Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis took a very public step in their relationship on Wednesday, sitting down together for a conversation at 92NY.
The event was held in celebration of Curtis’ new book The Book of Possibility, and saw Aniston interview the transformational coach and wellness expert — who she’s been dating for over a year — on stage.
“This is very, very exciting. It is quite an honor to be here, especially with you, Jim Curtis,” Aniston told the crowd, before launching into a story about how she grew up going to gym class and playing dodgeball in the 92NY building. “It’s quite a full circle moment to be back here with you, speaking of dodging balls,” she teased, wondering, “Have I completely embarrassed you?”
“Not yet. We’re still on track here. First question please,” Curtis joked back. She began by asking him about his journey to wellness and self-help, after growing up in Boston (where “we didn’t suffer woo-woo,” Curtis said) and having a finance career on Wall Street. Eventually, he hit an “ultimate low” with his health and relationships, and wound up in the hospital with a scary diagnosis.
“I just said, ‘You know what? I’ve reached rock bottom and it’s time to change,'” Curtis told the crowd as he got emotional. Aniston responded, “You reached this point where you’re met with two roads, and you definitely took the road less traveled in your case.”
