Jennifer Aniston confirms romance with Hollywood hypnotist Jim Curtis as famous pals react

Jennifer Aniston has delighted fans by going Instagram official with her boyfriend Jim Curtis.

The Friends star - who was previously married to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux - sparked romance rumours with Hollywood hypnotist and “love guru” Curtis on holiday in Mallorca in July.

The life coach, 50, was then seen supporting Aniston, 56, at the series three premiere of her Apple TV drama, The Morning Show.

Aniston confirmed their relationship on Sunday, sharing a sweet black and white photo of her smiling while hugging Curtis from behind.

“Happy birthday my love. Cherished,” she captioned the post, alongside a red heart emoji. Curtis commented on the photo with a kissing face emoji.

The snap appeared to have been taken at Curtis’ swanky 50th birthday party at the weekend, which was attended by dozens of his loved ones.

Aniston’s famous friends flooded the comments section of her post with praise for the couple.

Comedian Amy Schumer wrote: “Beautiful couple. Healing kind angels,” alongside a love heart emoji.

Model Miranda Kerr and actresses Jenna Dewan, Olivia Munn, and Leslie Mann all shared their appreciation with love hearts.

Former Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe commented: “FINE I BELIEVE IN LOVE.”

Curtis shared his own Instagram snaps from his milestone birthday bash on Saturday, although he didn’t include any of Aniston.

“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,” he wrote.

He describes himself as a “transformational coach and hypnotherapist” and has more than 600,000 followers on Instagram.

Aniston - who has previously discussed her 20-year struggle with fertility - is thought to have been following Curtis on Instagram for almost two years.

The couple sparked dating speculation when they were seen on a yacht together in Spain over the summer.

They were on holiday with Aniston’s longtime actor friend Jason Bateman, his wife, and other friends.

“They do everything together, they are always together, and if they have to be away from each other, they are on the phone all the time. They are so hot and heavy, it's crazy,” source told the Daily Mail in August.

“The amazing thing is that they click really well because they have the same interests like meditation, yoga, therapy and dogs.”

Curtis recently talked about embracing love later in life when asked by a fan on Instagram: “How to find love at 42?”

“That's a great question, same as you do at 22 and 32 but with more confidence, more experience and more authenticity,” he said.

“You're not old. First love yourself and recognize that you are the perfect age. And that life is not over at 42.

“When you are 62 and 72, you will look back at 42 and wish that you were that age. So start now. Go out, open yourself to love. Make eye contact and smile.

“Connect with people, and most importantly, love yourself. When you love yourself, you will magnetize more love to you.”

Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt, 61, from 2005 until 2005. Her second marriage was to Justin Theroux, 54, from 2011 to 2017.
