Date night! Jennifer Aniston stepped out with boyfriend Jim Curtis for a romantic dinner in New York City.
The former Friends star, 56, was dressed casually chic in a fitted tan blazer over a white T-Shirt and jeans in pictures published by People on Saturday, September 6. Wellness hypnotist and author Curtis, 49, followed closely behind Aniston as they strolled down the street in NYC.
The new couple have been regularly spotted on outings and dates since they were first linked while on vacation in Mallorca with Aniston’s friends, Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka, over the July 4 weekend.
Us Weekly exclusively reported on July 10 that Aniston and Curtis were officially dating, after initially starting off as friends. The couple were reportedly introduced through mutual friends and their connection eventually turned romantic.
“They are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together,” an insider told Us. “They are happy and really into each other.”
Curtis is the most notable person Aniston has dated since her split from Justin Theroux in 2017 after six years together. (The Morning Show actress was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005.)
Aniston’s latest relationship made headlines earlier this week when The Real Housewives of New York City alum Bethenny Frankel revealed that she previously dated Curtis.
“I dated Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend,” Frankel, 54, revealed to listeners on her “Just B With Bethenny Frankel” podcast on Tuesday, September 2.
Frankel remembered Curtis as a “nice guy” when they were together “maybe 10 years ago,” though she declined to reveal anything more about their relationship.
“I’m happy for Jennifer Aniston because 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 told listeners. “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.”
The former RHONY and The Big Shot With Bethenny star even said she was “betting on” on Aniston and Curtis’ romance going the distance.
“[She’s] at a similar age where you have different priorities and you want peace, you want balance, you want support, you want love, you want nice, you want simple, you want easy, but you want to be challenged,” Frankel pointed out.
While Aniston has yet to publicly address her relationship with Curtis, she did recently open up about the heartbreak she experienced while splitting from ex-husband Pitt. Speaking to Vanity Fair in a YouTube video posted on Monday, August 11, Aniston revealed how her starring role in 2006 rom-com The Break-Up helped her cope with the end of her marriage.
“[When making the movie], I might have just gone through a separation [that] I’m sure nobody remembers,” Aniston joked. “It was kind of cathartic to go right from that [into shooting].”
She went on, “When they came to me with the offer, they were a little nervous about making the offer ‘cause they thought, ‘Is it insensitive? Is it inappropriate?’ But, I actually thought [it] was a great opportunity. I knew it would actually benefit me emotionally just as a human being and also serve the script and the character pretty well.”
The Break-Up proved to be a landmark moment for Aniston’s career, as it made more than $200 million at the box office when it was released in June 2006.
