Jennifer Aniston bid farewell to summer in style, sharing a sun-soaked collection of photos featuring her closest friends and loved ones.
Among the 18 images posted on social media, one stood out—a mysterious man seen only from behind.
The Daily Mail can now confirm that he is her boyfriend, Jim Curtis, 49, an author and life coach.
Dogs Bring the Couple Closer Together
Sources say that a shared love of dogs is central to Aniston and Curtis’s budding romance.
One of the photos captures their “blended” canine family: Aniston’s labrador Lord Chesterfield and schnauzer Clyde pose alongside Curtis’s rescue dog Odie, whom he affectionately calls “the world’s cutest dog.” Friends close to the couple say their pets have strengthened their bond.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Things are getting serious between the pair and they are enjoying each other’s company.
Their love of rescue dogs is something they’ve really bonded over, and it has really helped that they all get along.”
Friends, Fun, and a Subtle Social Media Nod
Aniston tagged her famous friends in the slideshow, including Adam Sandler, Jason Bateman, Courteney Cox, Sean Hayes, and longtime hairstylist Chris McMillan. Interestingly, Curtis remained untagged.
In the photo, he gazes at a sunset over the ocean, partially shaded, leaving an air of mystery about their relationship status.
Although Aniston has yet to confirm the romance publicly, she and Curtis have sparked dating rumors since July, when they were seen vacationing together on a yacht in Mallorca, Spain.
Daily Life and Shared Interests Keep the Spark Alive
Last Friday, the couple was spotted making a discreet entrance into a Manhattan restaurant, each getting into the same black SUV separately. Friends say they are inseparable.
“They do everything together, they are always together, and if they have to be away from each other, they are on the phone all the time.
They are so hot and heavy, it’s crazy,” a source said in August.
The pair reportedly connect over meditation, yoga, therapy, and of course, dogs, which adds to their compatibility.
Curtis was also seen supporting Aniston on August 20 during a promotional event for her haircare brand LolaVie, which recently celebrated its fourth anniversary.
Past Relationships and Life Experiences
Jim Curtis previously dated Bethenny Frankel from The Real Housewives of New York City and divorced his ex-wife Rachel Napolitano after the birth of their now-teenage son, Aidan.
In his 2017 book, The Stimulati Experience, he candidly reflected on challenges in his personal life, admitting, “I can’t keep a girlfriend because I get bored… I wish I had a better relationship with my son, but he lives with his mother most of the time, and he’s pissed at me.”
Aniston, 56, was previously married to Justin Theroux (2015–2017) and Brad Pitt (2000–2005), but seems to have found a new rhythm with Curtis.
Their shared interests and close-knit social life suggest that this relationship might be one of her most grounded yet.
