Jennifer Aniston’s new boyfriend shocked everyone with a bizarre “past life” revelation after being hypnotized live on the Maury show. This outrageous claim has thrust the couple’s relationship into an unprecedented spotlight, blending the world of Hollywood glamor with alternative spirituality in a way that feels almost surreal.

Jim Curtis, the man currently capturing Aniston’s heart, is far from a typical celebrity suitor. A transformational coach, hypnotherapist, and published author, Curtis is carving a niche in the spiritual wellness world—and now, he’s making headlines for an experience that stretches the boundaries of belief. At just 20 years old, Curtis appeared on The Maury Povich Show to undergo past life regression with renowned psychiatrist Dr. Brian Weiss, a pioneer in therapeutic hypnosis. The result? He claimed to have uncovered a past life as a Native American man who died after being shot.

Curtis recently revisited the story during a candid appearance on Emily Fletcher’s podcast Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, recounting how the experience became a turning point in his life. “I was regressed into a past life, and I realized I was a Native American Indian. He [Dr. Weiss] took me back to the point of my death—and I was killed,” Curtis explained. At the time, he was dating a production assistant in New York who encouraged him to participate in the show. “She’s like, ‘you know, Maury is having this guy, Dr. Brian Weiss, on and he needs people to hypnotize and regress into a past life—are you up for that?’ And I’m like, ‘absolutely, I am!’” he said.

For many, it’s a jaw-dropping anecdote that would be met with skepticism—yet for Aniston, who has long been open about her spiritual interests and holistic wellness habits, it might just have been one more point of connection. Sources close to the actress say the couple bonded over their shared curiosity about fate, karma, and the healing power of self-awareness. “He is very spiritual and she loves to ask him questions,” said one insider. “They bounce ideas off each other. It’s a meeting of minds.”

Their connection was first made public after paparazzi captured the two cuddling aboard a yacht in Mallorca over Fourth of July weekend. Far from a fleeting vacation romance, reports have since emerged suggesting that Aniston and Curtis have known each other for years and began their relationship quietly, with early dates taking place inside her Bel Air mansion. That same mansion, which she once shared with ex-husband Justin Theroux, is outfitted with zen gardens, Buddha statues, and a spiritual temple area—evidence of Aniston’s deep commitment to her wellness lifestyle.

It’s no surprise, then, that Aniston had read Curtis’s book, Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide, even before their relationship became romantic. She had also revealed in a previous interview that she had used hypnosis to overcome an intense fear of flying—suggesting that Curtis’s area of expertise may have already aligned with her personal growth journey long before their lives intertwined.

Curtis isn’t just a wellness guru with a flair for the mystical. He’s a passionate animal lover, frequently posting photos of his rescue dog Odie and advocating for adoption. According to friends, this trait only deepened his bond with Aniston, who is a proud dog mom herself. “Jim is probably one of the biggest animal lovers I know,” said a source close to the couple. “That’s what really sealed the deal with Jennifer. Their love for dogs.”

While some may raise eyebrows at Curtis’s past-life narrative, others are quick to defend him as sincere and grounded. “He’s not a poser or arrogant like so many wannabes out there,” one source said. “He’s really well-liked in the healing community.” That grounding might be exactly what appeals to Aniston, who, after high-profile marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux, appears to be embracing a quieter, more spiritually aligned path.

Curtis continues to share his personal philosophies online, posting affirmations, guided meditations, and messages about living with intention. And while his past-life tale may seem strange to some, it reflects a broader belief system that prioritizes introspection, emotional intelligence, and healing—a far cry from the Hollywood fast lane.

Whether this romance turns into something lasting remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Jennifer Aniston is in a new chapter, and it’s unlike any she’s opened before. With Curtis, she’s found not just companionship, but a partner who matches her inner evolution. Their story may have started with a wild spiritual claim, but for Aniston, it seems this connection is anything but superficial.
