Jim Curtis, Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend, finally spilled some tea on their relationship during a Today Show appearance. The hypnotherapist shared how they met and gushed about their connection. Meanwhile, details of his health journey that's shaped his career are resurfacing.
Oh honey, the spotlight's on Jim Curtis like never before, and he's handling it with a blush and a cane. On Monday, January 26, 2026, the wellness guru popped up on The Today Show to chat about his new book, The Book of Possibility, but host Craig Melvin couldn't resist pivoting to that A-list romance. 'We were just introduced by friends. That’s it. We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat,' Curtis said simply, keeping it low-key.
Turns out, it wasn't love at first sight—more like love after a marathon of messages. 'It took a long time, we chatted for a long time and we became close,' he explained. They've been together 'a long time, months now, almost close to a year,' which lines up with those steamy rumors igniting in July 2025 when they were spotted in Mallorca, Spain, rubbing elbows with Jason Bateman, Amanda Anka, and Amy Schumer. Public PDA? Not their vibe, but Jennifer did drop a sweet birthday shoutout in November: 'Happy birthday my love' alongside a black-and-white snap of her wrapping him up from behind, captioned 'Cherished ❤️.' Curtis? Grinning like he won the lottery.
Melvin clocked the blush and mercifully moved on, with Curtis admitting, 'Yeah I sure am.' A source close to Aniston told People Magazine back then, 'She had a great end to the year and feels really good about where things are with Jim. She’s excited about this new year and what’s ahead, especially with Jim by her side now. Jen’s always been fine on her own... but her relationship with Jim is just different. She’s very happy and comfortable. He’s just so sweet and supportive of her. He makes her everyday life better.' 💕
But Curtis isn't just Aniston's arm candy—he's a powerhouse in health and wellness, inspired by his own messy health saga. At 22, docs spotted lesions on his spinal cord, leading to muscle spasms, a limp, even temporary paralysis. 'It was unknown how they started, but I very rapidly became ill and soon had trouble walking,' he shared in a 2018 Fast Company interview. That Wall Street gig? Total disaster—high stress amped up fatigue, pain, and IBS. He powered through for two years, hiding it all (even fibbing about a fake motorcycle accident to dodge questions), but it left him depressed and 50 pounds overweight.
Fast forward: Curtis ditched finance for healing, becoming a hypnotherapist, coach, and author of books like Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide and The Stimulati Experience. His site spills, '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.' He's held roles at WebMD, Everyday Health, and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, coaching celebs and entrepreneurs. Now using a cane, he credits hypno-realization for turning his life around—and helping thousands more. 'My own illness and disability forced me to confront the limited beliefs... keeping me sad, sick, and alone.' Iconic pivot, right? So, is this power couple the real deal, or just Hollywood's latest feel-good chapter? 👀
