Jennifer Aniston Celebrates First Christmas with Boyfriend Jim Curtis — Adorable Photos Inside

Jennifer Aniston is embracing the holidays with love, family — and her new relationship.

The Morning Show star, 56, offered fans a rare peek into her festive celebrations on December 25, sharing a carousel of photos that featured her pups, close friends and boyfriend Jim Curtis, 50, marking the couple’s first Christmas season together.

“Sending you ALL the love ❤️ Happy holidays! 🎄🎁🐾,” Jennifer wrote on Instagram, showing Jim in a cozy moment playing with a baby while she cuddled up with her dogs and pals. It’s a glimpse fans have been waiting for since the pair quietly went public earlier this year.

According to a source who spoke to People earlier this month, planning for the holidays started early for the couple. “Jen loves this time of year. The holidays are when she slows down, truly enjoys her house and spends time with the people she loves,” the insider said. “She’s very happy to be spending it with Jim this year.”

The pair — who first sparked romance speculation in July while vacationing in Mallorca, Spain — took their relationship public in November when they made their red carpet debut at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event. Before the glamorous outing, Jennifer confirmed the relationship on Instagram, posting a black-and-white photo of her arms wrapped around Jim and captioning it: “Happy birthday, my love. Cherished.”

While the romance feels fresh to the outside world, their connection has been building for months behind the scenes. “Jen really valued their friendship in the beginning of the year,” an insider previously told People. “When it all took a turn to something more romantic, she was cautious at first. Now, she’s excited that she just went for it.”

Jim — a hypnotherapist whom Jennifer described as “quite extraordinary” in an Elle interview — has been a grounding presence throughout her year. She explained that hypnotism is “one of the many things that he does,” adding, “He’s very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity.”

And while their relationship has a private side, friends say their bond is undeniable. “They do everything together, they are always together, and if they have to be away from each other, they are on the phone all the time. They are so hot and heavy, it’s crazy,” a source told Daily Mail in August.
