Sweet snap shows Jennifer Aniston cozy with boyfriend Jim Curtis: 'I love this man'

On her Instagram Stories, Jennifer Aniston didn’t just share boyfriend Jim Curtis’s new book — she followed it up with a rare show of affection. After posting the cover, she put up a second slide with a heart and a straight-to-the-point message about the man behind it.

“And I love this man.”

The post spotlights Curtis’s new release, The Book of Possibility: Release. Align. Become. Aniston called out how much she loved the book itself before making it personal, nudging the project — and their relationship — into the public eye at the same time.

She’s been backing that up offline, too. Aniston moderated Curtis’s conversation at New York’s 92NY, praised him from the stage as “quite extraordinary,” and, by her own account, pushed past a fear of public speaking to help launch the book.

Where things stand

The pair have been together for about a year and a half, and their day-to-day has reportedly grown pretty seamless. Curtis is said to split his time between New York City and Aniston’s Bel Air home, with the two spending long stretches together that amount to life under one roof.

As for the vibe, Curtis has described their connection as calm, joyful, present and grounded. When disagreements pop up, they reportedly lean on meditation, self-soothing and open conversations to work through it.

He’s also met the inner circle. Curtis has been spending time with Aniston’s close friends, including:

• Courteney Cox
• Jason Bateman
• Amanda Anka

All of this rolled out alongside a wave of interest for the book — their 92NY talk in New York sold out.
