Jennifer Aniston might be manifesting love again: Is hypnotist Jim Curtis her new beau?
Jennifer Aniston might just be swapping solo sunsets for something a little more couple-coded. The Friends icon was recently spotted vacationing in Mallorca, Spain, with none other than hypnotist and wellness coach Jim Curtis, setting the internet ablaze with dating rumours. Add in yacht parties, beachy fits, and her besties Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka in tow, and it is giving all the signs of a soft-launch situationship. Who Is Jim Curtis and why is Jennifer Aniston so into his vibe? Jim Curtis is not just your average vacation companion. The dude has over half a million Instagram followers and sells manifestation mantras like hotcakes. His whole brand? Healing your inner wounds, ditching old trauma, and calling in aligned love. Coincidence? Fans think not—especially since Jen has liked several of his deeply emotional affirmation reels. In one now-viral video, Curtis preaches, 'I trust that love can be kind, consistent and true', aimed at those healing from heartbreak. Jen's double tap did not go unnoticed. Instagram clues and quantum book drops The evidence trail does not stop at vacation pics. In May, eagle-eyed fans noticed Jen dropped Curtis' book, Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide, in her casual Insta photo dump, casual being the key word here. Coincidence or soft promo for her new man's work? She also follows him on Instagram, which, in 2025 terms, is like meeting the parents. While Jen's reps have not said a word (classic), the internet is doing enough talking for everyone. Curtis' affirmations about being 'seen, loved and chosen' now read like a direct script to Jen's post-divorce heart. Could this be Jen's post-Theroux glow-up era in full swing? If manifestation works, it looks like she is finally calling in the kind, consistent and conscious king she deserves.
