On February 11, Jennifer Aniston celebrated her 57th birthday, and the big news came from her partner, wellness specialist Jim Curtis, who decided to break the discreet profile they had both maintained until now and dedicate themselves to public message to her on social media.

“HBD MY ??,” Curtis wrote alongside a series of photos showing the couple laughing on the deck of a boat and, in another shot, sharing a kiss. Curtis had recently spoken about the beginning of his relationship with one of the stars of 'Friends': “We knew we had mutual friends and started talking,” he recounted. The couple was first seen together in July 2015 in Mallorca, but it wasn't until November that Aniston made their relationship public by posting a photo with him and the message: “Happy birthday my love. Treasure.” Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis's relationship: According to sources close to the actress, who spoke to media outlets like People, this relationship represents a turning point in her love life.
