We’re calling this the one where Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend made everyone go ‘awww’ - Jim Curtis has offered rare insight into his relationship with the Friends star, and he couldn’t feel more "blessed".
Jim was interviewed on the Jamie Kern Lima podcast, where he discussed more about his work as a transformational coach working with a blend of neuroscience and spiritual principles - and, naturally, questions about his courtship of the Emmy winner came up.
The pair have been together for a year-and-a-half, and Jim described himself as being "incredibly blessed" to be "in a relationship with someone that is so open-hearted, kind and loving" - and shared their top tool for handling arguments.

He said, "My experience of her is so grounded and so open and caring and kind and loving… She uses words like ‘my love’ and she has this group of best friends that are like family."
"I feel incredibly blessed to be welcomed into that family", he continued, before adding, "Such a beautiful community and group of people. It really speaks to her and them, that everybody is so grounded, so kind and it's not just to me."
When the host shared her own experience with Jennifer, praising her for being “inclusive”, Jim heaped even more praise on his partner, giving her credit for remaining so open given everything that she’s gone through so publicly.
He said of her kindness, "You would understand if she was less so, right? I think that she is a real example of stepping into possibility. She came from living in New York and New Jersey and into this kind of household name and retained herself."
In a conversation about overcoming negativity and the more difficult moments, Jim did touch on how he and Jennifer handle their own arguments. When asked what their best way of dealing with it is, Jim answered, "Meditation".
He added, "Jen and I have been together a year and a half" so he doesn’t necessarily need to rely on loftier ways of conflict resolution yet. Instead, in addition to meditation, they turn to "Acceptance, understanding… In a honeymoon phase, your tools don’t have to be like big sledgehammers."
During a previous appearance on the Ced with Intention podcast, Jim touched on this topic in more detail. He said, "I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend. We spend a lot of time in the house together. Sometimes, we can have little things flare up. We have the opportunity to be silent, angry, leave the house, think about it and meditate on how to change it."
"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."
Jennifer has kept things relatively private, but she did praise him during an Elle magazine interview in 2025 as "very special, very normal and very kind" adding, "He's quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people".
