Jennifer Aniston NYC Date Night
Jennifer Aniston was spotted enjoying a low-key dinner in New York City with her new boyfriend, renowned hypnotist and life coach Jim Curtis. The couple dined for over three hours with Aniston’s longtime friend and Ozark star Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka, in the West Village on August 4, 2025. The outing follows weeks of growing public interest in Aniston’s new relationship, which insiders say is rooted in shared values around wellness and personal growth.
Jim Curtis is a transformational coach and wellness expert who has worked with high-profile clients like Miranda Kerr and Chrissy Teigen. He has also held leadership roles at WebMD and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Diagnosed with spinal cord lesions in his 20s, Curtis walks with a cane and has spoken publicly about overcoming chronic pain through mind-body healing practices. He co-authored The Stimulati Experience: 9 Skills for Getting Past Pain, and his work focuses on using hypnotherapy and emotional transformation for healing and success.
Curtis and Aniston were first linked romantically after being introduced through mutual friends earlier this year. Their connection deepened over shared interests in mindfulness and self-development. In July, the couple were photographed vacationing together on a yacht in Mallorca alongside Bateman, Anka, and Amy Schumer. Photos from the trip showed Curtis rubbing Aniston’s shoulders and the pair holding hands, fueling speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Sources close to Aniston told People magazine that the two have been “casually dating” and that Aniston is “in a very good place right now—grounded, fulfilled, and very happy.” Another insider described the relationship as “Zen” and added that they’re “a good match.” The couple’s chemistry seems to be rooted in a deep sense of mutual understanding and shared lifestyle values.
At their New York dinner, Aniston wore a flowing white sundress with sandals and a crossbody bag, while Curtis opted for white jeans, a blue shirt, and walked with the assistance of a cane. Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka, who have long been part of Aniston’s inner circle, joined the couple at the intimate meal. According to eyewitnesses, the group appeared relaxed and cheerful, with the evening wrapping up after several hours.
In his own words, Curtis reflected on his personal transformation in a July 14 newsletter shared after their Mallorca trip. “When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain, I never thought I would have the abundance, joy and love I now experience on a daily basis,” he wrote. That sentiment appears to mirror Aniston’s current chapter as well—one marked by peace, privacy, and a renewed sense of joy.
This is Aniston’s first public relationship since her split from actor Justin Theroux in 2018. Previously, she was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. Aniston has also spoken publicly about using hypnosis to conquer her fear of flying, calling the results “shockingly good”—an experience that may have created space for deeper trust in Curtis’s approach to life and healing.
While the relationship is still in its early stages, it’s clear Aniston and Curtis are moving deliberately, surrounded by trusted friends, and focused on well-being over spectacle. Their NYC dinner date is the latest sign that this relationship is becoming a steady presence in her life.
