Smitten Jennifer Aniston Beams With New Boyfriend in NYC — But What’s Up With His Mystery Injury?

Jennifer Aniston’s love life is back in the spotlight, and this time it comes with a fresh wave of curiosity. Over the years, the Hollywood favorite has captivated fans not just with her on-screen endeavors but also with her off-screen romances. Now, a new chapter in the latter vein is unfolding loudly and proudly, thanks to back-to-back public outings including one in New York City. While the Friends icon looked smitten with her new man as the paparazzi captured her recently, it was, however, the latter’s injury that sparked curious questions.

From cozy excursions to lingering glances, given Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend’s noticeable hurt, the couple’s NYC outing had all the makings of a headline moment.

Jennifer Aniston’s latest signing ignites talks of both love and concern

Jennifer Aniston, according to the Daily Mail, glowed as she stepped out in New York on Wednesday, August 6, turning heads with her new boyfriend, Jim Curtis. The 56-year-old actress wore a sleek, all-black ensemble and sported a soft smile as Curtis, 49, walked closely by her side. The outing, for those not in the loop, came just days after the celebrity hypnotist sparked concerns when he was seen using a cane during dinner with Aniston, Jason Bateman, and the latter’s wife. The cane remained firmly in place during their latest date as well, though the nature of Curtis’s injury remained unclear.

Despite the visible discomfort, Jim Curtis appeared in good spirits yesterday in the Big Apple, matching Jennifer Aniston’s relaxed vibe. Notably, according to an Enquirer source, Curtis has long battled chronic health issues tied to spinal cord lesions diagnosed in his early 20s, a condition that can take an unpredictable turn without a warning. While speculations swirl that his latest injury could stem from the very health concern, no new details have emerged confirming the same. The only thing that remains clear is that Aniston and Curtis continue to enjoy each other’s company. How did it all start, though?

Their chemistry is clear, but how did Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis first connect? The origins of their quiet romance may surprise you.

Jennifer Aniston’s new romance began far from the spotlight

Jennifer Aniston’s new man appears to be a refreshing change of pace for the actress. According to PEOPLE, the Tinseltown diva is dating Jim Curtis casually, with a source for the outlet revealing the two were introduced through a mutual friend. Aniston, reportedly, was already familiar with Curtis’s work and had his authored work, given her strong interest in self-help and wellness. While still in the early phase of their alliance, the source divulged that the duo is having fun and keeping things light.

Jennifer Aniston had kept her dating life largely private since her high-profile marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. The Emmy winner recently reflected on how demanding the past few years have been, acknowledging that she is still learning to put herself first after juggling a hectic schedule filled with a few regrets. For Curtis, a second PEOPLE source noted that he is very different from anyone the actress has dated before, and that may be exactly what makes their connection feel right, to the extent that, as mentioned earlier, Aniston cannot stop beaming while being by his side.
