Aniston and Curtis were first photographed vacationing together in Mallorca in July 2025. She publicly confirmed the relationship that November while celebrating his 50th birthday on Instagram, posting a picture of herself embracing him from behind.
“Happy birthday my love. Cherished,” she wrote.
However, Curtis said during an August 31, 2026 appearance on the Jamie Kern Lima Show that they had been together for “a year and a half.” Taken literally, that would place the beginning of their romance around February 2025, roughly five months before the Mallorca photographs.
That is not necessarily a contradiction. His description of a long friendship suggests the relationship may have developed privately before anyone with a camera noticed. Celebrity timelines, after all, are generally based on public sightings rather than signed attendance sheets.
Curtis also said he had a premonition on his 47th birthday that, by the time he turned 50, he would find romance “with someone unlike anyone [he] had ever been in a relationship with.” Aniston’s birthday post arrived right on schedule.
How do they handle disagreements?
Curtis has described the relationship as close but deliberately managed. On the Jamie Kern Lima Show, he said the couple uses meditation, conversation and acceptance after arguments.
Rather than trying to avoid every disagreement, they pause, meditate and discuss what happened. The approach fits Curtis’s professional focus on emotional patterns and personal change, while also sounding considerably calmer than the average domestic dispute.
Us Weekly reported on September 4 that Aniston and Curtis have discussed a long-term future but are “not rushing” into marriage. More recent speculation about weddings, children and adoption has relied on unnamed sources and has not produced any confirmed plans.
For now, the couple has continued appearing together both online and in public. Their most notable recent outing also doubled as promotion for Curtis’s forthcoming book, which is convenient but hardly unusual.
How Curtis’s health shaped his work
Curtis is promoting The Book of Possibility, scheduled for publication on September 22. Aniston interviewed him during an advance event at New York’s 92NY on September 2, telling the audience that supporting him was “an honor.”
Curtis acknowledged the obvious attraction in the room. “How many people here just came here to see Jennifer Aniston interview me?” he joked.
The discussion covered a serious part of his history. Doctors discovered lesions on Curtis’s spinal cord when he was in his 20s, leading to partial paralysis, chronic nerve damage and a lasting limp. He has said the experience became central to the wellness and coaching work he later built.
At the event, Curtis recalled once telling people that his limp resulted from a motorcycle accident because he felt “broken.” Over time, he said, he learned to view the condition through self-acceptance rather than shame. That personal shift now forms part of both his coaching philosophy and the book campaign.
Aniston’s involvement therefore went beyond a standard celebrity appearance. She helped introduce his account of disability, recovery and emotional change to an audience far larger than his existing coaching clientele.
Aniston’s relationship history
Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 until 2005. She later married Justin Theroux in 2015, with the couple separating in 2018.
Curtis’s comments suggest neither he nor Aniston is treating their current relationship as a race toward another wedding. Publicly, they have focused instead on friendship, meditation and supporting each other’s work.
Whether their private timeline began in February or closer to the Mallorca trip remains unclear. What Curtis has made clear is that the friendship came first, the romance developed without much pressure, and Instagram played only a supporting role. For a celebrity relationship, that is almost suspiciously ordinary.
