In her rare December 2025/January 2026 ELLE interview (tied to the Women in Hollywood honors), **Jennifer Aniston** offered a subtle but meaningful shift in how she views commitment and love — praising her boyfriend **Jim Curtis** in ways that hint at a warmer, more appreciative outlook after years of guarded independence.
The 56-year-old actress described Curtis as “**quite extraordinary**,” noting that “**hypnotism is one of the many things that he does**.” She went on: “**He’s quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people. He’s very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It’s a beautiful thing to commit your life to.**” The phrase “commit your life to” stood out to fans and insiders, suggesting a fresh respect for deep, purposeful partnership — especially from someone who once said she had “no interest” in remarrying and emphasized not sacrificing her identity for a relationship.
This comes after her two high-profile divorces (from Brad Pitt in 2005 and Justin Theroux in 2018), where she focused on self-acceptance and independence. Sources tell People (as of January 5–6, 2026) that Aniston is “**very happy and comfortable**” with Curtis, who makes her “**everyday life better**” and helps her feel “**very safe**.” Insiders describe the bond as “**different**” and “**kismet**,” with Aniston “**truly loving**” him. While marriage isn’t a priority — she’s “**loving this phase**” — reports indicate she’s no longer categorically ruling it out, marking an evolution from past statements like “Never say never, but I don’t have any interest” in 2023.
Here are recent glimpses of the couple looking connected and content in early 2026:
The couple celebrated their first Christmas together (with sweet photos of Curtis playing with a friend’s baby amid dogs and friends), rang in 2026 side-by-side, and continue blending lives seamlessly. Curtis’s New Year’s 2025 recap featured loving shots of Aniston, teasing “**a few surprises cooking**” for 2026 — adding quiet speculation about future steps.
Aniston’s fresh perspective reflects growth: after public heartbreaks and privacy, she’s embracing a supportive, grounding love that enhances rather than defines her. With her career thriving on *The Morning Show* and LolaVie, she’s content — and perhaps more open to commitment — on her own terms.
