Jennifer Aniston teases hot new romance with hunky guru in cryptic post about 'radiating love'
After DailyMail.com exclusively revealed the Friends icon, 56, spent the Fourth of July weekend with Curtis, the pair were seen looking every bit the couple in exclusive photos from the Mallorca yacht escape.
In one snap, Aniston rested her hand on Curtis' thigh while chatting with friends, and in another, he gently stroked her hair as they lounged on deck — the pair appeared unable to keep their hands off each other.
'She's dating Jim and is very happy, but she's still taking things slowly,' a source previously told DailyMail.com, adding that Jen — whose exes include Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux — 'feels very connected to Jim, as they have the same level of emotional intelligence, unlike some of her previous suitors.'
And now, Aniston appears to be dropping hints about the new man in her life.
On Monday, 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.
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.'
Still, Aniston noted: 'I have zero regrets.'
As for Theroux, 53, he recently tied the knot again — this time in a secret ceremony with 30-year-old actress Nicole Brydon Bloom.
Sources say the news came as a surprise to Aniston, but she didn't hesitate to extend her well wishes.
'Jennifer was one of the first to congratulate Justin on getting married,' a source told DailyMail in March. '
'Yes, it took her by surprise, but they have maintained a close friendship, and she is happy for him that he has found true love.'
The insider added that while Jen is genuinely supportive of her ex's new chapter, there was a tinge of bittersweetness — especially given the age gap between Theroux and his new wife.

Secrets of Brad Pitt's 'facelift' shared by top plastic surgeons
With Brad Pitt's F1 movie thrilling fans, talk of his youthful looks have taken pole position. One person boldly to social media to declare: 'Brad Pitt got a facelift,' while a second added: 'The surgeon who did [his] facelift should be the richest person on Earth.' has spoken to three plastic surgeons to uncover the procedures the actor may have received. Despite the suggestions, each said he likely did not receive a facelift, saying they couldn't see the typical giveaway signs of taut skin, squinting eyes, and scars around the ear. Instead, they suggested it was much more likely that he had received fat transfers or fillers into the mid-face to boost volume and make him appear younger. Dr Michael Bassiri-Tehrani, a facial plastic surgeon in New York City, said: 'This is a subtle touch-up procedure that tends to be more desirable, especially if you are in the public eye. 'This is because it means... a less drastic change in your appearance, which is important, especially for someone who is in movies and whose face is their identity and their brand.' Brad first debuted his incredibly youthful new looks in September last year, which again sparked speculation from fans about a potential facelift. Sources close to the star denied rumors that he had had a facelift, or received any other procedures to The plastic surgeons did not treat or get the chance to examine Brad in person, and instead based their comments on photos and videos of the star online. Dr Barry Weintraub, a top facelift surgeon in New York City who examined two pictures of the star, said: 'Looking straight at these images, it is clear that he is handsome as hell. 'But I do also notice that in the later photo his face is fuller, and that would either be from fat transfers or a variety of fillers that were used. 'It could also be simply because he gained weight, because that can also lead to more fullness appearing in the face.' He added: 'As you get older, you start to lose volume in your own face... so placing volume back into it is a great way to add youth, and I think that is what was done here.' Surgeons said he'd likely received the filler or fat transfers into the cheeks and jawline to add volume to these areas. They said that overall it was more likely this was fat, typically taken from the abdomen or thighs, because this is longer lasting and can trigger a more natural result. Many celebrities also opt for blepharoplasties, a procedure to remove skin above the eyes to make someone appear more youthful. But all three surgeons said Brad had avoided this. Dr Gary Linkov, a plastic surgeon also in New York City, said: 'I still don't see great proof that he's had a facelift. His hairline area looks ok to me, and I don't see any clear evidence for me. 'But it is possible that he might have had a fat transfer or filler to the mid-face. 'I mentioned a few years ago that he may have had that procedure, so it's definitely possible that he did something like that again.' Dr Adam Scheiner, a cosmetic surgeon in Florida and author of 2017 book The True Definition Of Beauty, said Brad may appear so youthful because of how someone views a person's face. 'When we look at a person's face, our brains focus on the eye and mouth region first and the skin and facial contours area second. 'So it tends to be much more dramatic when someone has the eyes or mouth worked on, whereas if it's on other areas it tends to be much more subtle - like the work we see here.' Brad has not commented on any recent work he may have, but he has repeatedly spoken about aging - saying after he turned 60 years old that he was starting to feel his own mortality. Surgeons have previously suggested that Brad has been receiving fillers and Botox during the years to maintain his youthful appearance but this has never been confirmed. Surgeons suggested too that Brad may be maintaining his skin using moisturizers, micro-needling, and other procedures.

Smart, sharp and nonstop dance: how Twyla Tharp is bossing the Venice Dance Biennale in her 80s
'Do you know how much I could deadlift in my 50s? Guess!' Twyla Tharp implored Wayne McGregor, in a post-show interview at the Venice Dance Biennale. McGregor, the festival's artistic director, didn't dare venture a figure. 'Two-hundred and twenty-seven pounds!' she told us all, delightedly. Never underestimate Twyla. The slight, white-haired 84-year-old is as sharp as ever, and a force in the dance world. She's been choreographing for 60 years, for ballet companies and Broadway, dance both experimental and accessible, art and pop. And she is honoured this year with the biennale's Golden Lion for lifetime achievement. Tharp is a smart, no-nonsense woman with a dry sense of humour, and her work is much the same. Only two pieces from her vast repertoire are staged in Venice this year, but one especially, Diabelli (from 1998), set to Beethoven's 33 Diabelli Variations, has the same precise, self-certain manner as the woman herself. It takes one idea – the rigorous exploration of music and form – and drills into it determinedly. The dance is non-stop, a showcase for the tremendous dancers of her company, all quite different bodies but brilliant technicians, rooted in classicism with Tharp's easy synthesis of jazz, contemporary and vernacular dance forms. It is absolutely chock-full of steps. That might seem obvious, but a lot of contemporary dance now hinges on vibe, mood and repetitive riffs, whereas Tharp is just step after step, finely and deliberately wrought phrases in constant motion with absolute clarity. With its fairly unwavering tone, from the audience there's perhaps not as much light and shade as Tharp herself sees – but she has no time for dawdling (there's a similarity with McGregor's own work here: the constant fast-paced flying mind, expecting you to keep up). The second piece is the European premiere of Slacktide, set to Philip Glass. It's new, but interestingly, uses material from Tharp's back catalogue, reversioned. Compared with Diabelli, the look is certainly more 'now', diffused light, dancers in black shorts and vests, and rather than the front-facing performance mode of the earlier work, the dancers are on their own trajectories, moving between solos and groups. It has a greater sense of freedom, dynamic and edge, but the same very serious conversation with choreography. The winner of the Silver Lion, for an outstanding upcoming choreographer, was the Brazilian Carolina Bianchi. Bianchi has the same absolute commitment to her art as Tharp, but is a completely different proposition. She's best known for the first part of her Cadela Força trilogy, The Bride and the Goodnight Cinderella, in which Bianchi takes a date rape drug live on stage and then attempts to continue the show while the audience watch its effects take over, made in response to her own experience of sexual assault. The second chapter of the trilogy, The Brotherhood, gets its Italian premiere in Venice and it goes deeper (very much deeper, at almost four hours in length) into Bianchi's own attempts to process what happened to her: the injustice, the omnipresent patriarchy, the bewilderment over what gives men seeming licence to abuse women, from the rape of Lucretia to Gisèle Pelicot. She does this through film, performance, a faux interview with a famous theatre director, set-pieces with the male performers from company Cara de Cavalo, and addressing the audience directly. She considers hazing initiations, the myth of the troubled genius in art, the politics of the rehearsal room, the subtle undermining of women in professional life. There's so much here, a bit of editing wouldn't go amiss (although it doesn't feel like 220 minutes) but then this is the ever-circling mind after trauma, always returning to the wound, never finding the answer. Fearless Bianchi is sometimes provocatively shocking, she is also constantly questioning herself, getting in her criticisms before anyone else can. Her subjects are theatre, art, violence and anger. And the real question may be, why aren't we all angrier, all the time, about how commonplace this abuse is? Bianchi introduces herself on stage as predominantly a writer, and this is a text-based show within the realm of performance art, an interesting choice for a dance prize. But the body is absolutely at the centre of her work. Her central question, as she puts it, is what do we do with this body? How to live in a body that survives rape? Elsewhere at the biennale, the opening show comes from Australia's Chunky Move, a company established in 1995, now led by Antony Hamilton, who has choreographed U>N>I>T>E>D. The stage is dominated by a large mechanical contraption, a piece of rigging that holds what looks like a giant insect with flashing and glowing lights. The dancers have mechanical limbs too, multijointed insect-y legs attached to them, turning them into human-machine hybrid hexapods. It immediately brought to mind a piece McGregor made for his company in 2002, Nemesis, where the dancers wore mechanical limbs extending their arms. In fact the whole look is very millennium-bug-throwback, like a guerrilla army of hackers who've jumped the fence at Glastonbury, in baggy parachute pants with all sorts of straps and layers and clashing patterns and camo and reflective neon. It's a crusty-cyberpunk look – if you ever went near Brighton in the 1990s, you'd recognise it. Except that in the 90s we barely had mobile phones or email addresses and this kind of tech felt like pure sci-fi, whereas now, the idea of humans getting tech implants or machines becoming sentient is basically the world we live in. So that's unnerving. But what does Hamilton have to say about it? Not so much. The thing about all the cumbersome props is that they extend the body's possibilities, but also reduce their ability to move. There's a vague sense of struggle between embracing or fighting the machines but, just like in the real world, having the technology is one thing, deciding what to use it for, or what you want to say with it, is entirely another. It's neither stirringly hopeful nor apocalyptic enough to be terrifying. Twyla would have those mechanical critters for breakfast. The Venice Dance Biennale continues until 2 August

Footballers and their extravagant parties: Dwarf-tossing, dressing up as a Klansman and FIVE-DAY benders… how Lamine Yamal isn't the first star to land himself in trouble for wild celebrations
We all love a party. Whether it's your birthday, Christmas, anniversary, or even if you have just bought a new house and want all your neighbours to come around for a bash, it's not hard to find an excuse to paint the town red. Footballers are no different; they spend the majority of the season monitoring their nutrition, avoiding alcohol, and putting their feet up, in a bid to stay in the best possible shape for when they take to the pitch. However, even the biggest names in the game let their hair down on occasion, predominantly in the festive season, or during the measly three weeks of holiday they are given during the summer. The problem is, many footballers tend to take things too far. Lamine Yamal is the latest star to throw a bash that has landed him in trouble. The Barcelona and Spain star has been widely criticised for an 18th birthday celebratory bash which allegedly 'exploited dwarves' and featured women with 'specific breast measurements' who were claimed to have been 'paid to attend'. On Tuesday, new images of the individuals arriving at the private event were obtained and showed a group of five men with Achondroplasia as they appeared to be getting registered for the party. Another image shows a few women after passing through that checkpoint, as they appear to be headed to the main venue. Yamal's lavish 'mafia-themed' event, held on a private estate, was reportedly attended by around 200 people, with notable attendees including his Barcelona team-mates Robert Lewandowski, Alejandro Balde, and Gavi. The youngster is not the first, and will not be the last, footballer to hit the headlines for the wrong reasons when it comes to partying. Mail Sport takes a look at some of the wildest parties that players have thrown in years gone by. Neymar's 'five-day bender' Most football supporters would guess that Yamal's footballing idol would be Lionel Messi, for obvious reasons. But that's not the case, the now 18-year-old has always had a love for Neymar Jr. Based on the way he dances across the pitch, it makes a lot of sense. Yamal is a perfect blend of both Messi and Neymar. However, it seems that he has not only based his skills on the Brazilian, but also his love of partying. The pair met up in Neymar's homeland for what can only be described as the quietest part of Yamal's summer. A number of videos shared on social media showcased the Barcelona star enjoying life by a swimming pool at his hero's home in Mangaratiba, Rio de Janeiro. The duo can be seen playing volleyball in the clips, as well as swimming in the sunshine, but that is nothing compared to the shenanigans that Neymar has gotten up to in the past. Neymar will know exactly how Yamal feels after a wave of criticism, as in the winter of 2020, the Brazilian was subject to a probe after allegedly organising a five-day party in a resort near Rio de Janeiro for 500 revellers, while Covid-19 continued to rip through Brazil. Prosecutors contacted Neymar amid multiple reports in the Brazilian media that he had a disco built with acoustic protection for a bash that would start on Christmas Day and continue until the New Year. Eyewitnesses had claimed to have seen floods of guests making their way to the event, and many others leaving, with their host aiming to keep the party a secret, which clearly didn't work, by imposing a ban on all mobile phones for attending partygoers. Models, who had flown in for the event, had, however, shared photos minutes away from the mansion Neymar had allegedly rented for the party, with wristbands guaranteeing access over five days. Despite reports that Neymar had spent around £568,000 on the event, the forward denied any involvement. The eventual cancellation followed the party gaining national and international attention during the pandemic. The Brazilian was blasted by a human rights lawyer, who had tweeted at the time, 'The idiot trophy for the day goes to Neymar for his five-day party.' Liverpool's fancy dress controversy It's time to head back to the 1990s, which seemed to be the era where footballers really did some wacky things. Well, going by the story I am about to share, and many more. The Reds had many a reason to host a celebratory bash in the late 1980s and early 90s as they dominated English football, before their rivals, Manchester United, took over the mantle, and regularly threw extravagant parties. However, on one particular occasion, Reds legend John Barnes caused controversy with a fancy dress outfit. The once rapid and skillful winger, who notched up 199 goal contributions during 10 successful years at Anfield, was pictured at a party dressed up as a member of the Ku Klux Klan - an extremist white supremacist group. 'There was a fellow in a white outfit with a pointy hat who was John Barnes, (he was) the Ku Klux Klan,' Bruce Grobbelar once revealed to BT Sport, now known as TNT Sports. Is this not you on the left 🥱 @officialbarnesy — Blanco Freecss (@blanc0b0urne) January 23, 2020 After donning a Ku Klux Klan costume in the 90s, Barnes said he would 'do it again' back in 2020 Barnes has been criticised in years gone by for his outfit choice, but as recently as five years ago, he said he would don the outfit again. 'Absolutely and I'd do it again,' Barnes wrote on X in 2020. 'And go as Hitler to a fancy dress party. 'Fancy dress parties are there for you to make fun of people you go as and the kkk and Hitler are figures to be ridiculed so I see no problem in that... I wouldn't go as Kunta Kinte with chains on...' It has previously been suggested that Barnes' team-mate was on door duty for the party when a man in a white sheet approached, trying to get in. McMahon is believed to have uttered: 'You can't come in like that. John Barnes is in there,' before Barnes is said to have pulled off his hood and replied, 'No, he's in here.' Vinnie Jones' 'dwarf-tossing' In 1994, Vinnie Jones was put in charge of organising Chelsea's Christmas party. The footballer turned Hollywood actor has a reputation for being one of the sports tough guys, so you can imagine the parties he threw were rather wild. However, during a lock-in at a London pub with his ex-Chelsea team-mates, with Jones back playing for Wimbledon at the time, the Welshman opted to play a game that many would look down upon in the current era. 'The idea was to pick up a dwarf and hurl him as far as you could,' said striker Tony Cascarino. 'I had a go, but I can't remember how I did. They were heavier than I expected.' Celtic's trio of arrests We all know that staff Christmas parties end up in carnage. It's not only footballers that have stories which are hard to comprehend; I'm sure many of you reading this have some of your own, am I right? However, have you ever seen anybody get arrested at your work do? I'd like to guess that many of you have just thought of the word 'no', but knowing what they are like, I'm almost certain a handful of readers may have uttered 'yes'. If you happen to have been a member of the Celtic squad in the winter of 2002, and you have for some reason decided to click on this article and carry on reading in anticipation of what's about to come, you will have definitely done the latter. The Bhoys in Green partied hard 23 years ago, with their bash involving bikini-clad waitresses, mechanical bulls, nightclub bouncers, and three sets of handcuffs. The party took place south of the Scottish border in Newcastle, as the players hoped for some anonymity. However, they didn't get it, and when Joos Valgaeren, Johan Mjallby, and Bobby Petta spotted photographers trying to snap pictures of them, they saw red. The trio allegedly damaged cameras worth £12,000, which led to a night in the cells. Neil Lennon was also pictured being led away from the incident by police; however, he was later released without charge. Barton's cigar scandal Joey Barton was notorious for violence during a 15-year professional career, which started at Manchester City, the club he joined at just 15 years of age. On many occasions during his time at the club and beyond, incidents have boiled over, and on one night in 2004, that's exactly what happened. The City squad were all at a fancy dress party, where Barton was believed to be dressed as Jimmy Saville, and the players thought it would be fun to start setting each other's outfits on fire. 'We were on the booze all day Sunday morning, and I think Paul Bosvelt or [Robbie] Fowler started it. They were all in fancy dress in this bar and started setting each other's costumes alight,' Barton told the Anything Goes With James English podcast in 2023. 'So it was the seniors who started it, just burning the edge of it. In five or ten minutes, it went round the whole group, and then it stopped. 'I'd burned [Jamie] Tandy's costume. Someone had got me, and then I'd burned Tandy back - no malice in it. He didn't have the opportunity to get me back, everything gets calmed down, lighters are confiscated from everybody by the security.' However, things got out of hand between Barton and academy star Tandy, with the former stubbing a cigar in the eye of the then-teenager. 'So for some bizarre reason unknown to me this day, I thought it would be a fantastic idea as a payback to him to stump the cigar out on the back of his head,' Barton continued. 'That was the logic, makes no sense now, but at the time, a burn for a burn, he's getting this on the back of his head. 'As I've gone like that to stick it on the back of his head, he's naturally felt me coming and turned towards me, and it's managed to graze his eyelid. He's gone down.' Barton was fined six weeks' wages for the incident, and Tandy was left with permanent scarring to his eyelid. Spurs' sneaky Dublin trip Harry Redknapp is a man of principle, and while manager at Tottenham Hotspur, he trusted his players to be transparent with him. In 2009, the English coach once claimed that his players would 'never take the liberty' of going behind his back to organise a party. If they decided to go under his nose, there would be trouble. Well, sorry, Harry, it appears that you didn't know your players all that well, because that's exactly what they did; they went behind his back. Captain Robbie Keane informed Redknapp that he was planning on taking his team-mates to Dublin, so that they could all play some rounds of golf. However, that was not really his intention. What Keane actually did was lead 16 players on a pub crawl around the Irish capital, which is certainly not short of top-tier drinking holes. Robbie Keane went behind Redknapp's back and took his team-mates to Dublin, which led to an unhappy boss Once Redknapp had found out, he said: 'Wednesday was their day off and Robbie told me they were going to Dublin to play golf. I had no problem with that. I am not happy, and it will be dealt with, and dealt with severely. I was shocked when I heard about it. 'I don't see why parties should happen in today's football - they're more trouble than they're worth.' Every player involved in the night out was fined £20,000, and Spurs went on to lose their next home match to Wolves; the first time the West Midlands team had won in London in 33 years.
