Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Jim Curtis offered fans a rare glimpse into their romance when Curtis marked the actress’s 57th birthday with a tender Instagram tribute that quickly drew widespread attention.

The wellness entrepreneur shared a striking black-and-white photograph of the couple kissing over a lush floral arrangement, capturing an unguarded moment of affection. A second image showed Aniston and Curtis laughing together on a boat, relaxed and carefree, as if unaware of the camera. Curtis kept his caption understated, writing, “HBD MY LOVE,” a simple message that underscored the intimacy of the images.

The post sparked an outpouring of support from followers, who flooded the comments with warm messages for the pair. Fans praised the photos as “beautiful” and “pure joy,” noting how happy Aniston appeared and celebrating the couple’s decision to share a more personal side of their relationship.

The affectionate tribute follows recent remarks from Curtis about how their relationship quietly took shape. In a television interview, he explained that they were introduced through mutual friends and initially connected through casual conversations. What began as friendly exchanges gradually deepened over several months, evolving into a committed partnership built on shared values and a similar sense of humour.

Aniston and Curtis were first romantically linked after being spotted on holiday in Spain with a group of friends, where their easy chemistry reportedly drew attention. They later confirmed their relationship on social media when Aniston posted her own birthday message for Curtis, sharing a monochrome photograph of herself wrapped in his arms.

Aniston, an Emmy-winning performer still widely associated with her breakout role as Rachel Green on Friends, has long been a subject of public fascination, including her previous marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. Her new relationship with Curtis, however, has unfolded at a slower, more guarded pace.

Since stepping into the spotlight as a couple, Aniston and Curtis have largely chosen privacy, offering only occasional curated glimpses of their life together. Curtis’s birthday tribute, with its intimate kiss and unfiltered laughter, stands out as one of the clearest windows yet into a relationship that appears grounded, affectionate and quietly steady away from the cameras.
