Jennifer Aniston's new man sparks concern as he's seen hobbling on a date with her A-list pals
Jennifer Aniston 's new hypnotist hunk boyfriend Jim Curtis was seen with cane in hand as he limped on date with the A-lister. The 49-year-old guru was seen hobbling as he arrived for a night on the town in the West Village neighborhood of New York City with his 56-year-old ladylove on Monday. The two - who revealed their romance last month - enjoyed a double date with Jennifer's close pal Jason Bateman, 56, and his longtime wife Amanda Anka, also 56, for their second public outing together. Jim - who has been open about his struggle with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and past fight with severe nerve pain - looked visibly strained as he used a cane while gingerly walking into the hotel after a three-hour dinner. No doubt the two still want to keep their relationship under wraps as they left through different doors in the hotel despite using the same car. The former star of Friends looked stylish for the night out as she sported a white maxi dress with sandals. Jennifer - who was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 until 2005, and then Theroux from 2011 until 2017 - sparked romance rumors after she was spotted with the life coach on vacation in Mallorca, Spain, during Fourth of July weekend. 'She's dating Jim and is very happy, but she's still taking things slowly,' a source previously told They adding that Jen 'feels very connected to Jim, as they have the same level of emotional intelligence, unlike some of her previous suitors.' Before that Aniston appeared to be dropping hints about the new man in her life. On July 14, she took to Instagram Stories with a pair of cryptic posts that had fans reading between the lines. First, the Friends alum reposted a tweet that read: 'The Friends theme song was right, no one told us life was gonna be this way' - seemingly referencing an unexpected new chapter in her life. Then came the real eyebrow-raiser: a quote from 'mindfulness expert' Case Kenny that read, 'People who still radiate love in a world that has shown them its darkest sides, please never change.' Fans immediately began theorizing that the message was about Curtis, who's known for his uplifting, love-centric philosophy. The 49-year-old guru was seen hobbling as he arrived for a night on the town in the West Village neighborhood of New York City with his ladylove on Monday No doubt the two still want to keep their relationship under wraps as they left through different doors in the hotel despite using the same car The former star of Friends looked stylish for the night out as she sported a white maxi dress with sandals Curtis regularly posts inspirational quotes and 'manifestations' to help people 'break free from their past and patterns' to find love - and Aniston has been following him on the social media platform for almost two years. Meanwhile, Jen's Instagram clues came hot on the heels of Curtis expressing how meaningful their Mallorca getaway had been. 'I am back from vacation and what an experience!' he wrote in his newsletter, according to Page Six. 'When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain I never thought I would have the abundance, joy and love I now experience on a daily basis. 'I just took one step, made one decision and the next followed — now I look back and realize, oh! That course, that life change, that pain, resulted in this magic.' Jim added: 'The same life that brings struggle also brings opportunity. The possibility of something better — more aligned, more free, more meaningful — is always here.' Curtis has had his own share of life-changing challenges. Beginning in the summer of 1995, right after his freshman year at the University of New Hampshire, when he was hit with severe nerve pain that would stay with him for years. An MRI later revealed lesions on his spinal cord, a diagnosis that pushed Curtis to pivot from his 'frat guy athlete' persona and explore a different path focused on healing and personal transformation. He credits a university professor for setting that new course into motion. 'He taught me to meditate and introduced me to the idea of mindfulness: focusing on just being present,' Curtis shared in a 2017 interview. Curtis was previously married to Rachel Napolitano, though their relationship reportedly ended not long after she gave birth to their son, Aidan, who is now a teenager. Aniston, of course, has had her own romantic history in the spotlight. She was famously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 before their headline-making split when Pitt began a relationship with Angelina Jolie while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith. She later tied the knot with actor and writer Justin Theroux in 2015, but the marriage ended in divorce three years later. In a 2022 interview, Aniston opened up for the first time about her private struggle to have children — and the emotional toll it took. 'It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,' she admitted. 'All the years and years and years of speculation... It was really hard. 'I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it,' she added. ' 'I would've given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.' You just don't think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.'

Duchess of York tried to date Tiger Woods, new book claims
The Duchess of York pursued Tiger Woods romantically, a new book has claimed. The book, called Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, claims the ex-wife of the Duke of York confided to her friend Piers Morgan that she found the pro golfer 'gorgeous' and flew 1,500 miles to meet him. In extracts serialised in the Daily Mail, Andrew Lownie, the author, claims that the Duchess had a list of men whom she was keen to be romantically involved with after separating from Prince Andrew, including the late son of John F Kennedy, the former US president. Lownie writes: 'On a trip to New York, Fergie asked her staff to find out if John F Kennedy Jnr … was in town and, discovering where he was, she invited him for drinks or dinner at her hotel, which he accepted.' While the meeting with 'America's prince' never took place, the Duchess did meet Woods and has since maintained a friendship with him. The Duchess was pictured hugging Woods in 1997 following his win at the Byron Nelson tournament in Texas, one of his early PGA Tour victories, and more recently publicly congratulated him on his 2019 Masters victory. 'Never have I been more proud,' she wrote about the golfer on Instagram, adding: 'Good days and bad days, Tigers' heart is loyal, steadfast and he is an amazing friend.' The new book, which promised 'extraordinary revelations' about Prince Andrew and the Duchess, claims she told Morgan that she would 'follow him around the [golf] course for a bit and see how I get on'. The broadcaster reportedly suggested that the athlete might not have the 'schedule for dating royals', concluding: 'Poor old Tiger isn't going to know what's hit him.' Lownie suggests in the book that the Duchess 'plagued' Kevin Costner, the American actor, with 'raunchy phone calls' and was interested in George Clooney at one point. The Duchess, who has remained close to her former husband and shares a home with him in Windsor Great Park, was subject to a series of tabloid stings after her separation from the Duke in 1992. The most infamous incident included a photograph surfacing of the Duchess sunbathing topless while having her toes sucked by her financial adviser in St Tropez. It was an image that at the time was credited for her ejection from the 'Firm'. Penny Junor, the royal biographer, said of the event: 'She was at Balmoral when those photographs came out. The family came down for breakfast and there was Fergie in this shocking scene and that was the end.' The Duke and Duchess were pictured driving together in Windsor near their 30-room property Royal Lodge over the weekend amid the fallout from the headlines generated by Lownie's book. Elsewhere, Lownie claimed the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of York got into a heated argument in which 'punches were thrown' in 2013, an allegation that Prince Harry has denied. 'He's mine!' The book also alleged that Diana, Princess of Wales, the Duchess's sister-in-law, met John F Kennedy Jnr to discuss potentially doing business together. Their encounter was in New York City's Carlyle Hotel in 1995, according to a former executive assistant to the scion of American political royalty. It is claimed Kennedy asked the late Princess to pose for the cover of George, his political magazine. Diana agreed to hear him out after he sent her a letter and they ended up meeting for half an hour, though she did not pose. Lownie writes of the Duchess discovering the meeting between Kennedy and the Princess: 'The Duchess was not to be discouraged, especially after learning that Princess Diana had met Kennedy for 30 minutes at Christmas 1995 at a New York hotel. She was furious: 'He's mine! Why can't she just leave him alone?'
