Jim Curtis says his relationship with Jennifer Aniston is going strong—and that the couple has been together considerably longer than many fans may have realized. During an August 31 appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, the hypnotherapist and author said he and the actress have now been dating for “a year and a half.”
The revelation offers a clearer timeline for the celebrity couple, whose romance first attracted widespread attention in 2025. Curtis, 50, also spoke warmly about Aniston, 57, and explained how they approach disagreements behind the scenes.
Jim Curtis Reveals a Surprising Relationship Timeline
According to PEOPLE, Curtis described the relationship as one that is “going really well.” He called Aniston grounded, open, caring and kind, while adding that he feels fortunate to have been welcomed by the close group of friends she considers family.
The year-and-a-half estimate reaches back beyond the photographs that first placed the pair in the public spotlight. In July 2025, Aniston and Curtis were seen vacationing in Mallorca with friends, including Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka. Those images sparked intense speculation about their connection.
Neither Curtis nor Aniston has publicly provided an exact date for when their friendship became a romantic relationship. Curtis previously offered a less specific account during a January appearance on Today, saying mutual friends introduced them and that their relationship developed gradually.
“It took a long time,” Curtis said at the time, explaining that they began by chatting before becoming closer. He had previously estimated that they had been together for months and were approaching a year. Reports in May suggested the pair had recently celebrated their first anniversary.
Powerful Details About How the Couple Handles Conflict
Curtis also shared an unusually practical look at how he and Aniston deal with disagreements. Host Jamie Kern Lima asked whether they use a four-part prayer built around the phrases “I’m sorry. I’m listening. Thank you. I love you.”
Curtis said they have used the approach, but it is not usually their first step. Instead, he said the pair relies heavily on meditation and conversation. He also highlighted acceptance and understanding as important tools when tensions arise.
“We do a lot of meditation. We do a lot of talk,” Curtis said, as reported by Just Jared. He suggested that different stages of a relationship may call for different methods, adding that the couple does not always need “big sledgehammers” to work through challenges.
- Meditation helps create space before difficult conversations.
- Open communication remains central to their relationship.
- Acceptance and understanding are used before more structured techniques.
Aniston’s Friends Have Welcomed Curtis
One of Curtis’s most affectionate comments focused on Aniston’s longtime friends. He described the group as a “beautiful community” and said he feels “incredibly blessed” to have been welcomed into it.
He credited the group’s grounded and kind nature as part of the reason its members have remained close for so many years. Aniston’s social media posts have increasingly offered glimpses of Curtis within that circle, including a summer photo carousel featuring friends such as Jason Bateman, Amanda Anka, Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup.
The actress also appeared to make the relationship unmistakably public in November 2025, when she shared a black-and-white photograph of herself embracing Curtis for his 50th birthday. She captioned the image with the words “my love.”
What Comes Next for Jim Curtis and Jennifer Aniston?
The couple is preparing to share the spotlight in a more formal setting. Aniston is scheduled to interview Curtis at New York’s 92nd Street Y on September 2. The event will focus on his upcoming book, The Book of Possibility, and will include a guided meditation led by Curtis.
The appearance could provide another opportunity for fans to hear the pair discuss personal growth, emotional wellness and their relationship. For now, Curtis’s comments suggest a romance built on patience, private history and a calm approach to public attention.
