Jennifer Aniston‘s romance with Jim Curtis is already getting hot and heavy.
“It’s new, but things are moving pretty fast,” a close friend of the actress exclusively tells Us Weekly. “They just get along so well.”
It helps that Curtis, 49, is into health and fitness like Aniston, 56, who told Today.com in April that she is “the strongest” and “the most in shape” that she has “ever been” in her life.
“She thinks he is sexy and takes care of his body. That’s important to her,” the friend shares. “She works out daily and takes such good care of her body. It’s great he does too.”
After Aniston and Curtis were photographed together for the first time over the 4th of July weekend, Us broke the news that they are officially dating.
“Jen is so happy right now, and Jim is part of the reason,” the pal says. “He’s like a breath of fresh air, and all her close friends are 1,000 percent loving them together.”
While Curtis is not an A-list celebrity like Aniston’s exes, who include Brad Pitt, John Mayer and Justin Theroux, the hypnotist is no stranger to Hollywood, having worked with Chrissy Teigen, Miranda Kerr and Julianne Hough, among other stars, in the past.
“Jim is so cool, laid-back and smart and doesn’t try to compete with Jen in any way,” the friend tells Us. “He comes from his own world and is successful, so he fits in Jen’s world well.”
Jason Bateman, who has been close with Aniston for years and worked with her on films including 2010’s The Switch and 2011’s Horrible Bosses, is particularly fond of Curtis after joining the new couple on their PDA-filled holiday vacation to Mallorca, Spain.
“Jason Bateman and his wife [Amanda Anka] love him,” the pal reveals. “Jim and Jason are friends, and Jim thinks Jason is hilarious.”
Like Bateman, Aniston is “constantly making [Curtis] laugh,” according to the confidant, who says the Friends alum “can relax around Jim and be herself.”
“Jim is no drama and a grounded guy who has his life together. It is casual, but she really likes him and is very open to a serious thing,” the friend tells Us. “We think he may be the perfect guy for her. She deserves all the happiness and love from a good guy, and so far he is checking all the boxes.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Aniston’s rep, Bateman’s rep and Curtis for comment.
Multiple sources previously told Us that mutual friends introduced the Morning Show star and the life coach, who started out as friends themselves before their relationship turned romantic.
Curtis is the first person Aniston has publicly dated since her 2017 split from Theroux, 53, whom she married in 2015.
