Jennifer Aniston is feeling zen these days, thanks to her new romance with Jim Curtis.
It’s Curtis’s work as a wellness coach and hypnotherapist that seems to be making a difference in the 56-year-old actress’ life. Instead of bringing chaos, the 49-year-old author is redirecting the energy in her big Hollywood life.
“Jim has really brought a sense of calm into Jen’s life. His big focus is mindfulness, and he’s really helping Jen go more in that direction,” a source told Star Magazine. “As successful as she is, Jen has always been very hard on herself, and that’s something they’re working on.”

Aniston’s life has been on high speed ever since Friends became a pop-culture juggernaut in 1994. Her personal life became fodder for the tabloids when she met and married Brad Pitt — and then unwillingly fell into the love triangle of her generation with Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Her life was no longer her own.

The Morning Show star made a rare comment about that awful time in an early August interview with Vanity Fair. “If they didn’t have their soap operas, they had their tabloids,” she said. “It’s a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally.”
That’s where Curtis’ skills make a difference in their relationship — and her inner circle is raving about him.
“He’s amazing to be around,” an insider told People recently. “He has this really calm and secure energy. Jen loves it.” Aniston is “so used to going 100 miles an hour while balancing projects, but Curtis is the person in her life who “supports her in a way that feels new.” He’s not an actor like Pitt or her second husband, Justin Theroux, so Curtis is letting her shine in the spotlight while teaching her to relax away from the cameras.
While there’s no telling where this relationship will go, it’s obviously giving Aniston the opportunity to slow down and soak in all that she’s accomplished in her successful career. Plus, this newfound sense of calm offers her more time for romance with Curtis— it’s a perfect combination of work-life balance.
