Jennifer Aniston’s love life is once again capturing public attention — this time for her blossoming relationship with relationship coach and author Jim Curtis. The couple recently went public during a sun-soaked getaway in Mallorca, where they were photographed enjoying romantic moments by the beach. Later, they were spotted dining together at the luxurious Ventana Big Sur resort in California, confirming that this relationship is more than just a summer fling.
Who Is Jim Curtis?
At 49, Jim Curtis has built a reputation as a motivational speaker, hypnotist, and author of several self-help books. Originally from Massachusetts, Curtis has been open in his writings about overcoming personal struggles, including family challenges and past relationship hardships. Today, he markets himself as a love and personal growth expert — and it seems he has found a real connection with the former Friends star.
What His Ex-Girlfriend Has to Say
One of Curtis’s ex-girlfriends, Alyssa Pettinato, a 37-year-old wedding planner and podcaster, has nothing but praise for him. In fact, she claims he might be the best match Aniston has ever had.
“I jokingly called him ‘Uncle Jesse,’” Pettinato said, referencing John Stamos’s charming character from Full House. “He’s handsome, successful, smart — qualities that naturally attract women.”
Pettinato revealed that she met Curtis through a dating app, and although their romance only lasted a few months, she looks back fondly. “We went on a few dates. He’s genuinely a good man. It didn’t work out because I pulled away, but I can honestly say he’d be an incredible partner for the right person. He’s low-drama, easy to talk to, and gets along with everyone. We’re still on good terms.”
Earlier this year, Pettinato even invited Curtis onto her podcast, where they discussed how men can handle breakups with maturity. “It was about maintaining dignity when relationships end — and not being a jerk,” she explained.
“Better Than Brad or Justin”
Perhaps her most surprising statement was her comparison of Curtis to Aniston’s ex-husbands, Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. “I think Jim is a better match for her than either of them,” Pettinato claimed.
She also highlighted a shared cultural background between Curtis and Aniston: “Jim is Greek, and so am I — and so is Jennifer. I think that kind of cultural connection can be powerful.”
A Cultural Bond and a Fresh Chapter
Jennifer Aniston, whose late father John Aniston was born in Greece, has often spoken about her Greek heritage and upbringing in the Greek Orthodox tradition. Sources close to the actress say that this common heritage, along with their shared passion for personal development, is one of the reasons the relationship feels natural.
An insider revealed: “Jen’s friends think Jim is perfect for her. They both value personal growth, and she feels he truly understands her. She’s read countless self-help books, and meeting Jim felt like fate.”
As the romance continues to unfold, fans are eager to see whether Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis’s connection will stand the test of time. For now, the actress appears happy, grounded, and surrounded by supportive friends who believe this could be the real deal.
