Jennifer Aniston & Jim Curtis’ Holiday Plans Hint at What’s Next, Sources Say: ‘She Truly Loves Him’
Jennifer Aniston is heading into the holidays with a clear plan — and a clear partner by her side. The Morning Show star is spending the season with boyfriend Jim Curtis, with multiple trips already on the calendar and a relationship that sources say feels increasingly settled.
“They have a trip to the snow planned and a sunny trip for New Year’s,” an insider told People, adding that Aniston is “very happy to be spending it with Jim this year.” The same source emphasized how much the moment matters to her: “Jen loves this time of year. She always goes all-in for Christmas. She has a real tree every year — never artificial. She loves decorating her house to make it feel warm and festive.”
While Aniston is known for hosting throughout December and throwing what the source described as “the best holiday parties,” this year looks a little different. “The holidays are when she slows down, truly enjoys her house and spends time with the people she loves,” the insider said. “She’s very happy to be spending it with Jim this year.”
The couple’s plans come after a year-long buildup that sources describe as unusually thoughtful by Hollywood standards. Aniston and Curtis — a hypnotherapist and wellness coach — spent “months chatting and getting to know each other” early in the year before things turned romantic. The two started dating in July, and they made their first public appearance together at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event on Nov. 17.
“Jen really valued their friendship in the beginning of the year,” the insider said. “When it all took a turn to something more romantic, she was cautious at first. Now, she’s excited that she just went for it.” The source added that the relationship “feels like kismet,” saying, “She truly loves Jim. He’s brought so many good things into her life.”
That sense of ease has shown up publicly in recent weeks. The couple spent Thanksgiving together and were spotted bundled up in New York City during a holiday weekend at the end of November. According to People, they often spend time cooking, playing games, and relaxing with friends. “Jim fits right in with her friends,” the source said. “Everything in her life has come together and she’s excited about it.”
Earlier coverage has noted how serious the relationship appears to be behind the scenes, including reports that Aniston has been supportive as Curtis navigates a reportedly complicated family dynamic with his estranged son. Other recent reporting has also suggested that her romance with Curtis — who works outside the Hollywood system — may have her rethinking long-held boundaries about relationships and commitment.
Aniston herself has spoken warmly about Curtis. In a November interview with ELLE, she described him as “quite extraordinary,” adding, “He’s very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity.”
As the holidays approach, sources suggest the focus is less on spectacle and more on time together — a shift that, for Aniston, appears to signal something steady rather than fleeting.
