Jim Curtis, a wellness coach and hypnotherapist linked romantically with actress Jennifer Aniston, discussed their relationship on the TODAY show on January 26, 2026. He also unveiled details about his forthcoming book.
In conversation with host Craig Melvin, Curtis, 50, shared that he was introduced to Aniston, 56, by mutual friends. “We found out that we had mutual friends, and we started to just chat,” Curtis explained.
Curtis underscored that their relationship evolved slowly and was not an immediate connection. He stated that their rapport developed over a significant period before they became close. He also disclosed that they have been in a relationship for nearly a year. Curtis has listed his New York apartment for sale, fueling speculation that he may be relocating to California to be closer to Aniston.
During the interview, Melvin noted that Curtis seemed to blush while discussing his relationship with Aniston. Curtis confirmed this, admitting he was blushing while speaking about Aniston.
Their relationship garnered public attention in July 2025 amid circulating rumors. Curtis was later seen at The Morning Show season 4 premiere, accompanying Aniston. The pair confirmed their relationship publicly on Instagram in November 2025 when Aniston shared a photograph with Curtis.
Aniston captioned the November photograph as “Happy birthday my love. Cherished,” which was her first public acknowledgment of their relationship. The couple had previously been spotted in Mallorca, Spain, with friends including Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka.
The couple made a formal public appearance together at the ELLE Women in Hollywood event on November 17, 2025. This appearance followed Aniston’s comments about Curtis in an interview with ELLE magazine published on November 12. In the interview, Aniston mentioned Curtis’s work as a hypnotherapist and referred to him as very special.
At the ELLE event, actor Adam Sandler, who has collaborated with Aniston on several films, expressed happiness for the couple in his speech. Following Aniston’s birthday post for Curtis, Reese Witherspoon, Aniston’s co-star on The Morning Show, commented on her love for their love story.
Curtis shared a photograph with Aniston on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2026, celebrating their relationship.
During his appearance on the TODAY show, Curtis also spoke about his professional life and announced his new book, The Book of Possibility. The book, releasing in September 2026, will provide readers with insights into his wellness practices and methods.
Before his career in health and wellness, Curtis worked on Wall Street in the 1990s. His career path changed drastically when he was diagnosed with spinal lesions at the age of 22, which led him to focus on wellness and healing.
For over two decades, Curtis has worked in the health and wellness sector, gaining expertise in hypnotherapy and transformational coaching. His methods aim to help people work through trauma, overcome mental barriers, and achieve clarity.
This relationship marks Aniston’s first public romantic involvement since her divorce from Justin Theroux in 2018. Before Theroux, Aniston was married to actor Brad Pitt. The public nature of her relationship with Curtis marks a departure from her usually private personal life approach.
Aniston, a star of The Morning Show, has maintained a successful career in Hollywood while managing the public’s keen interest in her personal life. Her openness about her relationship with Curtis on social media indicates a level of comfort with their relationship. Their bond seems to be founded on shared values related to wellness and personal growth.
Curtis’s approach aligns with the broader cultural trends emphasizing mental health, self-care, and holistic wellness. The growing mainstream acceptance of practices like hypnotherapy reflects evolving attitudes toward mental health treatment, with more individuals seeking alternatives or supplements to traditional therapy.
As Curtis gets ready for the release of The Book of Possibility in September, his relationship with Aniston continues to captivate public interest. His professional expertise in wellness, coupled with his relationship with one of Hollywood’s most prominent actresses, positions him uniquely at the crossroads of celebrity culture and the wellness industry.
