Jennifer Aniston, 56, Defies Age in Elle and Gushes Over 'Extraordinary' New Love
Jennifer Aniston, 56, ageless in Elle, praises new boyfriend

Jennifer Aniston has once again captured the public's attention, this time by combining a stunning, age-defying photoshoot for Elle magazine with heartfelt revelations about her new romantic partner, Jim Curtis.

Stunning Visuals and a Glowing Tribute

The 56-year-old actress looks nothing short of incredible as the cover star for the publication, which has dubbed her 'The Archetype'. In a series of bold and stylish shots captured by photographer Zoey Grossman, Aniston showcases her famously toned physique.

She strikes a powerful pose wearing just a simple T-shirt and underwear, and later exudes glamour in a green lacy negligee and heels while perched on the edge of a marble bathtub. A third image sees her in a plunging black swimsuit that complements her tan, accessorised with sunglasses and a faux fur jacket.

Opening Up About Her 'Very Special' Man

Beyond the captivating visuals, the interview provided a deeper look into her personal life, specifically her relationship with 50-year-old hypnotist and transformational coach, Jim Curtis. This comes just a week after she hard-launched their romance on Instagram with a loving birthday tribute.

Aniston was effusive in her praise for Curtis, telling Elle, "Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does. He’s quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people." She went on to describe her new love as "very normal, and very kind", highlighting his dedication to helping people heal from trauma.

"It's a beautiful thing to commit your life to," she added, calling their connection "very special".

The Relationship Timeline

The couple's relationship has been developing over several months. They were first romantically linked in July 2025 after being photographed together on a yacht in Majorca.

However, eagle-eyed fans had spotted potential clues even earlier. In the spring, Jim left a flirtatious comment with a love heart and muscle emoji under one of Jennifer's workout videos on Instagram. Sources confirmed to People magazine that the pair were introduced by mutual friends and that Jen had been familiar with his work for nearly two years.

An insider revealed in July that "They've been seeing each other for a few months now... They are dating, but it's still casual." The recent very public declaration on social media, however, suggests things have become much more serious, with some reports now speculating that Jim could be 'The One' for the actress.

This marks Aniston's first public relationship since her divorce from actor Justin Theroux in 2018. She was previously famously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005.
