Jim Curtis said on Aug. 31 that he and Jennifer Aniston have been together for a year and a half and are still in the honeymoon phase. In the same interview, he described the relationship as going really well and said the pair handle disagreements with meditation, talking, acceptance and understanding.
That timeline gives fresh shape to a relationship that has been watched closely since it surfaced publicly after summer 2025 photos. Curtis, 57, did not give a start date, but his account suggests the romance began well before those images drew attention and before the pair started appearing more openly around Aniston’s circle.
Curtis said mutual friends introduced him and Aniston, and that it took a long time for chatting to turn into something closer. He described Aniston as grounded, open, caring and kind, and said he feels fortunate to have been welcomed into her close group of friends, which he called a beautiful community. Aniston has also brought Curtis into view more often, including in her July summer photo carousel with Jason Bateman, Amanda Anka, Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup.
The friction in this story is simple: Curtis says the relationship has lasted a year and a half, but the public only learned of it after the summer 2025 photos. He tried to square that gap by framing the romance as something that moved slowly, with the pair leaning on calm conversation rather than conflict. He said they have even used the prayer, “I’m sorry. I’m listening. Thank you. I love you,” though not as a standard opening move.
The next visible marker is set for Sept. 2, when Aniston is scheduled to interview Curtis at New York’s 92nd Street Y for an event tied to his upcoming book, The Book of Possibility. The appearance, which will also include a guided meditation led by Curtis, will put the couple into a public setting again and may tell readers more about how they are presenting a relationship that has already moved faster in private than it did in public.
