Who is Jim Curtis, the new boyfriend of Jennifer Aniston?

Jim Curtis is a wellness coach, hypnotherapist, and author who has built a career helping people transform their lives through mindset work, hypnotherapy, and self-improvement techniques.

"Jim Curtis is a transformational coach, author, and speaker who helps people break free from pain and step into the fullest version of themselves," his website reads. "He works at the powerful intersection of science and spirituality, known for his grounded, compassionate approach that meets you exactly where you are."

Curtis has previously worked with a range of clients, including successful entrepreneurs, celebrities, and other public figures seeking emotional guidance and personal development.

According to People website, Curtis provides a variety of services, including private coaching, interactive wellness courses, and community support groups. His work addresses topics such as anxiety and trauma, manifestation, low self-esteem, and relationship-related grief, among other personal development areas.

Curtis turned his attention to health and wellness following a diagnosis of spinal cord lesions at the age of 22, which led to muscle spasms, partial paralysis, a chronic limp, and frequent headaches.

"Jim’s own story fuels everything he does," his website's bio reads. "After years of living with a chronic, misdiagnosed illness and emotional trauma, he found a way to heal that honored both the body and the soul. His work is rooted in that experience, and in the belief that no matter how stuck or broken you may feel, transformation is always possible."

Since their first public outing, the author and hypnotherapist have been seen supporting Aniston at the Season 4 premiere of The Morning Show in September and joining her for a double-date dinner in August with friend Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka.

"They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends. Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work," a source said, according to the People website, referring to Curtis' career as an author and life coach. "He's very different from anyone she's dated before."

In August, a source told People that Curtis has helped Aniston “slow down,” noting that she is “so used to going 100 miles an hour while balancing projects.”

The source also noted that Curtis “truly appreciates and feels proud of everything she’s built.” They added, “She can be very hard on herself… and he supports her in a way that feels refreshingly new.”

In September, the couple was seen enjoying a casual dinner date in New York City. The previous month, they were photographed leaving Nobu in Malibu, California, alongside Courteney Cox and her longtime partner, Johnny McDaid.

Aniston has largely kept her relationship with Curtis out of the spotlight. In a September interview with Entertainment Tonight, she remained reserved when asked about her dating life, simply responding, “That’s very nice,” after a reporter remarked that Curtis appeared to be “a really special guy.”
