Jennifer Aniston is approaching a milestone anniversary with her boyfriend.
Nearly a year after the Friends alum, 56, began dating boyfriend Jim Curtis, a source tells PEOPLE that the pair is a perfect match.
"Jim's very laid-back, but also focused and driven," the insider says. "He just does things in a very calm way. He brings good energy and this is something Jen loves. Jen can be very Type A and takes on a lot. He's very steady and grounded. He's not a stressed out, high intensity guy and that balance works well for her. There's no drama, no emotional games, or whiplash. In many ways, it's the most mature relationship she's ever been in."
According to the source, Aniston and Curtis “started out as friends,” which was “different” for the actress.
“She took her time getting to know him,” the source continues. “She already knew she liked so many things about him before it turned romantic. She was actually a bit hesitant, because she really appreciated him as a friend and wanted to keep him around. But life is short and her friends encouraged her to date him.”
The insider adds: “She feels so grateful to share her life with him. She's enjoying every moment. And at this stage, that's enough for her. She's happy with where things are. She isn't really making big plans for the future. She's not chasing anything. She's just incredibly happy, comfortable and proud to be dating him. And they're truly adorable together."
The Morning Show star and the hypnotherapist first sparked romance rumors in July 2025, and PEOPLE confirmed they were dating shortly after. In November, they went Instagram official, with Aniston posting a photo of herself with her arms wrapped around Curtis and the caption, “Happy birthday my love Cherished ❤️”
While they have kept things relatively private, Curtis recently opened up about the relationship during an appearance on the Today show on Monday, Jan. 26.
“We were just introduced by friends. That’s it. We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat,” Curtis said when anchor Craig Melvin asked how he and Aniston met.
Curtis went on to explain that their talks didn’t immediately lead to a relationship: “It took a long time, we chatted for a long time and we became close,” he noted.
He was vague about the specific timeline of the relationship, but revealed that they have been together for “a long time, months now, almost close to a year.”
Melvin then joked, “I’m not gonna put you on the spot anymore because you’re kind of blushing right now,” to which the wellness expert, who was on the show promoting his new book The Book of Possibility, admitted, “Okay, yeah I sure am.”
Earlier this month, a source shared details on the couple’s romance with PEOPLE, saying that Aniston “had a great end to the year and feels really good about where things are with Jim.”
“She's excited about this new year and what's ahead, especially with Jim by her side now,” the source added. “Jen's always been fine on her own and comfortable being single, but her relationship with Jim is just different.”
“She's very happy and comfortable,” the insider said at the time. “He's just so sweet and supportive of her. He makes her everyday life better."
Jennifer Aniston and Friends Show Off Stunning Summer Styles
These days, when people say something is basic, they don’t always mean it in a flattering way. But when it comes to wardrobe staples, basic is anything but boring. Just look at the ways Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, and Joanna Gaines have been wearing them.
All three stars recently wore mix-and-match pieces that are the foundation of any great capsule wardrobe. Aniston paired vintage-wash jeans with a fitted black tank for a sleek, casual look, and Garner dressed up light-wash jeans with a luxe-looking, short-sleeve polo shirt. As for Gaines, she went monochromatic in black jeans and a loose-fitting tank.
If you’re also now inspired to upgrade your own staples, keep scrolling for lookalike Quince clothing pieces starting at $16.
Jennifer Aniston’s Minimalist Masterclass
Aniston’s minimalist tank top and jeans combo is a go-to for her, and we can see why. To recreate her effortless ensemble, we found this Quince tank top with a modest scoop neck, fitted silhouette, and thick straps. It’s made of breathable cotton that’s lightweight enough for summer but can also be layered in the fall and winter. Team it with this pair of jeans, which has a vintage-inspired wash similar to the actress’s. The wide-leg style makes them a comfortable choice whether you’re running errands or heading to lunch.
Jennifer Garner’s Polished Polo
If your style favors classic silhouettes, Jennifer Garner’s sunset look belongs in your closet. Her timeless polo shirt looks nearly identical to this Quince one, which is made of soft, luxe cashmere. It has ribbed, fitted arms, a mid-sized collar, and an adjustable button-front neckline. Shoppers say it’s “lightweight enough for warm weather,” with one noting they “didn’t feel hot at all” wearing it on a 90-degree day. When it comes to her jeans, this lightwash pair is a great option with its subtle heathering at the hips and traditional five-pocket design. The barrel silhouette isn’t overwhelming, and reviewers call them “comfortable in all the right places.”
Joanna Gaines’ Black Basics
Basics are timeless, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also feel modern. Gaines’ monochromatic look proves that. Like this Quince top, her tank has a breezier fit with a subtle curve along the arms, and yes, while it looks good on its own, it’s also great for styling under linen button downs in summer and cardigans come fall. Our personal favorite piece of her look, though, is the sleek, flared jeans. Achieve the same style with Quince’s Luna pair, which mirrors Gaines’ silhouette and has built-in stretch for comfortable, all-day wear and a just-right mid-rise fit.
