As Jennifer Aniston basks in the glow of her new romance with hypnotherapist and wellness expert Jim Curtis, concerns are mounting among her inner circle. Insiders claim the Friends star is subtly shifting her glamorous Hollywood lifestyle to align with Curtis’s more grounded, serene world—raising fears she’s repeating past relationship patterns.
The 56-year-old actress and the 50-year-old Curtis transitioned from friendship to romance earlier this year, sparking headlines with their Mallorca yacht getaway in the summer. They went Instagram official in November and made a stunning red carpet debut at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event. Sources tell PEOPLE that Aniston is “truly in love” with Curtis, with the couple planning a romantic Christmas—starting with a snowy escape and ending in sunny New Year’s vibes.
But not everyone is celebrating. According to reports from RadarOnline and Star Magazine, close friends like Courteney Cox are “panicking.” Aniston is reportedly house-hunting in New York—Curtis’s home base—despite long declaring California her true home. “Jen has said her biggest relationship mistake was changing herself to fit a man’s world,” one insider revealed. She previously tried NYC living during her marriage to Justin Theroux (2015-2018) but was unhappy, leading to their split.
The lifestyle clash is stark: Aniston thrives in her $21 million Bel Air mansion, surrounded by assistants, red carpets, and A-list luxury. Curtis, focused on trauma healing, leads a simpler life with “real-world” friends outside the spotlight. A source told Star: “For this to last, Jen has to be the one to adapt—and she knows it.” Curtis reportedly doesn’t want to be just high-profile “arm candy,” potentially causing Aniston a “culture shock.”
Still, Aniston seems happier than she has in years. She’s called Curtis “very special, very normal, and very kind,” crediting him with bringing peace. Engagement rumors are swirling as their first holiday season approaches. Friends hope she’s not sacrificing too much, but love appears to be winning out.
Is Jennifer Aniston truly “changing herself” for Jim Curtis, or is this just natural compromise? Fans are watching closely to see what path the ultimate California girl takes next.
