Jim Curtis knows how to navigate his relationship with girlfriend Jennifer Aniston.
The hypnotherapist and health and wellness expert shared on the Ced with Intention podcast released on Feb. 12 that he believes knowing how to “repair” relationships is a key part of making them last.
“The only reason we’re here on this earth is for interpersonal relationships. That’s all the reason… Repair is part of it all. We’re living with it,” he said.
Curtis, who was first linked with the Friends star in July 2025, added that it was something that he practiced in his relationship as well, though he did not name Aniston, 57, by name.
“I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend. We spend a lot of time in the house together. Sometimes, we can have little things flare up,” he explained. “We have the opportunity to be silent, angry, [we] could leave the house, think about it and meditate on how to change it.
“Or we can say, ‘Hey, this is what happened, I’m sorry,’ and do the repair,” and then go and work on making sure it happens less or doesn’t happen again. Because once you make a repair and it just happens five more times, no one trusts it,” he added.
When it comes to relationships, he said that “there has to be some agreement” that both parties are emotionally open and are equally doing the work in the relationship.
“We both have to work on ourselves. I can’t fix you, you can’t fix me.’ But we have to at least be in agreement, ‘This is gonna happen when we have this discussion,’ ” said Curtis.
“We’ve had discussions where, before anything bad happens, ‘In this situation, do you need time? Do you need 10 minutes to yourself to think about it or do you want to get into it immediately? Is it OK if we sleep overnight or are you the type of person who, if you go to bed angry, it’s really painful for you?’ ” he continued. “I think there needs to be, especially in a romantic relationship, you need to pregame the rules to this thing that you’re doing.”
Curtis and Aniston first sparked romance rumors in July 2025 when they were spotted out in Mallorca, Spain, together, alongside stars including Jason Bateman, his wife Amanda Anka and Amy Schumer.
The couple then went Instagram official with their romance in November, with Aniston posting a photo of herself with her arms wrapped around Curtis and the caption, “Happy birthday my love Cherished ❤️”
Last month, a source shared details on the couple’s romance with PEOPLE, saying that the actress “had a great end to the year and feels really good about where things are with Jim.”
“She’s excited about this new year and what’s ahead, especially with Jim by her side now. Jen’s always been fine on her own and comfortable being single, but her relationship with Jim is just different,” the insider said at the time.
“She’s very happy and comfortable,” the source added. “He’s just so sweet and supportive of her. He makes her everyday life better.”
