Jennifer Aniston is reportedly considering a major life change: relocating from her beloved California home to New York City to be closer to her boyfriend, hypnotherapist and wellness expert Jim Curtis. Sources close to the star say she’s already begun house-hunting in the Big Apple, sparking concern among friends who fear she’s prioritizing his needs over her own.
The 56-year-old *Friends* legend and *The Morning Show* actress has been dating the 50-year-old Curtis since summer 2025. Their romance heated up quickly — from a yacht getaway in Mallorca to going Instagram official in November with a sweet birthday post. They’ve since made their red carpet debut at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event and spent Thanksgiving together in NYC.
Insiders reveal Aniston is eyeing luxurious properties in Manhattan or Tribeca, areas pet-friendly for her dogs and convenient for Curtis, who is based in New York. High-end penthouses with stunning views are said to be on her radar.
But not everyone’s thrilled. Friends, including Courteney Cox, are reportedly “panicking,” according to exclusive reports from RadarOnline. One source said: “Jen has said for years that her biggest mistake in relationships has been trying to change herself to fit what the man wants.” They worry this echoes her past with ex-husband Justin Theroux (2015-2018), when she briefly tried living in NYC but found it unhappy. “New York is good for a quick visit, but she’s happiest in California,” the insider added.
Aniston has deep roots on the West Coast: her iconic $21 million mid-century Bel Air mansion and a Montecito farmhouse bought from Oprah Winfrey. She’s poured time and money into these sanctuaries, making the potential cross-country move feel “sudden” and “out of character.”
Despite the concerns, Aniston appears blissfully happy. She’s praised Curtis as “very special, very normal, and very kind,” crediting his work in healing trauma. With holiday plans including a snowy getaway and engagement rumors swirling, some wonder if a ring could seal the deal.
Could love convince the ultimate California girl to embrace the hustle of NYC? Fans are buzzing — and her inner circle is holding their breath.
