Jennifer Aniston is counting her blessings when it comes to her relationship with Jim Curtis.
The pair have been dating for nearly a year, and the actress is said to feel lucky to have him in her life.
While they have largely kept their romance out of the public eye, sources say it is built on mutual respect, with Jennifer Aniston reportedly feeling more secure in this relationship than in any of her past ones.
The Actress Feels ‘Lucky’ Being With Jim Curtis
Nearly a year into their whirlwind romance, Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis are still going strong.
For the actress, being in the relationship has reportedly made her realize just “how lucky she is,” especially as he has completely shifted her perspective on life.
“In life and career, yeah, but also in crossing paths with Jim when she did and having the courage to pursue a partnership with him,” an insider told Star Magazine of the actress.
Even fans of the actress seem to have been won over by the hunky hypnotherapist, despite her previously being married to higher-profile figures like Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, and having been in relationships with the likes of John Mayer and Vince Vaughn.
“No doubt Jen has fans who are skeptical of Jim or who wonder if he’s just after her money or impressive connections,” the source shared. “But Jen is a lot more secure with this man than she was with any of her previous lovers and husbands.”
The Couple’s Relationship Is Built On Mutual Respect
Aniston and Curtis have kept their relationship low-key, aside from occasionally sharing loved-up photos of themselves online.
Away from public view, the pair are reportedly making a conscious effort to ensure their relationship works by doing all the right things.
“Top to bottom, it’s a relationship built on mutual respect, and they truly prioritize spending a lot of distraction-free time together,” the source revealed about the couple. “She and Jim really are on a journey together and are figuring out their future.”
In the future, the couple is also hoping to explore more beyond their current base in Los Angeles once Aniston wraps up filming the fifth season of “The Morning Show.”
“Jen has the money to shake everything up in her life when that commitment wraps, and Jim has the vision and good judgment to help her do it,” added the insider. “The possibilities are limitless!”
Jennifer Aniston And Jim Curtis Spend A lot Of Time Together
Proof of the duo spending a lot of time together was given by Curtis himself during his recent appearance on the “Ced With Intention” podcast.
“I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend. We spend a lot of time in the house together,” he told his host.
Staying together has come with a number of benefits for the couple, including knowing how best to resolve the occasional issues they have.
“Sometimes, we can have little things flare up. We have the opportunity to be silent, angry, [we] could leave the house, think about it, and meditate on how to change it,” the hypnotherapist revealed at the time.
“Or we can say, ‘Hey, this is what happened, I’m sorry,’ and do the repair, and then go and work on making sure it happens less or doesn’t happen again. Because once you make a repair and it just happens five more times, no one trusts it,” he added.
The Couple Was Introduced By A Mutual Friend
Speculations began swirling in July that Aniston is in a relationship with Curtis when they were first spotted looking cozy on a yacht during a trip to Mallorca, Spain.
The relationship rumors were later confirmed that month, and it was also revealed that they had met through a mutual friend.
“They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends. Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work,” said a source, per People Magazine. “He’s very different from anyone she’s dated before.”
Jennifer Aniston And Jim Curtis Went Instagram Official On The Hypnotist’s Birthday
The couple finally went Instagram official on Curtis’ birthday in November, which officially confirmed to the world that they were an item.
At the time, Aniston took to the platform to share a photo of herself wrapping her arms around him from behind, with the caption, “Happy birthday, my love.”
Her post led to a flood of supportive comments from fans and some of her Hollywood colleagues.
Actress Reese Witherspoon wrote, “Happy Birthday! LOVE this Lovestory,” while actor Cheyenne Jackson commented, “Love love love this and you.”
