Jennifer Aniston cozies up to hypnotherapist during luxury yacht getaway
Jennifer Aniston seems to have a new love interest. The "Friends" star, 56, was seen enjoying a day at sea with rumored new beau, Jim Curtis, while aboard a yacht off the coast of Mallorca, Spain. In a photo, Aniston is seen gently placing her hand on Curtis' hand, while he has his arm around her waist. The reported new couple were accompanied by actor Jason Bateman, wife Amanda Anka and Amy Schumer. "[Jen and Jim are] casually dating and having fun," an insider told People of the pair. "They've been seeing each other for a few months now," another source told the outlet. "They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends. Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work. She's really into self-help and wellness. They are dating, but it's still casual." "She's been happy on her own, but she's also open to sharing her life with someone. As long as it feels right," the source added. "Jen's in a very good place right now — grounded, fulfilled and very happy." Fox News Digital reached out to reps for Aniston for comment. Curtis, a life coach who specializes in hypnotherapy, is "very different from anyone she's dated before," the insider said. The "Friends" star was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018. According to Curtis' Instagram, the author's "mission is to help you heal and thrive by upgrading your I AM." In one video posted to Instagram in June, Curtis said that he has "been able to manifest the absolute life that I wanted from illness, from breakups from the places that are most painful." When Curtis was 22 years old, he found out he had lesions on his spinal cord, which led to years of chronic pain. He told Fast Company during an interview in 2018, "It was unknown how they started, but I very rapidly became ill and soon had trouble walking." He spoke to the outlet about hiding his illness from his co-workers while he worked on Wall Street, a job that Curtis said "couldn't have been a worse choice" with his condition. "I had to stand up in a crowd all day. It was super high-stress, which is inflammatory and devastating for a condition like mine. It increased symptoms of fatigue and pain, and it brought on new ones like IBS [irritable bowel syndrome] and other things I couldn't control." Curtis remains open about the impact his health has had on his life. "My own illness and disability forced me to confront the limited beliefs, disconnection and trauma that was keeping me sad, sick and alone," he wrote on his website. "My health journey has been my greatest teacher in developing a life of higher connection, purpose and love. Through many powerful tools including hypno-realization - I not only transformed my physical health, depression and relationships, I've helped thousands of others break free to create an entirely new reality full of connection, community and love."

A Cleveland Browns Scion's 6-Story Manhattan Townhouse Lists for $20 Million
Almost four years ago, James Haslam doled out $12.5 million for a historic townhouse in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. The filmmaker and co-owner of the David Armstrong Archive subsequently enlisted the services of friend and interior designer Amy Kolker of Jane Street Projects, and together they embarked upon an extensive renovation of the formerly white-walled residence that was recently featured in Architectural Digest. Halsam, whose parents, Jimmy and Dee Haslam of Haslam Sports Group, co-own the NFL's Cleveland Browns and the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks, has now decided to put the strikingly transformed digs on the market for a speck under $20 million. Matthew Slosar and Justin Grabell of Douglas Elliman hold the listing.

Townhouse Can Be Yours for $13.5 Million When coming up with a design plan, Kolker and Haslam gleaned their inspiration from a set of very specific people and places—the modern steel-and-glass Maison de Verre residence in Paris dating to the 1930s; Austro-Hungarian architect Adolf Loos, known for his minimalist yet luxe spaces; filmmaker David Lynch and his penchant for stark surrealism; and Italian design master Lorenzo Mongiardino's poetic maximalism. The result? A conglomeration of plush, moody interiors that evoke an old-world ambience, set sometime between the 1930s and 1970s. Standing out in the five-bedroom, eight-bath spread, which clocks in at 22 feet wide and 7,500 square feet across six levels, is a double-height living room boasting terracotta pavers sealed in a glossy black epoxy, a wet bar, and floor-to-ceiling industrial windows trimmed in a deep red shade. Soft, sheer ivory curtains open to reveal a bamboo garden inspired by Halston's house on the Upper East Side. RELATED: Art Dealer Barbara Gladstone's Elegant Manhattan Row House Lists for $12 Million Other highlights include an office and a dining room/library, as well as an emerald-tiled kitchen outfitted with veined-marble countertops, custom brass sinks, and a high-end Wolf range. A dark navy lounge/media room next to the kitchen sports a wood-burning fireplace with a custom Italian marble surround and glass doors spilling out to an awning-topped balcony. Holding court by itself on the fifth floor is a posh primary suite flaunting a fireside sitting area, a large dressing room, and a luxe bath equipped with heated black limestone floors and a sky-lit walk-in shower. Two landscaped rooftop terraces have a sunroom lounge in the middle, while the basement holds a catering kitchen and a ton of storage space.

Carnival Liberty emerges from drydock with new and refreshed spaces
The Carnival Liberty has been renovated, returning to service with new features, including a WaterWorks aqua park with new slides, a revitalized spa and a Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge. The ship's spa, now branded as a Cloud 9 Spa, has a new steam room and sauna, refreshed décor, upgraded beauty stations and a modernized fitness center. The casino has a new layout and additional slot machines and table games. Besides the waterpark, young cruisers will find new gaming stations at Camp Ocean and a revamped arcade and Club O2. The Heroes Tribute Bar, which honors military personnel and their families, was introduced on the Carnival Panorama in 2019. Since then, Carnival has installed the bar on its new ships and has added it to several vessels during drydocks. The Carnival Liberty's new sauna.

The retail Fun Shops have been revamped with new displays, and a High Spirits liquor store is now onboard. The Liberty drydock also prioritized accessibility, Carnival said, with enhanced pathways throughout the ship. The Carnival Liberty sails weeklong cruises to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean from New Orleans. On July 23, the ship will make its first visit to Celebration Key, Carnival's new private destination.
