Jennifer Aniston may be swept up in her whirlwind romance with Jim Curtis, but those closest to her aren’t so sure. Behind the scenes, friends are raising red flags, worried she’s moving too fast — turning the buzz around this relationship into something far more tense and complicated.

According to insiders, the 56-year-old Friends alum has been “spending a ton of time” with Curtis, a hypnotist, transformational coach, and author who boasts a long résumé in the wellness and digital health space, with experience at companies like WebMD, Everyday Health, and The Institute for Integrative Nutrition. While his professional background seems impressive on paper, Aniston’s inner circle is reportedly more focused on his personal track record — and they’re not exactly reassured.

Sources say Curtis has openly acknowledged a history of short-lived, intense relationships, often citing that he becomes “bored” easily. While this level of honesty may be refreshing to some, to Aniston’s friends it sounds more like a cautionary tale. “He’s charismatic and interesting, no doubt,” one source shared. “But Jen’s friends are seeing patterns that make them nervous. He doesn’t have the most stable relationship history, and that’s setting off some major alarm bells.”

Curtis also seems to have a complicated relationship with his own family, which has added another layer of concern. For friends who’ve seen Aniston weather some of Hollywood’s most public breakups — from Brad Pitt to Justin Theroux — there’s an understandable protectiveness. While no one is urging her to walk away completely, the prevailing sentiment is simple: slow down.

“They’re not telling her she needs to dump him or anything that extreme,” a source clarified. “They just want her to be cautious. Jen’s in a good place in life right now — she’s happy, healthy, and thriving. Nobody wants to see her risk that by diving too quickly into something that might not last.”

Curtis, who’s been in the wellness field for decades, has built a persona rooted in transformation and self-improvement. His personal website emphasizes a mission to “change the health and wellness of the world,” and Aniston, who has long been interested in mindfulness and holistic wellness, reportedly read his book before they were introduced through mutual friends. Their connection began with shared interests, but quickly evolved into something more romantic.

They were first spotted together in Big Sur in June, enjoying a quiet dinner, and by July 4th weekend, their relationship seemed to be on full display. The couple was photographed vacationing in Mallorca, Spain, where they were joined by Aniston’s longtime friends Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka aboard a luxury yacht. The group appeared relaxed and happy, but behind the scenes, the growing intimacy between Aniston and Curtis had some of her closest companions on edge.

Aniston, despite her fame, is known for being deeply loyal and trusting. Friends say she tends to jump in with her heart first, especially when she feels emotionally safe. It’s part of what makes her such a beloved friend and partner, but also what has left her vulnerable in past relationships. “She’s always been someone who believes in love,” a source said. “But that belief can sometimes lead her to overlook warning signs.”

So far, the relationship has been described as “casual and fun,” with one source telling People that the two have “been seeing each other for a few months now” and that it started as a friendship before turning romantic. Still, “casual” doesn’t always align with how quickly things seem to be progressing — frequent trips, group vacations, and lots of quality time are telling a different story.

For now, Aniston seems content. She’s smiling more, staying busy with work, and leaning into the happiness this new chapter is bringing her. But her friends are watching closely, reminding her not to lose sight of what she’s built for herself in the process. In an industry where public relationships can shift dramatically overnight, they’re hoping she’ll tread carefully, even if her heart is telling her otherwise.

Because when it comes to Jennifer Aniston, the stakes always seem to be higher. She’s not just navigating love — she’s doing it under a microscope. And while romance may be in the air, caution, it seems, is trailing not far behind.
