Jennifer Aniston Walks the Red Carpet With Boyfriend Jim Curtis for the First Time

At a Hollywood event known for spotlighting leading women, Jennifer Aniston's red carpet companion turned heads, drew mixed reactions, and quietly confirmed months of fan speculation.

"Friends" icon Jennifer Aniston made her bombshell couple debut with Jim Curtis at ELLE's 2025 Women in Hollywood Celebration. The event took place on Monday, November 17, 2025, in Los Angeles, California.

Aniston, dressed in Ralph Lauren, posed alongside Curtis, who also wore the designer. They were joined by Aniston's longtime friends Kristin Hahn, Amanda Anka, and Andrea Bendewald.

Red Carpet Confirmed What Whispers Couldn't

Although fans have speculated for months about their relationship, this was the first time the couple attended a high-profile event together — publicly confirming they are in a relationship.

One of the evening's most memorable moments came during Adam Sandler's presentation to Aniston. Reflecting on their decades-long friendship, he said, "I've only seen her angry like two and a half times in the 40 years I've hung out with her," before shifting his attention to Curtis.

"Me and Jackie are so happy that you and Jim found each other and are having the love affair you two deserve. We love you, Jim, the whole world loves you, Jim," he added, earning laughter and applause from the crowd.

The annual event also recognized other stars. But it was Aniston and Curtis who dominated the headlines the next day. Their appearance marked a milestone — but what followed online was something else entirely.

Social Media Explodes with Fan Reactions

On Instagram, fans were quick to weigh in on the couple's red carpet debut. One person praised the pair, "Wow, they look great together!" Another echoed the sentiment with, "They look similar!! Both beautiful."

But others weren't so sure. A third remarked bluntly, "I just don't know what it is... I think he's handsome but then on the other side he looks like a serial killer. Maybe the eyes? 😬"

Some viewers were simply confused. One said, "They look like each other 😍." Another asked, "Siblings?? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂" while a different comment pointed out, "They have the same jaw." Another admitted, "I don't like him for some reason — I get the ick feeling from him."

A more cautious fan offered, "I don't see kindness in his eyes... I hope she finds happiness. She deserved it." And another, reflecting on the couple's body language, noted, "They somehow look very uncomfortable to me... the vibes! I wish them all the best though..."

Just days earlier, Aniston appeared in a high-profile magazine feature and opened up — briefly — about Curtis in her own words.

The 56-year-old actress graced the cover of Elle's Women in Hollywood issue with a look that was anything but subtle — and some are saying it's her most provocative moment yet.

Aniston Bares All (Well, Almost) in Dazzling $3,300 Briefs

Jennifer Aniston appeared in the shoot wearing only a long-sleeved gray Miu Miu top and embroidered duchesse briefs, worth a jaw-dropping $3,300. The glittering underwear from the high-end Italian label clung to her like a second skin — a look fans either hailed as fearless or flinched at in disbelief.

Another photo in the editorial showed Aniston mid-motion — slipping on a coat while rocking a swimsuit and oversized sunglasses, exuding the ease of a woman who's done this a thousand times, yet still stuns like it's her first.

For the official cover, stylist George Cortina dressed Aniston in a crisp Ralph Lauren white shirt and blue jeans, but the classic combo was given a Southwestern twist. Decked out in vintage silver and turquoise jewelry from designer Vicki Turbeville — including an eye-catching belt buckle and matching cuffs — the actress looked like a sun-kissed desert queen.

And of course, her famous tousled waves were courtesy of none other than longtime hair guru Chris McMillan, who's been behind her iconic looks since "The Rachel."

Fans Sound Off: 'The Leg Pose, Really?'

As the photos flooded social media, reactions came just as fast — and they weren't all glowing. While some were left breathless, others were baffled by the sultry tone of the shoot.

On Facebook, people didn't hold back. One person wrote, "Beautiful but the leg pose, really [sic]?" Another added, "I love her but very odd pose on the bath tub [sic]." A third stated, "The provocative shot was not needed."

Instagram brought a more adoring crowd — but questions still lingered. "SHE IS BREATHTAKING 😍😍," posted one netizen. Meanwhile, another commented, "50 don't look like it used to [sic]!"

A third shared appreciation for the styling, saying, "I loved the jewelry from Navajo Nation indigenous people 🩵." One comment praised her appearance, reading, "Finally! She looks more lije herself! So happy she has corrected whatever she got done before. This time they git it right! She looks amazing 👏👏👏🔥[sic]." Another follower asked, "Need to know if legs have self tanner or real tan [sic]."

'He's Quite Extraordinary': Aniston Opens up About Her Hypnotist Beau

While the fashion alone could’ve carried the story, Aniston gave fans another reason to buzz: a rare and tender acknowledgment of her partner, Jim Curtis — a transformational coach and hypnotist who has recently drawn his own following.

"Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does," Aniston told Elle. "He's quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people. He's very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It's a beautiful thing to commit your life to."

While her Elle feature gave fans a rare look inside her world — from daring fashion to a glowing tribute to her healer-turned-partner — it wasn't the first time she'd pulled back the curtain on her private life.

Just weeks earlier, Jennifer Aniston went Instagram official with Curtis on Sunday, November 2, sharing a heartfelt birthday tribute to him.

In the rare picture, Aniston could be seen wrapping her arms around her partner from behind as the two smiled warmly, their hands clasped together. The post delighted fans who were thrilled to see the actress open up about her relationship, with many heading to the comments to express their excitement.

One fan could barely contain their excitement, writing, "Perfect for each other! ❤️" Another shared their joy over the couple's appearance, "You guys look so happy❤️Happy Birthday." Someone else asked curiously, "Engagement ring there?"

The excitement only grew as one fan exploded with emotion, penning, "OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG😍😍😍😍 FINALLY!!!!!! We have been waiting for this moment for a long time!!! 😫😫❤️" Others took a more sentimental tone, with one reflecting, "When you find the right one… ❤️."

A supporter couldn't help but praise Aniston, "You are GLOWING! you go girl, you have us cheering for you forever n always 🤍 [sic]." Someone else added a playful comparison, "Way cuter than either husband!!good for you Jennifer! [sic]"

Not everyone was entirely convinced, though, as one person quipped, "Let's hope this one sticks." Some followers seemed skeptical about the photo's authenticity, with one remarking, "The hands always gives [sic] away a photoshop 😂," while another person noted, "AI- look at the hands...haha." More people chimed in with a similar observation, "Looks like AI, or she has to [sic] many fingers 👉."

Despite a few negative remarks, Aniston appeared to be fully embracing her happiness. She captioned the post, which has already earned over 700,000 likes, "Happy birthday my love Cherished ❤️," a simple yet heartfelt message that reflected her joy.

The couple first ignited dating rumors in July this year, and Aniston has now confirmed they're officially together. Here's a look at their relationship journey so far — told through photos that capture each milestone.
