run of Friends, Aniston got cast in the popular comedy Office Space. The studio felt a well-known actor would add value to the film. Her part expanded due to the famous “flair” storyline. In an interview with EW, she confessed to having two crushes (one past, one present) during production. She had attended high school with producer David Herman, mentioning, “I was both smitten by him and anxious about him.
17. After their 2000 wedding, Aniston decided to adopt Pitt as her last name professionally. However, she legally changed her surname to Pitt only after the wedding. Later, when she filed for divorce in 2005, she requested to have her original name restored. This high-profile divorce made headlines, largely due to the love triangle involving Aniston, Pitt, and Angelina Jolie – his co-star from Mr. & Mrs. Smith, who would later become his wife.
18. During the peak of the Jennifer-Brad-Angelina controversy in 2005, the well-known Los Angeles store Kitson offered “Team Aniston” and “Team Jolie” t-shirts for fans to express their loyalty/solidarity at a price of $30 each. According to Aniston’s widely discussed Vanity Fair profile dubbed “Unsinkable,” the sales of Aniston’s shirt were 25 times higher than those of Jolie’s.
19. On multiple occasions, Aniston has taken legal action against paparazzi for breaching her privacy. In 2000, she initiated a lawsuit against two magazines that published nude images of her, which were taken in her private backyard. Moreover, in 2006, she reached an agreement with a paparazzo following reports that he had disseminated nude photos of the actress to several celebrity magazine editors.
In her legal filings, Aniston asserted that she experienced feelings such as shame, mortification, hurt emotions, distress, anger, embarrassment, humiliation, violation, and invasion of privacy, as well as a disruption to her peace of mind, because the photographs were taken inside her private residence once more.
20. In 2010, when his relationship with Aniston ended, it seemed like famous Hollywood bachelor John Mayer found ‘the one who got away.’
He shared with Rolling Stone that he’s still struggling to move on from their breakup, calling it one of the hardest periods in his life. He regrets that their relationship ended and admitted feeling a lingering wish that things could have worked out differently between them.
21. For several decades, Aniston has frequently appeared in tabloids, often serving as a prominent figure due to her high-profile romantic relationships. She is regularly the focus of articles discussing heartbreaks, connections, the continuous love triangle with Pitt and Jolie, and speculations about pregnancies almost every week.
In 2016, Aniston reached her limit and wrote a compelling op-ed for The Huffington Post titled “Setting the Record Straight.” In this piece, she criticized the media’s tendency to objectify not just her, but women as a whole.
In my own words, I feel compelled to clarify: I’m not carrying a child. Rather, I am overwhelmed and tired of the relentless sports-like examination, body shaming, masquerading as ‘journalism’, that happens to me everyday, under the pretexts of the First Amendment and celebrity news.
As a devoted advocate for my personal story, I couldn’t help but address the relentless scrutiny of the paparazzi and the media’s tendency to portray my life as incomplete, marked by failure or sadness, simply due to my current childless state.
She expressed, “It’s not essential to be married or moms to feel whole. Each of us has the power to write our unique and personal ‘happily ever after.'” Indeed!
22. Although she’s traveled extensively worldwide, Aniston particularly cherishes Cabo San Lucas as her preferred getaway destination. Frequently, she invites notable friends such as Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Courteney Cox, Jason Bateman, and his wife Amanda Anka to join her there. If you’re looking for a lively, sun-soaked vacation reminiscent of Aniston’s style, the One & Only Palmilla is her preferred spot.
23. It’s great to hear that Mexican cuisine is beneficial for the body, as expressed by Aniston who frequently expresses her fondness for items such as chips, guacamole, and tacos. “I always appreciate a delightful Mexican meal, like soft yet crisp tortilla chips with avocado dip,” she mentioned to Harper’s Bazaar. (Paraphrased)
Her go-to beverage, unsurprisingly, is a margarita, as she shared with Yahoo! Beauty that her ideal version consists simply of pure tequila, fresh lime juice, and a touch of Cointreau – it’s simply divine.
24. Indeed, exercise undeniably benefits the body, as Jennifer Aniston consistently upholds her commitment to working diligently to preserve her well-known physique truthfully.
Generally, I enjoy a workout routine that involves running for 15 minutes, followed by 15 minutes on the bike and then another 15 minutes of running. On the elliptical, I alternate between 90 seconds of sprints, 30 seconds of jogging, and maintaining intervals for the remaining time. I also incorporate yoga into my routine occasionally. Lately, due to an injury, I’ve had to stick with Barre method workouts, which I forgot how challenging they can be – they really put your body through its paces!
Boxing serves as both a workout and a therapy session for Aniston. As she explained to InStyle, boxing helps her release pent-up aggression, giving her a mental escape from the stresses of daily life. In her mind, she can even envision whom she is punching. Luckily, she’s not really hurting anyone, though there may be one person in particular she fantasizes about hitting. But ultimately, it’s all just a healthy way to manage stress.
26: Due to her unique blend of achievable yet inspiring lifestyle, Aniston has served as the spokesperson for brands such as Aveeno, Smartwater, and Eyelove. To highlight a few examples, and Forbes estimates she earns over $10 million annually from her endorsements.
27: Regarding Smartwater, Aniston’s suggestion for attaining her radiant appearance is straightforward: “I can’t emphasize enough to my friends that they should follow my lead…drink plenty of water, ensure adequate rest, engage in regular exercise, and consume a balanced, wholesome diet when feasible,” she shared with The Cut.
Jennifer Aniston openly confessed to People magazine in 2015 that she has a strong interest in the Kardashian-Jenner phenomenon, admitting it as one of her hidden indulgences.
39. One more indulgent pastime? For many, the The Bachelor series, and in 2016, Aniston shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live her favorite contestants from Nick Viall’s season, including future Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay. (Evidently, she has a knack for picking great ones.)
In an interview with Access Hollywood, the actress admitted her genuine affection for the show, likening it to delicious yet unhealthy junk food. She described it as a fascinating train wreck, adding that despite its self-inflicted chaos, one can’t help but be entertained by it.
30. Despite swearing off social media forever, Aniston briefly made her entrance onto Instagram in the year 2019, causing a temporary stir.
Before setting up her personal social media account, she confessed that she occasionally searches for someone’s Instagram profile, and openly admitted to maintaining an empty inbox. “You won’t find 2,895,000 emails in my inbox,” Aniston said during the episode. “Every morning when I clear out the box, I respond to all my emails and provide everyone with the necessary answers, and that’s it.
32. During a chat about her initial encounter with Dolly Parton, whom she collaborated with on the Netflix film ‘Dumplin’, Aniston shared that she was quite star-struck when they met eight years ago, having been a huge fan of hers at the time.
She shared with Jimmy Kimmel that on that particular evening, she went to see her because she had been in love with her since childhood – just like belting out Dolly Parton songs into a hairbrush as a kid. And guess what? She admitted that she even named her pet dog after the famous singer!
Besides Dolly (her white shepherd named after Parton), Aniston also cherished another dear pet dog named Norman. Regrettably, Norman passed away in 2011 at the age of 15, and in tribute to him, Aniston got her first tattoo – his name inscribed on her right foot.
34. In an interview with James Lipton on ‘Inside the Actors Studio’, she expressed that “Norman” was her most cherished term (which almost brought tears to our eyes!).
35. After that, Aniston, together with her former spouse, Justin Theroux, have taken in two pets: a pitbull called Sophie and a terrier named Clyde.
36. Even though Aniston didn’t star in a show during 2018, she was still included in Variety’s list of highest-earning TV stars for that year. It was said that Aniston and Reese Witherspoon were expected to earn $1.1 million per episode for The Morning Show, which debuted on Apple TV+ in 2019. Both actresses are also executive producers for the series, which is a high-quality drama.
37. It’s a well-known question that celebrities often get asked: Who is their favorite celebrity? Interestingly, it appears that Jennifer Aniston is the answer for many men in the Hollywood industry. Recently, the leads of Riverdale, KJ Apa and Cole Sprouse, admitted to having crushes on her.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Apa confessed that he has a crush on Aniston, despite never watching an episode of Friends. On the other hand, Sprouse shared memories of working alongside her in the sitcom, since they and his twin brother Dylan portrayed Ross’ son, Ben.
He confessed to The New York Post that working alongside Jennifer was incredibly challenging due to his intense feelings for her. He was smitten, left speechless, and even forgot his lines at times, making it a real struggle.
Instead, those up-and-coming heartthrobs should take a step back, since several well-known men expressed their affection for Aniston before they did.
As a die-hard admirer, let me confess: Jake Gyllenhaal, the charismatic actor who shared the screen with Aniston in “The Good Girl”, found it challenging to discuss his longstanding affection for her. In an interview with People, he admitted, “I’ve harbored a crush on her for years, and working alongside her wasn’t a breeze, you understand.” He continued, “She was…I was…let’s just say it was intense. It was, well, it was a delightful experience. You know, it wasn’t difficult at all.
Ashton Kutcher confessed that during his high school days, he had made a wager – at the age of 17 and with Ashton’s screen saver being his crush – that he would take her out on a date. Remarkably, this turned into reality, even though she was still married to Brad Pitt at the time.
Five years after our initial encounter, I eventually had the chance to meet her again. Seeking Brad Pitt’s approval, I asked if I could ask his wife out on a date. To my surprise, he was very supportive and replied, “You should give it a try.” With his encouragement, I made the move, but unfortunately, she declined my invitation. Kutcher shared this story on The Graham Norton Show.
Following the departure from Plan B, the production company she co-founded with Pitt in 2006, Aniston teamed up with her best friend Kristin Hahn to establish Echo Films in 2008. This company, which has a partnership with Universal Pictures, has been instrumental in producing several of Aniston’s films, such as “The Switch,” “Cake,” and “Dumplin’.
Jennifer Aniston often works with Adam Sandler as they are close friends. Most recently, they teamed up for the 2023 release of “Murder Mystery 2.”
42. After their encounter during the NBC special crossover of ‘Friends’ and ‘E.R.’, Jennifer Aniston has maintained a longstanding friendship with George Clooney. This bond persisted even after her separation from Brad Pitt, who is also a close friend and frequent collaborator of Clooney. In fact, she paid a visit to Clooney, his wife Amal Clooney, and their twins in Italy during the summer of 2018. When interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres in December 2018, Aniston expressed how remarkable it was to see him as a father. They discussed the unexpectedness of life’s events, with Aniston saying “anything can happen.”
43. Aniston famously recounted the incident where she was advised by her agents to shed 30 pounds prior to auditioning for Friends. As she shared in a 1996 cover story for Rolling Stone, her agent said, “I’ve actually been wanting to discuss this with you.” Essentially, he was honest with me. The kindest action he ever took…the distasteful practice of Hollywood – I wasn’t getting many acting opportunities because I was overweight.
She lost weight using Nutri/System and even appeared on The Howard Stern Show to give a testimonial about her experience. In her own words, she found it incredible to discover the shape her body could take. She never realized she had such a physique within herself.
Stepping forward through more than two decades, I find myself reflecting on a time when I, like Jennifer Aniston, have also encountered the relentless, unattainable standards that Hollywood imposes upon women. She’s been open about this issue, and I too can attest to its reality.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to emphasize that it’s high time we break free from the stereotype that beauty is exclusively tied to a size 4 or specific body measurements such as waist and butt sizes. It’s a relic of the past, something we’ve already explored and grown beyond. Let’s transition towards a more enlightened perspective on beauty, leaving behind such limiting definitions.
Jennifer Aniston has shared her encounters with workplace harassment, particularly after the #MeToo movement. In an interview with InStyle, she stated that she has experienced inappropriate advances from fellow actors, which she handled by walking away. Unlike some men in power, she has not felt uncomfortable or taken advantage of in such a way. However, she has experienced harsher verbal and energetic treatment from certain women in the industry.
As a devoted admirer, I’ve found myself grappling with a common apprehension that perhaps Ms. Aniston may also relate to given her extensive work-related travels and well-deserved vacations – a fear of flying.
In her twenties, she experienced a peculiar and terrifying flight that left a lasting impact. Afterwards, she found herself increasingly anxious about airplane incidents as they were frequently reported in the news. This obsession with potentially dying in an airplane took over her thoughts to an unmanageable degree. To put it simply, she wants to overcome this illogical fear.
47. According to close friend Kristin Hahn, when it comes to their real-life social circle, Aniston takes on the role of the organizer. In an interview with Elle, Hahn described Aniston as the “social bond” and confessed, “When she’s away, we’re almost at a loss about how to entertain ourselves.
48. Despite being divorced twice, Aniston doesn’t consider her marriages as failures, as she told Elle. She views them as highly successful in her own opinion. And when they ended, it was a choice made to pursue happiness, and at times, happiness wasn’t present within that union anymore.
49. In an interview with Elle, Jennifer Aniston openly shared her apprehension about motherhood, confessing it seems “quite honestly, a bit terrifying” for her. She elaborated, “Some individuals seem destined to be wives and mothers. I’m not sure if that’s a natural fit for me. The future is uncertain regarding children and relationships – whether they arrive naturally, or not, and when – given the advancements in science and miracles.
2023-10-28 found me, just like the rest of my cherished Friends family, shattered by the tragic news about Matthew Perry. Later on, I shared with Variety that our text exchange from that very morning still lingered in my heart, for he was his ever-witty “Funny Matty” right up until our last conversation.
“He was not in pain,” she recalled. “He wasn’t struggling.”
Additionally, she shared a snapshot of their text conversation, where Perry expressed to his ’90s sweetheart, “Your laughter truly brightened up my day. It genuinely did.
