Jennifer Aniston, 57, turns Mallorca yacht holiday into a floating A-list love-in

Jennifer Aniston has apparently decided that a normal European summer holiday is for people who carry their own luggage and have to reserve a sun lounger before breakfast.

The 57-year-old actress has instead been cruising off the coast of Mallorca, Spain, aboard a luxury yacht with boyfriend Jim Curtis and enough famous friends to populate an unusually expensive episode of The White Lotus. Jennifer and Jim were joined by:

• Courteney Cox – Jennifer’s longtime best friend and former Friends co-star
• Pedro Pascal – actor and member of Jennifer’s wider Hollywood friendship circle
• Judd Apatow – filmmaker, writer and producer
• Leslie Mann – actress and Apatow’s wife
• Jason Bateman – Jennifer’s longtime friend and frequent co-star
• Christian Hogue – American model
• Jamie Mizrahi – celebrity stylist
• Amy Schumer – comedian and actress, who posted a photograph aboard the yacht with Jennifer and Courteney

Jennifer and Jim were photographed kissing, embracing and generally making it clear that this was not merely a friendly wellness consultation conducted in swimwear. She wore a chocolate-brown bikini top with white linen shorts during one outing, while Jim went for the traditional yacht-boyfriend uniform of shorts, a dark shirt and the relaxed expression of a man who knows he has somehow landed one of Hollywood’s most famous women.

Jennifer Aniston’s yacht body deserves its own publicist

Jennifer also appeared in a black bikini top and pink bottoms while kayaking, paddleboarding and casually performing a plank on the deck.

Because apparently some people see a luxury yacht and think, “Champagne” while Jennifer Aniston thinks, “This looks like an excellent place to activate my deep core.”

At 57, she has the sort of lean, muscular physique that would make plenty of women half her age quietly reconsider their relationship with exercise. The abs are very much real and, rather inconveniently for the rest of us, they did not materialise through good lighting and positive affirmations alone.

Aniston has trained consistently with the low-impact functional fitness program Pvolve for several years. Her trainer, Dani Coleman, has said she generally completes around three 45-minute sessions each week, mixing strength, mobility, stability, balance and cardiovascular work. Plank variations and deep-core exercises feature heavily, which certainly explains why Jennifer could drop into one on a moving yacht without immediately rolling into the Mediterranean.

She has previously described strength as critical to ageing well and said she particularly enjoys working her core and glutes. In other words, Jennifer looks this good because she works at it. Genetics, money, personal trainers and access to excellent food presumably help, but somebody still has to do the squats.

Who is Jim Curtis?

Jim, 50, is not another actor, musician or emotionally unavailable film producer. He is a hypnotherapist, transformational coach, wellness speaker and author, which is possibly the most Los Angeles boyfriend description ever assembled.

His work focuses on helping clients address trauma, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship grief and the subconscious patterns that keep them stuck. He has worked in wellness for more than two decades and has collaborated with public figures including Miranda Kerr and Julianne Hough. Before becoming a coach, he worked on Wall Street and at health companies including WebMD and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

Curtis’s interest in healing grew from his own health problems. He was diagnosed with lesions on his spinal cord at 22 and experienced paralysis, muscle spasms, headaches, chronic pain and difficulty walking. After years of illness, he redirected his career towards helping other people manage pain and emotional trauma.

He has written several wellness books, including The Stimulati Experience, Shift and The Book of Possibility. Jennifer had read his work before they began dating and included Shift in an Instagram post in May 2025, a move that now looks less like a casual reading recommendation and more like the softest of soft launches.

How did Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis meet?

Despite his profession, Jim insists he did not hypnotise Jennifer into falling in love with him.

The pair were introduced through mutual friends, discovered they shared several connections and began talking. Curtis later said they chatted for a long time and gradually became close before the relationship turned romantic. Sources also said Jennifer was already familiar with his books and interested in his approach to wellness and self-help.

They were first publicly linked during another Mallorca yacht holiday in July 2025. Jennifer made the relationship Instagram official that November with a photograph of herself embracing him from behind and calling him “my love”. They also attended Elle’s Women in Hollywood event together later that month, making their red-carpet debut.

In May 2026, they celebrated their first anniversary. That means the latest Mallorca trip is not merely a new-couple flirtation staged beside a bowl of yacht fruit. They have now been together for more than a year, Jim is comfortably embedded in Jennifer’s friendship group and neither seems particularly interested in hiding the relationship.

The guest list was completely ridiculous

Jennifer did not bring just one or two friends. The wider holiday group included longtime best friend Courteney Cox, Pedro Pascal, Jason Bateman, Amanda Anka, Amy Schumer, Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann, model Christian Hogue and stylist Jamie Mizrahi across various yacht outings and social-media photographs.

That is not a holiday group. That is an awards-season seating plan with snorkels.

Courteney was photographed preparing to swim in flippers, Pedro relaxed in a purple outfit and Jennifer took to the water in a kayak and pedal boat. Amy later shared a photograph with Jennifer and Courteney dressed in white aboard the yacht, using the Golden Girls theme to soundtrack the post.

The message was clear: friendship, sunshine and absolutely no economy-class passengers.

Perhaps the most meaningful sign for Jim is how naturally he appears to fit among Jennifer’s closest friends. Jason and Amanda have been part of the relationship story since its early days, while Courteney publicly follows Jim and has previously engaged with his wellness content. Jennifer’s circle is notoriously close, so surviving an extended yacht holiday with all of them may be a more significant commitment test than meeting the parents.

Could Jennifer and Jim actually last?

The prospects appear unusually good by Hollywood standards, although that is admittedly a standard located somewhere below sea level.

They took time to build a friendship, dated quietly before making the relationship public and have now passed their first anniversary without launching a joint tequila company or announcing an engagement after six weeks.

Sources close to Jennifer have described her as happy, comfortable and supported, saying Jim makes her everyday life better. Jennifer herself has called him special, kind and “very normal”, while praising his commitment to helping people work through trauma.

“Normal” may be doing considerable work when the couple’s holidays involve superyachts and Pedro Pascal, but Jim does appear different from Jennifer’s previous partners. He is not competing with her for roles, reviews or red-carpet attention. His life is adjacent to celebrity culture without being wholly dependent upon it.

A wedding is hardly guaranteed. Jennifer has already been married twice and has no obvious reason to sprint towards a third ceremony. But the relationship looks settled, public and increasingly integrated into her real life. At the very least, Jim has survived the one-year mark and the Courteney Cox evaluation process.

And where was Brad Pitt?

No Jennifer Aniston story is apparently permitted to conclude without somebody checking Brad Pitt’s coordinates.

Pitt’s current major film project is The Riders, director Edward Berger’s adaptation of Australian author Tim Winton’s novel. Production has filmed around Europe, including Ireland, Greece, Amsterdam and Brussels, with Pitt most recently publicly photographed working on the project in Ireland’s County Laois in May.

Here is the slightly absurd part: Pitt plays an Australian man named Fred Scully who travels across Europe searching for his missing wife.

Her name in the story is Jennifer.

So while the real Jennifer was cruising around Spain with her boyfriend, looking better than most people have any right to look while eating lunch, her former husband was making a film about travelling through Europe in search of a woman named Jennifer. You could not submit that plot to a studio without being told it was too obvious.

Did Brad make a quick trip to Mallorca and meet up with Jennifer, Jim and the floating celebrity convention?

There is no public evidence that he did, and Pitt was photographed in Los Angeles with girlfriend Ines de Ramon at the Spain–Belgium World Cup match on 10 July. Still, private jets exist, Jennifer and Brad have said they remain friendly and stranger celebrity reunions have happened over fewer glasses of rosé.

Perhaps Brad quietly joined them for dinner. Perhaps Jim led everyone through a healing exercise about releasing former relationships. Or perhaps Jennifer simply enjoyed her yacht, her friends and her extremely attractive boyfriend without inviting the ghost of 2005 aboard.

Frankly, that seems like the healthiest possibility of all.
