Legendary singer Barbra Streisand has posted a sweet and belated birthday tribute to actress Jennifer Aniston on Instagram, warmly acknowledging the Friends star's newfound happiness in her romantic life with boyfriend Jim Curtis. The heartfelt message comes as Aniston and Curtis appear to be taking significant steps forward in their relationship, including exploring upscale real estate options in New York City.
A Celebratory Instagram Post
On Wednesday, Barbra Streisand took to her Instagram account to share a nostalgic throwback photograph from the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2024, featuring herself alongside Jennifer Aniston. In the accompanying caption, Streisand expressed her delight at Aniston's current joy, writing: 'Dear Jen, Wishing you a Happy Belated Birthday. So happy you are happy now! Love, Barbra.' This public gesture subtly references Aniston's blossoming romance with life coach and self-described 'love guru' Jim Curtis, highlighting the supportive bond between the two entertainment icons.
Relationship Milestones and Real Estate Moves
Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis have been steadily advancing their relationship since it began last year. Recently, the couple was spotted inspecting a luxurious apartment in New York's prestigious Upper East Side, signaling a potential move-in together. The property, constructed in 1925, boasts 16 stories and premium amenities such as a doorman, concierge service, a basketball court, wine cellars, a playroom, private storage units, and bicycle storage. Its prime location near the Central Park Reservoir, upscale shops, and fashionable restaurants adds to its appeal.
In a further indication of their serious intentions, Jim Curtis has listed his $1.5 million Manhattan property for sale. This decision aligns with the couple's apparent plans to cohabitate, marking a significant progression in their partnership. Their relationship has been characterized by public displays of affection and shared moments, including celebrating their first Valentine's Day together earlier this month. Aniston shared a photo on social media featuring a box of Sweethearts candy, with Curtis visibly in the background, underscoring their growing closeness.
Public Appearances and Personal Insights
The couple made their romance Instagram official in November 2024, when Curtis celebrated his 50th birthday. Since then, they have attended high-profile events together, such as the season three premiere of Aniston's Apple TV+ drama, The Morning Show, in September. Despite generally maintaining privacy about their personal lives, Aniston has spoken glowingly of Curtis in interviews. In a November conversation with Elle magazine, she praised his work as a transformational coach and hypnotherapist, stating: 'He's very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It's a beautiful thing to commit your life to.'
Jim Curtis opened up about their relationship during an appearance on the Today show last month, revealing that they were introduced by mutual friends and have been close for nearly a year. When questioned by co-host Craig Melvin, Curtis admitted to blushing, adding a touch of charm to their public narrative. Romance rumors initially sparked in 2025 when the pair were seen vacationing together in Mallorca, Spain, over the Fourth of July weekend, and their connection has only strengthened since.
Background and Previous Marriages
Jennifer Aniston, who recently celebrated her 57th birthday, has a history of high-profile marriages. She was previously wed to actor Brad Pitt from 2000 until 2005, and later to actor Justin Theroux from 2011 until 2017.
