‘Friends’ star, Jim Curtis Romance
She and the divorced father of one — his teenage son lives with his ex-wife in upstate New York — “started out as friends and stayed that way for a while,” the source explains.
“She wanted to get to know him well and set her pace instead of jumping right in, and that suited Jim.”
They kept their dates “intentionally low-key and out of the spotlight,” the source added, as their bond grew. “Jen was very upfront with Jim from the start that a relationship with her would mean a lot of exposure and a level of control that might be difficult. But he wasn’t fazed — he went into this romance with his eyes wide open.”
That feeling of ease works both ways. Curtis has said that their connection felt grounded from the start: natural and not intimidating. And when it comes to wedding planning, he isn’t overwhelmed by her wealth and fame. For example, choosing an engagement ring for a partner worth $300 million would be “pretty intimidating for most guys, but most guys aren’t Jim,” the source said. “He is determined to do something special.”
Ring or no ring, Aniston is fine.
“I’m not a diamond girl. I’m more Indian jewelry and stuff,” she said The New York Times in 2015.
Ex-husbands Brad Pitt, 62, and Justin Theroux, 54, proposed with hefty diamond rings that weren’t her style. When Theroux gave her a huge rock, she admitted a few months before their 2017 divorce, “I was like, ‘Holy cr–, now I have to get manicures.'”
