Jennifer Aniston seems to be enjoying her new relationship as she was spotted on a dinner date in Malibu with her boyfriend, Jim Curtis, on Monday, August 18. The couple dined at Nobu, joined by Aniston’s longtime friend Courteney Cox and Cox’s partner, musician Johnny McDaid. The group was photographed leaving the restaurant, with Cox and McDaid exiting first, followed by Aniston and Curtis. Aniston kept her look stylish in jeans and a tied-waist jacket, while Curtis went for a relaxed denim button-down shirt and trousers, using a cane for support. Cox paired a denim jacket with a satin skirt, while McDaid kept it simple in black.
The evening marked another public appearance for Aniston and Curtis, who have been dating for a few months. Their romance first caught attention in July when the two were photographed vacationing on a yacht in Mallorca, Spain. During that trip, Curtis, an author and life coach known for his work in hypnotherapy, was seen giving Aniston a shoulder massage, sparking curiosity about their relationship. Aniston had already hinted at a connection when she featured his book, Shift Quantum Manifestation Guide: A Workbook for Coding a New Consciousness, in an Instagram post earlier this year. Fans later noticed Curtis leaving a playful comment on her social media back in April, fueling further speculation.
According to sources, the couple was introduced through mutual friends. Aniston had been familiar with Curtis’s work before meeting him, as she has long been interested in wellness and self-help. While the relationship is still described as casual, those close to her say she is open to sharing her life with someone, as long as it feels right. “Jen’s in a really good place,” an insider shared, noting that she is grounded, fulfilled, and happy at this stage in her life.
The Malibu outing wasn’t the first time Aniston and Curtis have enjoyed a double date with friends. Earlier this month, the couple joined Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka, for dinner in New York City. A source told US Weekly that Aniston and Curtis are “happy and really into each other,” often spending time together quietly at her Los Angeles home. For now, the actress seems to be balancing her independence with the joy of a new romance.
