Jennifer Aniston had a spooky Valentine’s Day with her new boyfriend Jim Curtis.
The 57-year-old actress quietly launched her romance with boyfriend Curtis, sharing a cozy snap where he appeared in the background – discreet, but unmistakable.
Message received: she is in a relationship.
But industry insiders said loving America’s sweetheart comes with…historical footnotes.
“Jim is deeply intimidated,” an insider noted. “Brad Pitt isn’t just an ex-husband. He’s a cultural icon – one of the sexiest men of all time. That body alone has become a part of pop history.”
Yes, that Brad Pitt.
According to sources, Curtis is smitten – but realistic. Dating Aniston is entering into a love story that the public has never completely let go of.
“Brad and Jen’s story never really died,” a source explained. “It’s not that Jim thinks he’s competing, it’s that he’s getting into something that the public still romanticizes.”
Another source puts it more bluntly: “He’s confident, but he’s human. When your girlfriend’s former marriage is still treated like unfinished business by fans, that’s a lot to bear.”
For decades, Aniston and Pitt’s split lived on in headlines, memes, reunion fantasies — you name it. And while Hollywood (and the internet) may still be stuck in the early 2000s, Aniston seems to be focused on the present moment.
