Jennifer Aniston's Boyfriend Jim Curtis Reportedly Wants Her to Distance Herself from Brad Pitt
Jennifer Aniston's current relationship with Jim Curtis is reportedly facing a point of tension regarding her continued connection with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
According to insiders speaking to Closer Online UK, Curtis is said to be uncomfortable with Aniston maintaining a friendship with Pitt.
This development is significant as it highlights a potential strain in Aniston's new relationship over a past connection that she has publicly described as amicable.
Aniston and Pitt, who were married from 2000 to 2005, have remained on good terms, even reuniting at the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2020.
Aniston previously stated on Howard Stern's SiriusXM show that she and Pitt are "buddies" and "friends," with "no oddness at all."
However, the insiders suggest that Curtis views the situation differently.
"It’s been a surprising source of tension because Jen sees it as healthy and mature, while Jim thinks some relationships are better left in the past," a source told Closer Online UK.
While Curtis reportedly insists he isn't jealous, the source added that "if anyone could make a man jealous it would be Brad Pitt."
Aniston reportedly sees her friendship with Pitt as a sign of "growth and healing," indicating she has reached a place where she can reflect on that period of her life without anger or sadness.
Conversely, Curtis, who is described as generally supportive and secure, reportedly struggles to understand why Aniston would want to maintain any friendship given the pain she experienced from that relationship.
Aniston and Curtis were introduced by mutual friends, and their relationship became more public by the summer of 2025.
Rumors of their dating began in June 2025 after they were spotted together in Northern California, followed by photographs in Mallorca, Spain, in July 2025.
Their relationship has reportedly gained approval from Aniston's friends.
