In a heartwarming public moment, Adam Sandler has openly celebrated his close friend Jennifer Aniston's new romantic relationship with hypnotist Jim Curtis. The touching tribute occurred on Monday evening as Sandler presented Aniston with a prestigious honour at the ELLE Women in Hollywood awards in Beverly Hills.
A Supportive Friend's Heartfelt Words
The 59-year-old Happy Gilmore actor used his stage time to express genuine happiness for his friend of four decades. Addressing the 56-year-old Friends star directly before a packed audience, Sandler declared: 'When we are around you, me and [my wife] Jackie are so happy you and Jim found each other and are having the love affair you two deserve.'
He continued his public endorsement of the new couple, adding warmly: 'We love you, Jim. The whole world loves you, Jack.' Sandler, who has played Aniston's husband in Netflix's Murder Mystery film series, further praised her enduring character, describing her as 'the most rocksteady human I've ever met' and noting he'd only seen her angry about two and a half times in their 40-year friendship.
A Significant Public Debut for the Couple
The event marked a major relationship milestone for Aniston and Curtis, serving as their first significant public appearance together since romance rumours began circulating. Although the actress walked the red carpet solo, she was photographed alongside Curtis inside the Four Seasons Hotel venue.
Observers noted the hypnotist looking proudly at his girlfriend as she prepared to accept her accolade. In a recent interview with ELLE, Aniston herself spoke highly of her new partner, calling him 'very special, very normal, and very kind' and praising his work helping people heal from trauma.
Beyond Romance: Aniston Speaks on AI in Hollywood
During her own acceptance speech, Aniston addressed the ongoing Hollywood debate surrounding artificial intelligence. The acclaimed actress argued that AI technology could never replicate the genuine talent of actors or the authentic relationships they build both on and off screen.
According to PEOPLE magazine sources, Aniston's relationship with Curtis 'is different' from her previous high-profile marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. An insider revealed she 'acts like she feels very safe with him' and is genuinely excited about this new chapter in her personal life.
