Jennifer Aniston had a chilling Valentine’s Day with her new boyfriend Jim Curtis.
The actress, 57, quietly launched her romance with her boyfriend Curtis, sharing a cozy snap in which he appeared in the background, discreet, but unmistakable.
Message received: you are paired.
But industry insiders said loving America’s sweetheart comes with… historical footnotes.
“Jim is deeply intimidated,” a source noted. “Brad Pitt isn’t just an ex-husband. He’s a cultural icon, one of the sexiest men who ever lived. That body alone became part of pop history.”
Yes, that Brad Pitt.
According to sources, Curtis is in love, but he’s realistic. Dating Aniston means entering a love story that the public never completely abandons.
“The Brad and Jen narrative never really died,” a source explained. “It’s not that Jim thinks he’s competing; it’s that he’s entering something that the public still romanticizes.”
Another insider puts it more bluntly: “He’s confident, but he’s human. When fans still treat your girlfriend’s old marriage as unfinished business, that’s a lot to carry.”
For decades, Aniston and Pitt’s split has lingered in headlines, memes, reunion fantasies… you name it. And while Hollywood (and the Internet) may still be stuck in the early 2000s, Aniston seems focused on the present.
