Jennifer Aniston‘s boyfriend, Jim Curtis, gave rare insight into their relationship during an appearance on the Today show.
“We were just introduced by friends. That’s it,” Curtis told host Craig Melvin on Monday, January 26, when asked to share the couple’s “origin story.”
Curtis continued, “We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat. And it took a long time. We chatted for a long time and we became close.”
Referring to Aniston’s iconic Friends role, Melvin, 46, asked whether Joey or Ross were responsible for making the introduction.
“I couldn’t resist,” Melvin quipped as Curtis laughed awkwardly.

Curtis added that he and Aniston, 56, have been together for “close to a year” before Melvin pivoted the conversation.
“You’re kinda blushing right now,” the broadcaster teased, with Curtis replying, “Yeah, I sure am.”
Curtis stopped by the morning show to promote his new project, The Book of Possibility, which includes tips and tools for manifesting goals.
The wellness coach also opened up about leaving Wall Street behind to pursue a passion for helping others. “I was struggling with a chronic illness … and I just knew that there was something more for me. Less stress, easier on my body,” he said on Monday, joking that he “wasn’t great” at his finance job anyway.
Us Weekly exclusively confirmed Aniston’s relationship with Curtis in July 2025.
“They are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together,” a source told Us at the time. “They are happy and really into each other.”
The low-key couple made their romance Instagram official that fall. Aniston later gushed over Curtis during an interview with Elle, calling him “quite extraordinary.”
“Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does,” she said in November 2025, adding that Curtis is “very special, very normal and very kind.”

As their relationship continues to heat up, a source told Us one month later that the actress “feels confident” in where she and Curtis are heading.
“They are solidly in the ‘this feels different’ zone. There are no games, and there’s no hiding,” a separate insider shared. “As time goes by, they uncover another layer about each other.”
While the pair have made few public appearances together, they haven’t shied away from sharing glimpses of their love story on social media. Heading into the new year, Curtis posted a slideshow of moments from 2025 that made him feel grateful.
“Some amazing things happened this year but it’s always the people who make it. Can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store… got a few surprises cooking,” he wrote in the caption.
One photo showed Curtis and Aniston smiling at each other while sitting in a car. In another pic, Aniston laughed in the background as Curtis’ friends formed a human pyramid.
According to a source, Aniston and Curtis “bonded” over their shared interest in wellness and their “weird sense of humor.”
“Friends say they finish each other’s sentences in a way that’s almost spooky because they are so connected,” the insider shared in December 2025. “A lot of her past relationships have had fireworks. This is quiet.”
Before finding love with Curtis, the Morning Show star was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018.
