Jennifer Aniston is brimming with gratitude for all the wonderful people she spent her summer with. The Emmy-winning actress, aged 56, bid an affectionate farewell to the season by sharing an Instagram carousel on Sunday, September 7. The post was brimming with snapshots of cherished loved ones and celebrity pals, including Courteney Cox, Adam Sandler, and Jason Bateman. Among these photos, one featured the back of a mystery man’s head, sparking fervent speculation among her fans that it might be her boyfriend, Jim Curtis—an author and life coach.
In the penultimate image of the carousel, the man is seen gazing at the sunset over the ocean. The back of his head and shoulders are shrouded in shadow, adding an extra layer of mystery to his identity. "Thank you, summer," Aniston captioned the heartfelt collection.
Fans in the comments section were quick to jump to conclusions, with one playfully writing, “The soft launch.” Another teased, “You think we wouldn’t notice photo number 17?” accompanied by a string of red heart emojis, in response to the tender snapshot.
Other images in the post showcased the Friends alum enjoying a sunny stroll in the park, lying on the ground after an intense workout, and indulging in a luxurious blowout for her hair.
PEOPLE magazine confirmed in July that Aniston and Curtis were indeed dating. An insider revealed at the time that the two were "casually dating and having fun." Another source disclosed that the pair had already been seeing each other "for a few months," having been introduced by a mutual friend.
In August, a source shared that Curtis was bringing out new, vibrant sides of Aniston. "Jim’s great. Her close friends love him. He’s amazing to be around. He has this really calm and secure energy. Jen loves it," the source gushed.
More recently, the couple was spotted enjoying a romantic date night in New York City on September 5. The actress looked effortlessly chic in a white T-shirt and light blue jeans, topped off with a fitted tan blazer for the dinner outing. She accessorized the look with a sleek black leather handbag, black flip-flops, and gold hoop earrings. Curtis, meanwhile, opted for a brown jacket and a crisp white shirt, paired with dark pants and white sneakers.
The pair has also been seen on double dates in both New York City and Los Angeles, stepping out for a three-hour dinner with Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka, and on another occasion, enjoying a night out with Cox and her partner, Johnny McDaid.
