Jennifer Aniston Dishes On New Romance And Pays Tribute To Matthew Perry

Opening Up About New Love

Jennifer Aniston is letting some sun shine into her private life by sharing rare insights about her boyfriend, Jim Curtis. The Friends star, known for keeping her personal life under wraps, recently surprised fans by going public with her romance on Instagram. While the duo has been linked since May, it wasn't until Aniston's heartfelt post on Curtis's birthday that followers got a glimpse of her newfound happiness.

"Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does," Aniston revealed to Elle magazine, after being celebrated as one of their 2025 Women in Hollywood cover stars. "He's quite extraordinary," she added, emphasizing the depth and warmth Curtis brings to her life.

"And helps many, many people. He's very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity," she said. "It's a beautiful thing to commit your life to."

This marks the first time Aniston has publicly embraced a relationship since her 2018 split from Justin Theroux. Her recent Instagram post follows what she described as a "soft launch" of their relationship back in August.

Reflecting on the Loss of a Friend

In her candid chat with Elle, Aniston also reflected on the sobering news of Matthew Perry's passing. For fans of Friends, Perry's death was a heartbreaking moment, particularly for his close-knit co-stars.

"It was so alarming and shocking, yet not shocking," Aniston expressed. "[The Friends cast and I] always said, 'I hope I never get that phone call.' We miss him. He's missed." Her words paint a picture of a man deeply cherished by those who knew him best.

Perry, who had been battling depression and anxiety, tragically passed away in October 2023 due to the effects of ketamine use. Aniston's heartfelt recollection reminds us of the profound impact he had on his friends and fans alike.

While Los Angeles mourns the loss of one of its brightest stars, Aniston's openness about her personal joys and sorrows offers a poignant glimpse into her world, reminding us all of the enduring power of friendship and love.
