Though they exited the restaurant in the same car, the couple reportedly entered their hotel through separate doors, continuing to keep their relationship relatively low-profile. The NYC outing follows their romantic Fourth of July weekend getaway to Mallorca, Spain, where the duo was spotted hugging on a yacht, according to Daily Mail.
People reports that Aniston and Curtis have been dating for a few months, after meeting through mutual friends. The Friends star was reportedly familiar with Curtis’ work before they met in person — she had read his self-help book and followed him on social media for nearly two years.
An insider told the publication that Jim is “different” from Aniston’s past partners and that the two share a “deep emotional intelligence.” Curtis, a motivational speaker and published author, focuses on helping people “break free from their past patterns” and live with purpose, according to Daily Mail.
His own personal health journey including a serious nerve condition diagnosed in 1995 — led him to explore hypnotherapy and mindfulness, eventually shaping his career in wellness.
Aniston has not publicly dated anyone since her 2018 breakup with actor Justin Theroux. She was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and to Theroux from 2015 until their separation. In 2022, Aniston opened up about her private struggles with IVF, saying she had “zero regrets” despite not having children.
