by

The one where Jennifer Aniston dates a hypnotist.

It has been reported by several sources that the actress from The Morning Show is currently dating Jim Curtis. Recently, they all took a vacation together in Spain, which included Jennifer’s long-time friend Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka as well.

Despite maintaining privacy about her personal life since her split with Justin Theroux in 2018, Courtney Cox didn’t conceal her affection for Jim in photos published by TMZ on July 12, where they can be seen showing public displays of affection and Jim giving her a shoulder massage.

After parting ways with Justin, Jennifer, who was married to Brad Pitt from 1998 until 2005 and subsequently dated both Vince Vaughn and John Mayer, shared some thoughts on embracing singleness once more.

She shared with Elle magazine that, in her view, her marriages were highly successful. However, when they ended, it was a decision made mutually for the sake of finding happiness, as at times, happiness may no longer reside within that particular relationship structure.

Given that the 56-year-old appears content in her new romance with Jim, let’s delve into some facts about this mysterious figure.

His primary aim is to assist individuals in overcoming their past and repetitive behaviors, enabling them to construct a completely fresh reality that fosters connections, community, and love.

Notably, Jennifer has been liking videos on Jim’s professional account since at least August 2024.

Has Jim Curtis been married before?

Indeed, it’s true that Jim was wedded to Rachel Napolitano. They first crossed paths when she served as a waitress at a bar in Manhattan’s West Village, New York City, as reported in an engagement announcement from 2002 in the publication known as The Observer.

“I thought she was really smart,” Jim said at the time. “We talked about spirituality.”

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but express my sentiment. Four years on, and every time I see her stride past, it’s as if time stands still. She exudes an undeniable charm that leaves me spellbound, her beauty timeless.

He asked for Rachel’s hand in marriage at Cape Cod, presenting her with a diamond ring that was more than two carats. Afterward, they got married in the same location in the presence of approximately 200 attendees.

Yes, Jim and his ex-wife share a teenage son named Aidan, according to Page Six.

Jennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, California. She was born to actors John Aniston and Nancy Dow, and her godfather is the actor Telly Savalas, a close friend of her father’s. The original surname of her family was Anastassakis, but it was changed after they moved to the United States from Greece.

2. In a 2015 conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Aniston shared her battles with dyslexia, a condition she was identified with in her twenties following academic difficulties. She expressed, “I believed I wasn’t intelligent. I just couldn’t seem to remember anything.”

3. In a heart-to-heart conversation with close friend Molly McNearney, Jennifer Aniston shared stories from when she was frequently bullied during her middle school years, in the year 2018.

In her interview with InStyle, Aniston shared that she was often picked on by peers during her elementary school years. She recalled being singled out for amusement and explained that this occurred in fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. Since she had a bit more weight compared to others at the time, she became the target of their jokes.

4. Before she became a highly successful actress in Hollywood, Aniston spent her childhood years doing a less glamorous job. In an interview with Parade in 2009, she shared, “As a kid, I earned my allowance by cleaning toilets. I’m quite skilled at it.” Despite facing some hardships initially, Aniston was content with her life, whether she was earning a large or small income. She always found joy in the work she was doing.

And before landing the role that would make her a household name, Aniston worked as a waitress.

In an interview with Marie Claire, she admitted, “I accidentally spilled multiple Alpine burgers onto customers, and trust me, the combination of Swiss cheese and mushrooms isn’t something you want seeping into your trousers. I may not have been a great waitress, but people found me pleasant and charming, so they continued to like me despite my mishaps.

6. As a student at the renowned LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, similar to the famed institution depicted in “Fame,” I immersed myself in both athletics and academics. In particular, I honed my skills in volleyball and basketball while delving deep into the drama department’s curriculum.

6. She was friends with Chaz Bono, who is Cher’s son, because they attended the same prestigious school together. As she shared in a 2011 interview with Allure, every day a group of us would visit Chaz’s house after classes had ended.

In contrast to her popular laidback California image, Aniston admitted that she had a goth phase during her high school years. As she shared with People magazine, she described those times as “not well-informed,” explaining that it was a period of experimentation. Since it was the ’80s, she dressed in a way that made her look like a gothic nightmare rather than striving to be beautiful. Instead, her goal was to be as rebelliously unattractive as possible.

8. Jennifer Aniston’s debut acting performance was an unrecognized role as a dancer at McDonald’s in the 1988 film “Mac and Me.” Prior to her stint on “Friends,” Aniston replaced Jennifer Grey in the brief television series adaptation of the classic movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” for the character of Jeanine, Ferris’ little sister. Notably, she also played a significant role in the horror film “Leprechaun,” which was released in 1993.

From childhood onwards, Jennifer Aniston has always been candid about the strained bond she shared with her mother, Nancy Dow, and the impact of her parents’ divorce, which occurred in 1980.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter back in 2015, Aniston stated, “She was highly critical. She had strong criticisms towards me. Given her modeling background and her beauty, she was breathtakingly attractive. I never was and still am not. Honestly, I don’t see myself that way, which is okay. Additionally, she was incredibly unforgiving. She would hold onto grudges over trivial matters that I found immature.

In an admission to WHO, she confessed that therapy allowed her to comprehend and reconcile with her mother’s actions, saying, “With much therapy, one can indeed move past it. Her behavior wasn’t about me; it was just her projection.

Prior to Dow’s passing in 2016, the mother-daughter relationship had been strained for numerous years. During this time, Dow publicly criticized Aniston in a televised interview and wrote a book titled “From Mother and Daughter to Friends“, published in 1999. Notably, Aniston did not extend an invitation to her wedding with Brad Pitt the year after the book’s release.

During an interview with Elle magazine in 2018, Aniston shared insights about their relationship, providing a glimpse into her mother’s actions.

She acknowledged that she wasn’t focusing on what truly mattered, she explained. Given her circumstances – strained financially and without her husband around – it’s understandable that she was merely surviving and making do the best she could. Being a single mother in the ’80s must have been quite challenging indeed.

The actresses who competed with Jennifer Aniston for the role of Rachel Green on “Friends,” which aired on NBC from 1994-2004 and went on to become one of the most successful TV shows ever made, included “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” star Jane Krakowski, Tea Leoni, Tiffani Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkeley, and Courtney Cox. Interestingly enough, Courtney Cox was originally cast as Monica but ended up playing Rachel instead!

Marta Kauffman, one of the show’s creators, previously disclosed that we initially proposed Rachel to Courteney Cox. However, she opted for playing Monica instead of Rachel.

We always ate the same meal, a ‘Jennifer salad.'” In an interview from 2010, Cox revealed more about this salad, stating that it was not a traditional Cobb salad but rather one that Aniston modified with turkey bacon and garbanzo beans, among other ingredients.

As a lifestyle expert looking back, I can’t help but marvel at Jennifer Aniston’s journey towards finding her perfect role, which undeniably became “Rachel” on Friends. Along the way, she declined various opportunities, among them a position on Saturday Night Live. In a 2019 interview with Howard Stern, Aniston confessed that she felt the atmosphere there wouldn’t suit her, and she considered herself more of a serious actress than a comedian. However, fans of Saturday Night Live did eventually get to enjoy Aniston on their screens when she served as host in 1999 and 2004, and even made a special appearance in 2016.

13. Ah, “The Rachel,” a haircut that caused quite a stir across the nation, as women flocked to their salons, showing pictures of Aniston and asking for the layered look. However, it seems the style icon herself found it rather awkward and even declared it as the “ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen” in an interview with Glamour. Interestingly enough, her longtime hairstylist and close friend Chris McMillan confessed he was under the influence when he first gave Aniston that iconic cut.

14. Despite earning a record-breaking $1 million per episode for seasons 9 and 10, making her and her co-stars the highest paid TV stars in history, Aniston contemplated not rejoining Friends for its final season. In a 2004 interview, she admitted that she had reservations. (We all know she eventually returned, and Rachel didn’t board the plane!) Aniston, who received both an Emmy and a Golden Globe during the show’s run, shared her reasons: “I was grappling with a few concerns,” she said. “I wanted it to end while we were still popular and riding high. I also wondered, ‘How many more Rachel stories can I tell?'” Fortunately, she had just enough left in her for us fans!

In the final taping of MIA, it was Aniston’s then-spouse, and occasional co-star, Brad Pitt who attended. He requested to watch the episode when it aired so he could experience it as a viewer. One of the series’ wrap parties took place at their residence, transforming it into a formal dinner event. This special occasion showcased vintage bottles of Haut-Brion wine that producer Kevin S. Bright had saved from season one.

16. During the prime of “Friends,” I found myself cast in the iconic comedy “Office Space.” The studio saw potential in my popularity for the film, and as fate would have it, the addition of the beloved “flair” storyline significantly expanded my role. Reflecting on this time, I confessed to Entertainment Weekly that I harbored not one but two crushes while filming – one from the past, one from the present. You see, I had attended high school with producer David Herman, and he held a special place in my heart – a mix of infatuation and fear.

17′. In 2000, I tied the knot with Pitt, and in a heartfelt gesture, I opted to take his surname legally. However, after our divorce in 2005 – a split that sent shockwaves through the celebrity world due to the love triangle involving me, Pitt, and Angelina Jolie, his co-star from “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” who eventually became his wife – I requested that my original name be reinstated.

18. During the peak of the Jennifer-Brad-Angelina controversy in 2005, the well-known LA boutique Kitson started selling “Team Aniston” and “Team Jolie” t-shirts for fans to express their loyalty/solidarity towards either actress. According to an influential article titled “Unsinkable” in Vanity Fair magazine, the sales of Aniston’s shirt were 25 times greater than those of Jolie’s.

Jennifer Aniston has filed lawsuits against the paparazzi on multiple occasions due to privacy violations. In the year 2000, she took legal action against two magazines for distributing topless images of her that were taken in her private backyard. Additionally, in 2006, she resolved a lawsuit with a paparazzo after it was discovered that he had sent nude photos of the actress to various celebrity magazine editors.

As an ardent admirer, I’d rephrase it like this: In her court filings, Aniston stated that she endured feelings of deep embarrassment, intense humiliation, emotional turmoil, fury, and distress when private photos of hers were snapped yet again within the sanctity of her own home. These intrusions left me feeling violated, and they significantly impacted my tranquility and mental well-being.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must confess that for the renowned charmer John Mayer, Jennifer Aniston remained the elusive love that slipped through his fingers. This was evident in his sentiments expressed in 2010, following the conclusion of their romantic chapter.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, he admitted that he never truly moved on from their separation. He described those days as among the hardest in his life. Despite the passage of time, he regrets that their relationship did not continue. In certain aspects, he wishes he could still be with her.

21. For numerous decades, Aniston has been a frequent and prominent figure in tabloids, often serving as the main topic of headlines that focus on her romantic ups and downs, including frequent discussions about heartbreaks, relationships, the ongoing love triangle with Pitt and Jolie, and persistent speculations about pregnancies.

In 2016, Aniston reached her limit, writing a compelling op-ed for The Huffington Post titled “Setting the Record Straight,” where she criticized the media’s objectification of herself and women as a whole.

She clarified, “For the record, I am not carrying a child. Instead, I find myself exhausted by the constant sports-like commentary and body shaming disguised as journalism, the First Amendment, and celebrity gossip.

Additionally, she criticized the persistent (and at times, risky) intrusion of paparazzi and the media’s tendency to portray her story as inadequate, unfulfilled, or unsatisfied due to her lack of children.

It’s not necessary to get married or become mothers in order to feel whole. Each of us has the power to define our own version of ‘happily ever after’ for ourselves.” Amen!

Jennifer Aniston has traveled extensively across the globe, yet her preferred holiday destination remains Cabo San Lucas. She frequently invites her well-known companions such as Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, Courteney Cox, Jason Bateman, and his wife Amanda Anka to join her there. If you’re seeking a sun-filled good time reminiscent of Jennifer Aniston, the One & Only Palmilla is her preferred choice.

23. Excellent news: Mexican cuisine is beneficial for your health…or so it seems based on Aniston, who has openly expressed her fondness for nachos, avocado dip, and tacos. “I can never resist a delicious Mexican meal, such as crunchy, airy tortilla chips with creamy guacamole,” she shared with Harper’s Bazaar.

Her preferred beverage, unsurprisingly, is a margarita. She describes her ideal one as “straight tequila, fresh lime juice, a hint of Cointreau. It’s simply delightful.

24. Absolutely, exercise plays a significant role in keeping the body fit, as Jennifer Aniston is always truthful about the effort she puts into preserving her well-known physique.

Every day, I follow a rigorous fitness routine that I like to call my ‘trifecta.’ This involves pedaling on the bike for 15 minutes, hopping onto the elliptical for another 15, and then hitting the treadmill for yet another 15. On the elliptical, I alternate between high-intensity sprints for 90 seconds, followed by a 30-second jog, and ending with quick interval sessions. To round it off, I incorporate yoga into my routine on some days.”

Recently, due to an injury, I’ve been limited to only the Barre method. Let me tell you, I had almost forgotten how challenging and invigorating that workout can be for both mind and body!

25. Apart from her acting career, Aniston also enjoys boxing and finds it serves a dual purpose as a therapeutic outlet. In an interview with InStyle, she expressed that “boxing offers an excellent means to vent frustration. It allows you to mentally expel the stress accumulated daily through your ears and eyes, while allowing brief escapist fantasies of who you’re really attacking.” She went on to say, “I’m thankful it’s not a real person, even though there’s one in particular. You understand what I mean. It’s all fine.

26: Due to her unique blend of achievable yet inspiring lifestyle, Aniston serves as an endorser for brands like Aveeno, Smartwater, and Eyelove, among others. According to Forbes, she earns more than $10 million annually from such endorsements.

Regarding Smartwater, Aniston’s secret to her radiant appearance is straightforward: “I can’t stress enough to my friends what I do myself…drink plenty of water, rest well, exercise, and consume a clean, balanced diet whenever you can,” she shared with The Cut.

In 2015, Aniston openly confessed her fascination with the Kardashian-Jenner family’s reality TV show to People magazine, describing it as a hidden indulgence.

One more indulgent choice? The Bachelor franchise, where Aniston once appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2016 to unveil her top four selections for Nick Viall’s season. (Future Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay was among her favorites, demonstrating that she has keen senses.)

The actress admitted to Access Hollywood that she truly enjoys the series, stating, “It’s like irresistible comfort food. Delicious junk food. It’s a captivating disaster! Have you watched it? You can’t help but feel sympathy for them. They’ve willingly created this chaos just for our entertainment.

30. Despite swearing off social media entirely, Aniston momentarily disrupted Instagram when she signed up in the year 2019.

Before creating her own social media account, she openly confessed to occasionally searching someone’s Instagram, and expressed her satisfaction with maintaining an empty inbox at all times. “You won’t find 2,895,000 emails,” Aniston mentioned during the episode. “In the morning, when I clean out my inbox, I respond to my emails, providing everyone with the necessary answers, and that’s it.

During an interview, Aniston shared that she had been a huge admirer of Dolly Parton for eight years before they worked together on the Netflix film “Dumplin”. This was when they first met.

That evening, I ascended to meet her because I’ve adored her since childhood, as she shared with Jimmy Kimmel. Reminiscing, she added, “You know, I used to sing into a hairbrush belting out Dolly Parton tunes.” Furthermore, she mentioned, “I confessed that I had named my pet after her.

Besides Dolly, the white shepherd she calls Parton, Aniston also owned another cherished pet called Norman. Sadly, Norman passed away in 2011 at the age of 15. Moved by this loss, Aniston got a tattoo – her very first one – with Norman’s name on her right foot.

In a memorable conversation on Inside the Actor’s Studio, I shared that among all words, “Norman” holds a special place in my heart. (And yes, it did bring a few tears to my eyes!)

35. After that, Aniston, together with her former spouse Justin Theroux, welcomed two new family members: a pitbull called Sophie and a terrier named Clyde.

36. Surprisingly, Jennifer Aniston earned a spot among the highest-paid TV stars of 2018, even though she didn’t have a show airing that year. This is according to Variety. It was also reported that Aniston and Reese Witherspoon were expected to earn approximately $1.1 million per episode for their upcoming series, The Morning Show, which debuted on Apple TV+ in 2019. Besides starring in the show, they are both executive producers of this polished drama.

It’s no secret that celebrities often get asked the timeless question about their celebrity crush. Interestingly, Jennifer Aniston is a popular choice among many men in Hollywood, including the two male leads of Riverdale, KJ Apa and Cole Sprouse, who have both admitted to having crushes on her.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Apa openly confessed his affection for Aniston, despite never watching a single episode of Friends. On the other hand, Sprouse fondly recalled working alongside her on the sitcom, as he and his twin brother Dylan portrayed Ross’ son, Ben.

He shared with the New York Post that working with [Jennifer] was incredibly challenging for him due to his deep affection for her. He was smitten, left tongue-tied, and would become flustered, often forgetting his lines and losing focus. It was a struggle for him.

However, these young heartthrobs should take their turn, because other well-known gentlemen had expressed their affection for Aniston before them.

Jake Gyllenhaal, who acted alongside Aniston in “The Good Girl,” found himself a bit tongue-tied when discussing his longstanding crush on her. Speaking with People, he admitted, “For years I’ve had a crush on her, and working with her wasn’t easy. You know what I mean? She was…let me see, umm…yes, that’s about all I can say. It was, well, it was delightful. You know, it wasn’t difficult.

Additionally, Ashton Kutcher disclosed a past wager from his high school days, when he was 17 and an image of her served as his screen-saver. He later had the opportunity to take her out on a date, which coincided with her marriage to Pitt in the past.

Five years after our initial encounter, I finally had the chance to meet her. Seeking Brad Pitt’s blessing, I asked if I could ask his wife out. He graciously gave his approval, and although I made my move, she politely declined,” Kutcher shared on The Graham Norton Show.

Following her departure from the production company she co-founded with Brad Pitt in 2006 (Plan B), Jennifer Aniston teamed up with her close friend Kristin Hahn to establish Echo Films in 2008. This company, which enjoys a partnership with Universal Pictures, has been instrumental in producing several of Aniston’s films, such as “The Switch”, “Cake”, and “Dumplin'”.

As a dedicated follower of their careers, I often notice that Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler frequently team up as co-stars. Most recently, they joined forces once again for the 2023 release of “Murder Mystery 2”. Their friendship clearly translates into convincing on-screen chemistry!

After crossing paths during the joint NBC production of “Friends-E.R”, Jennifer Aniston has maintained a longstanding friendship with George Clooney. This bond persisted even following her separation from Pitt, who is also a close friend and frequent collaborator of Clooney. In fact, she paid a visit to Clooney, his spouse Amal Clooney, and their twin children in Italy during the summer of 2018. As Aniston shared with Ellen DeGeneres in December 2018, “It’s incredible to see him as a father.” The topic they discussed was how life can take unexpected turns.

43. In a 1996 interview with Rolling Stone, Aniston shared the tale that her agent had instructed her to shed around 30 pounds before auditioning for Friends. She recounted, “My agent said something along the lines of, ‘I’ve actually been meaning to discuss this with you.'” The kindest act he ever did, she noted, was delivering the message bluntly. Unfortunately, the harsh reality of Hollywood – I wasn’t getting many roles because I was too heavy.

She lost weight using Nutri/System and went as far as appearing on The Howard Stern Show to give her testimony. In her words, “It was incredible to witness the transformation,” referring to her physique back then. “I had no idea that such a body was within me.

44. Fast-forward over 20 years, and Aniston has openly discussed the unattainable standards that Hollywood imposes on females.

She expressed to InStyle in 2018 that it’s past time to abandon the notion that beauty is solely defined by a size 4, specific butt and waist sizes, or certain measurements. She considered this idea outdated, stating, “We’ve explored this path. We’ve experienced it. It’s time to progress.

Jennifer Aniston has also spoken out about workplace harassment, particularly following the #MeToo movement. She shared her story in an interview for InStyle, stating, “I have certainly encountered some inappropriate advances from other actors, and I dealt with it by simply walking away.” She added that she has never faced discomfort or misuse of power from anyone in a position of authority. However, she mentioned that she has experienced worse verbal and energetic mistreatment from certain women in the industry.

46. A fear of flying is something that Aniston often grapples with due to her frequent work travels and desire for leisure trips.

Alternatively,

46. Since Aniston has a busy travel schedule for work and enjoys occasional vacations, she struggles with a fear of flying.

In her twenties, she experienced a bizarre and terrifying flight. This incident sparked an intense fascination with news stories about plane crashes, leading her to become obsessed with the notion of meeting an untimely end on an airplane. She acknowledged this fixation as irrational and overwhelming for her mental state, expressing a desire to let it go.

47. In her real-life social circle, Aniston is known as the organizer, as stated by her close friend Kristin Hahn. Hahn referred to Aniston as the “social bond” and shared with Elle magazine, “When she’s away, we barely know how to carry on without her.

48. Despite having gone through two divorces, Aniston doesn’t consider them as failures, as she stated in an interview with Elle. In her own words, “My marriages have been highly successful, according to my personal viewpoint. And when they ended, it was a choice we made to prioritize our happiness, and at times, that happiness wasn’t sustainable within the relationship anymore.

49. In an interview with Elle, Aniston confessed that the thought of motherhood is somewhat terrifying to her. She elaborated, “Some individuals seem to be naturally suited for marriage and parenthood. I’m not sure if it comes as easily to me. The future may bring a child and a partnership, or it might not; we never know. And with today’s advancements in science and miracles, we can have children at times that were previously impossible.

Jennifer Aniston, alongside the rest of the Friends cast, was deeply saddened by Matthew Perry’s passing on October 28, 2023. In a conversation with Variety, she shared that they had exchanged texts earlier that day, as Perry was still his characteristic “humorous self,” referred to as “funny Matty.

“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 crush, “Your laughter brightened up my day. It truly did.
