“Jennifer Aniston’s romance with Jim Curtis has reportedly raised concerns among some friends. They remain cautious about the relationship.”
A source told Page Six that several people in Aniston’s inner circle have yet to fully trust Curtis, with some reportedly worried that he could be an “opportunist” or appear overly performative.
Aniston, 57, and Curtis, 50, first fueled romance rumors in July 2025 after being photographed together during a trip to Mallorca, Spain. The actress had reportedly followed Curtis’ work for years before their relationship turned romantic.Kendall Jenner Romance May Affect Jacob Elordi’s Bond Chances

Curtis also discussed serious health challenges he experienced in his 20s, including spinal cord lesions, partial paralysis and chronic nerve pain.
