Jennifer Aniston marked the milestone 50th birthday of her partner, Jim Curtis.
On Sunday, November 2, the 56-year-old actress posted on Instagram a heartwarming picture embracing the wellness professional, accompanied by an affectionate message. The beloved star of Friends penned, “Happy birthday my love Chrished.”

This affectionate social media update from Aniston follows her recent open discussion regarding her long-standing fertility challenges. During an appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, she disclosed that adoption was never a path she wished to pursue. “I want my own DNA in a little person,” the actress shared with Shepard, 50. “That’s the only way, selfish or not, whatever that is, I’ve wanted it.”
Aniston made her relationship with Curtis Instagram official in September. In a series of cheerful images chronicling a summer enjoyed, she subtly featured a shot of the back of Curtis’ head, admiring the sunset over a beach.
Followers swiftly picked up on the discreet inclusion of Curtis, who was a friend to Aniston before their bond blossomed into romance, noting it in the post’s comments. “You think we wouldn’t notice photo number 17?,” one admirer queried.
Us Weekly first broke the news in July, exclusively reporting that Aniston and Curtis had started a romance after being introduced by shared acquaintances. A source revealed to Us then, “They are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together. They are happy and really into each other.”
The couple's initial public sighting occurred during the 4th of July weekend in Mallorca, where they were photographed on a yacht excursion with friends, among them Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka. Speculation arose after one photograph depicted Curtis affectionately rubbing Aniston’s shoulders, and another captured her hand resting on his thigh.
A month thereafter, the pair were observed enjoying a double date with Aniston’s long-standing friend Courteney Cox and her partner, Johnny McDaid, in Malibu. Over the ensuing weeks and months, Curtis consistently showed his public support for his girlfriend at several prominent occasions, including an event for Aniston’s haircare line, LolaVie, in Los Angeles.
Curtis was also present at the New York City premiere for the fourth season of Aniston’s television series, The Morning Show. Although he did not walk the red carpet alongside her, video footage from People on September 9 showed Curtis engaged in conversation with another attendee inside the venue.
The July source from Us asserted that their relationship “feels like a healthy, grown-up relationship [and] her friends think he’s brilliant.”
