Wellness coach and hypnotherapist Jim Curtis, currently dating Jennifer Aniston, spoke about their relationship on the TODAY show on January 26, 2026. He also shared information about his forthcoming book.
Curtis, aged 50, shared with host Craig Melvin that he met Aniston, 56, through mutual acquaintances. “We found out that we had mutual friends, and we started to just chat,” said Curtis.
The wellness specialist underlined that their relationship evolved over time, rather than being an instantaneous spark. He stated that they communicated for a significant period before becoming close, emphasizing the gradual development of their connection. Curtis disclosed that they have been together for nearly a year when asked about their relationship timeline.
During the discussion, Melvin noted that Curtis seemed to be blushing while talking about his relationship with Aniston. Curtis confirmed this observation, admitting he was indeed blushing while talking about Aniston.
Their relationship first caught the public’s eye in July 2025 amid circulating dating rumors. Curtis was later seen at The Morning Show season 4 premiere, showing his support for Aniston. In November 2025, the relationship was confirmed on Instagram when Aniston shared a picture with Curtis on the platform.
In her November post, Aniston captioned the photo, “Happy birthday my love. Cherished,” marking the first public acknowledgement of their relationship. The couple had been previously spotted in Mallorca, Spain, with friends such as Jason Bateman, Amanda Anka, and Amy Schumer.
The couple made an official public appearance together at the ELLE Women in Hollywood event on November 17, 2025. This followed Aniston’s comments about Curtis in an ELLE magazine interview published on November 12, where she described Curtis as being very special and a healer through his work as a hypnotherapist.
At the ELLE event, Adam Sandler, who has collaborated with Aniston on several films, addressed the couple in his speech. Sandler expressed his happiness for Aniston and Curtis finding each other. Following Aniston’s birthday post for Curtis, her co-star on The Morning Show, Reese Witherspoon, commented that she loves their love story.
On New Year’s Day, January 1, 2026, Curtis continued celebrating their relationship by posting a photo with Aniston, marking another step in their public relationship.
In his TODAY show appearance, Curtis also talked about his professional endeavors and announced his upcoming book, The Book of Possibility. The book, set for a September 2026 release, will provide insight into his wellness practices and methodologies for helping people.
Prior to his career in health and wellness, Curtis was a Wall Street professional in the 1990s. He changed his career path significantly after being diagnosed with spinal lesions at the age of 22, which led him to focus on wellness and healing.
With over two decades of experience in health and wellness, Curtis has developed expertise in hypnotherapy and transformational coaching. His approach centers on assisting individuals in dealing with trauma, overcoming mental obstacles, and achieving clarity in their lives. Hypnotherapy employs guided relaxation and focused attention to help individuals attain a heightened state of awareness, making it easier to address psychological issues, alter behaviors, and manage pain.
For Aniston, the relationship with Curtis marks her first publicly acknowledged romantic relationship since her divorce from Justin Theroux in 2018. The actress was previously married to Brad Pitt before Theroux. Aniston being open about her relationship with Curtis represents a departure from her usually private approach to her personal life.
Aniston, the star of The Morning Show, has maintained a highly successful Hollywood career while managing high public curiosity in her personal life. Her readiness to share aspects of her relationship with Curtis on social media shows a comfort level with the relationship noted by fans and followers. The couple’s bond seems to be based on shared values around wellness and personal development.
The focus of Curtis’s work is helping people navigate past trauma and stagnation to find clarity and purpose. This aligns with wider cultural trends focusing on mental health, self-care, and holistic wellness. The growing acceptance of practices such as hypnotherapy in mainstream culture reflects changing attitudes towards mental health treatment, with more people exploring alternatives or additions to traditional therapy.
As Curtis prepares for the release of The Book of Possibility in September, his relationship with Aniston continues to draw public interest. His professional expertise in wellness, combined with his relationship with one of Hollywood’s most recognized actresses, places him uniquely at the intersection of celebrity culture and the wellness industry.
