Jennifer Aniston, Jim Curtis Join Jason Bateman, Amanda Anka For Cozy NYC Double Date
Jennifer Aniston and new boyfriend Jim Curtis were spotted on a double date with Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka in NYC, days after their Mallorca getaway. Jennifer Aniston appears to be embracing her new romance with hypnotherapist and life coach Jim Curtis, as the pair were seen enjoying a cozy dinner outing in New York City on Monday, August 4. According to People, the couple joined Aniston's longtime friend and Ozark star Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka for a three-hour dinner in the West Village. Aniston, 56, looked effortlessly elegant in a flowing white sundress and sandals, while Curtis, 49, kept it casual in white jeans and a blue shirt. Curtis, who has openly spoken about his past struggles with IBS and nerve pain, was seen walking with the help of a cane. New : Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis❤️❤️ — CarolAniston (@jenanistoworld) August 5, 2025 Though they exited the restaurant in the same car, the couple reportedly entered their hotel through separate doors, continuing to keep their relationship relatively low-profile. The NYC outing follows their romantic Fourth of July weekend getaway to Mallorca, Spain, where the duo was spotted hugging on a yacht, according to Daily Mail. People reports that Aniston and Curtis have been dating for a few months, after meeting through mutual friends. The Friends star was reportedly familiar with Curtis' work before they met in person — she had read his self-help book and followed him on social media for nearly two years. An insider told the publication that Jim is 'different" from Aniston's past partners and that the two share a 'deep emotional intelligence." Curtis, a motivational speaker and published author, focuses on helping people 'break free from their past patterns" and live with purpose, according to Daily Mail. His own personal health journey including a serious nerve condition diagnosed in 1995 — led him to explore hypnotherapy and mindfulness, eventually shaping his career in wellness. Aniston has not publicly dated anyone since her 2018 breakup with actor Justin Theroux. She was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and to Theroux from 2015 until their separation. In 2022, Aniston opened up about her private struggles with IVF, saying she had 'zero regrets" despite not having children.

Rahul Dholakia Recalls Shooting Raees With SRK While His Mom Was In ICU: 'It Was A Nightmare'
The Raees director also discussed the emotional toll he experienced during the shoot of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer. Filmmaker Rahul Dholakia, best known for Raees, Parzania and Lamhaa, recently opened up about the physical and emotional toll that directing a film can take. In a candid conversation with The Times of India, Dholakia revealed he suffered major health setbacks — including diabetes, high blood pressure and even a heart attack — while working on different films. Reflecting on the intensity of the filmmaking process, Dholakia admitted that it often comes at the cost of one's mental and physical well-being. 'I've had diabetes after one film, blood pressure after another, and a heart attack after one more," he shared. The Raees director also discussed the emotional toll he experienced during the shoot of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer. He revealed that during the first schedule of Raees, his mother was in the ICU, and he was dealing with chronic pain himself. Despite the personal turmoil, he couldn't afford to step away from the set. 'My mom was in the ICU, I was suffering from chronic pain… but I couldn't take off. SRK was on set, and I had to shoot," Dholakia recalled. 'I would stay with my mom at the hospital at night, then come to set and pretend everything was normal. It was a nightmare but you can't bring your problems on set." Dholakia also pointed out how discussing mental health is still considered taboo in the film industry. 'Our industry is such a performance-driven industry that people are afraid to say they're not well. There's always a fear of being dropped. No one wants to look weak," he said. He urged others in the industry to prioritise their mental health and seek help when needed. 'That's a big problem — it's always do or die. Your life is yours. Don't let anyone take it away from you. If you feel low, don't feel shy to take help — you have to look after yourself." First Published: August 06, 2025, 03:26 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
