Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend Jim Curtis is shaping how insiders frame her next chapter. According to a source, the “FRIENDS” alum is open to a blended setup with Curtis, a wellness coach and hypnotist with a teenage son.
The pair soft-launched in July during a Mallorca trip, then went public with a red-carpet turn at “The Morning Show” season-four premiere. Consequently, coverage now tracks the Jennifer Aniston–Jim Curtis relationship alongside a quieter story: whether she’ll lean into a supportive step-parent role.
Jennifer Aniston ‘would love to play step-mom role’ to Jim Curtis’ son, per source
A Closer source says, “Jen’s been incredibly understanding about Jim’s situation with his son and has offered to do anything she can to help.” However, the insider adds, “he’s not pushing herself into their dynamic though, she knows how delicate it is and she’s very respectful. The last thing she wants to do is force anything so she’s leaving the ball in Jim’s court.”
The outlet further reports, “She loves that Jim is a dad and it’s no secret that she’d love to play the step-mom role.” Moreover, the same source says, “Jen is in this for the long haul with Jim.”
Aniston has also described personal acceptance around motherhood. On the Armchair Expert podcast, she said, “It’s so peaceful….there’s literally nothing I can do about it.” She later admitted, “It’s very emotional, especially in the moment when they say, ‘That’s it.’” Those lines sum up why the conversation between Jennifer Aniston and Jim Carrey’s son resonates now.
Curtis’s profile rounds out the picture. As Marie Claire notes, he’s 50, works in wellness, and walks with a cane after long-term health challenges. In an October Instagram Q&A, he offered simple advice: “First love yourself and recognise that you are the perfect age.” He added, “When you love yourself, you will magnetize more love to you.”
Publicly, the couple keeps things low-key. Still, Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend narrative has expanded since her Instagram birthday post calling Curtis “my love.”
Privately, the Closer source suggests measured steps: “In a perfect world his relationship with his son will get to a point where they can all spend time together.” For now, the Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis relationship appears steady and practical.
