Jennifer Aniston‘s boyfriend Jim Curtis has revealed he ‘wasn’t searching for love anymore’ when they first met, as he shared rare insight into their romance.
The couple have now been dating for over a year, and the wellness coach said that they were in a ‘months-long friendship’ before they officially got together.
Speaking in a new interview, Jim said that he feels ‘real joy and partnership’ with Jennifer after a divorce and string of failed relationships.
After romance rumours first surfaced in May 2025, Jennifer went Instagram official with Jim to mark his birthday last November.
Earlier this month the couple put their love on full display as she hosted a Q&A with him to promote his book The Book Of Possibility.
Speaking about their relationship, Jim said: ‘There was a many-month friendship first.’

He went on to tell The Sunday Times Magazine: ‘The drive was more natural, more organic, less needy. In the past I’ve felt this idea of, ”I need you to be in love with me …” I wasn’t searching for love any more,’
‘And what do I feel now? I feel real joy, real presence, real calmness, real partnership.’
Jennifer went Instagram official with Jim to mark his birthday last November.
At the time, she professed her love for her beau as she shared a black and white image of her hugging him from behind.
She captioned the loved-up photo: ‘Happy birthday, my love. Cherished .’
The hypnotist also posted snapshots from his birthday party on his Instagram account across two posts.
One caption read: ’50 and feeling good! Birthday recap part 1. Thank you for all the wishes and love. So grateful for you my friends, family and community.’
Another more romantic one, including a wider shot of the photo Jennifer posted, had the sweet note, ‘If this is a dream I don’t want to wake up. .’

On Wednesday, insiders shared insight on the current state of the couple’s romance to Us Weekly.
The source claimed that Aniston and Curtis have ‘moved beyond the excitement of a new relationship and are developing a genuine partnership’.
The pair are said to have ‘an ease about them that’s infectious’ and that that ease stems from them feeling ‘accepted’ by one another.
‘It comes from feeling accepted rather than needing to impress each other,’ the insider explained.
‘They are more trusting and less guarded. They are just as comfortable discussing difficult subjects as they are being vulnerable with each other. It’s grown from an exciting connection to a dependable partnership.’
The insider also shared that Aniston’s friends are impressed by how ‘naturally’ her and Curtis’s ‘lives have blended together despite coming from totally different worlds’.
Pals are also convinced that the secret to the couple’s romantic success is because Curtis ‘is not part of the industry’ and does ‘his own thing’.
