Jennifer Aniston is embracing the festive season with newfound joy, celebrating her first Christmas with boyfriend Jim Curtis. The Hollywood icon, 56, has offered fans a heartwarming glimpse into her private life, sharing intimate snaps from her holiday celebrations at home.
A Cozy and Intimate Holiday Celebration
The Friends star treated her followers to a series of personal photos from her Hollywood residence on Thursday. The images captured the couple's relaxed and cherished moments, including a particularly sweet snapshot of Jim Curtis, 50, beaming as he held a baby. Another showed Aniston in a serene moment with one of her dogs against a stunning patio sunset.
In a candid glimpse of everyday life amidst the festivities, a photo revealed Jennifer taking a nap wearing an eye mask in her cosy, slightly cluttered living room. She captioned the festive carousel, "Sending you ALL the love, Happy holidays!"
This public display of domestic bliss follows a cosy Thanksgiving the pair spent together and comes after Aniston went "Instagram official" with the hypnotherapist in early November. She marked his birthday by sharing a black-and-white photo of herself hugging him from behind, with the caption: ‘Happy birthday, my love. Cherished.’
A Transformative and Supportive Partnership
The couple, first linked in July after being spotted on a yacht in Mallorca, have become inseparable. A source told the Daily Mail in August, "They do everything together, they are always together, and if they have to be away from each other, they are on the phone all the time. They are so hot and heavy, it’s crazy."
Insiders suggest this relationship marks a significant and positive shift for Aniston. A source close to the actress told People that Jim has "completely transformed" her life. "Everything in her life has come together and she’s excited about it. Jim’s the best. Her friends love him, he’s calm, very warm and incredibly supportive," the insider shared, adding that he has brought "a really steady and positive energy" into her world.
The source also noted that Curtis is "fascinated by her career — both as an actress and businesswoman — and loves being by her side to support her." This supportive dynamic was on display when Aniston brought Jim to the season three premiere of her Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show.
Finding Love After Personal Journeys
Aniston's high-profile relationship history, including her marriage to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and her later union with Justin Theroux from 2011 to 2017, has been widely documented. Sources indicate those experiences have helped her develop a clearer sense of what she seeks: a steady, warm, and deeply supportive partner.
For his part, Jim Curtis has been open about his own journey to finding love. In a heartfelt letter to his followers, the hypnotherapist, who uses a cane due to lesions on his spinal cord, reflected on healing from past pain. "I found love again, but only after I learned how to align with love from the inside out," he wrote.
He described using hypnotherapy to reprogram his subconscious, regain confidence, and let go of feeling "broken." He signed off the message: ‘With purpose and belief in you, Jim Curtis.’
The couple's bond has been strengthened by a shared love of rescue animals. Curtis shared photos of their three dogs: Aniston’s Labrador Lord Chesterfield and schnauzer Clyde alongside his own rescue dog, Odie. A source revealed that his decision to rescue Odie changed his approach to life and love, giving him a "clean slate" when he met Jennifer.
As they ring in the new year, Aniston and Curtis appear to have found a profound and joyful connection, with their first Christmas together serving as a testament to their blossoming romance.
