Jennifer Aniston Seemingly Soft Launches Romance With Jim Curtis

Jennifer Aniston reflected on a summer with her nearest and dearest — including, according to fans, boyfriend Jim Curtis.

In an Instagram carousel shared by Aniston, 56, on Sunday, September 7, the actress included a photo of the back of a mystery man enjoying a sunset on a beach. Seemingly capturing Curtis, 49, the photo attracted a string of comments.

“You think we wouldn’t notice photo number 17???” wrote one fan, while another commented, “Oh hello 17 pic ❤️❤️❤️.”

The photo was followed by a second sunset snap at what appeared to be the same location but without any people in the frame.

Aniston’s carousel also included happy moments of the actress hanging out on vacation and at dinners with famous friends including Adam Sandler, Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, Sandra Bullock and Courteney Cox, while celebrities who liked the post included Julia Roberts, Isla Fisher and Mindy Kaling.

Just one day prior to Aniston’s photo dump, she was photographed stepping out with Curtis, a wellness hypnotist, for dinner in New York City.

The photos, published by People on Saturday, September 6, showed the Friends alum in a white T-shirt and jeans paired with a tan blazer. Walking closely behind her was Curtis, who is also an author, before the pair walked down a street.

Us Weekly exclusively reported on July 10 that the pair, who were introduced by mutual friends, were former pals before their relationship turned romantic.

A source told Us at the time, “They are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together. They are happy and really into each other.”

Aniston’s Instagram carousel also came on the back of Bethenny Frankel’s claims that she once dated Curtis. On Tuesday, September 2, Frankel, 54, told listeners of her “Just B With Bethenny Frankel” podcast that she “dated Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend.”

The Real Housewives of New York City alum noted during the episode that she thought Curtis was a “nice guy” and her romance with him happened “maybe 10 years ago.” Frankel did not expand on the alleged relationship any further, but she did express her joy for Aniston.

“I do believe she wants to find love. I do believe it’s been difficult, as I understand as well as anybody can, and I do believe she’s sort of got that earthy, mellow side to her,” Frankel said on the podcast. “Just because she’s an actress and successful — I give her a lot of credit for doing red carpets all these years and doing the same simple hairstyle … It just reads very genuine. It just reads very natural, California girl.”
