Fans believe Jennifer Aniston may have just soft-launched a new relationship after spotting a major clue in her recent Instagram post.

On Sunday, the Friends star, 56, took to Instagram to share a "photo dump" of 18 images, captioning the post: "Thank you summer".

Among the image were pictures of Jen walking through a park on a sunny day, hanging out with fellow Friends star Courteney Cox and actors Sandra Bullock and Adam Sandler, as well as spending quality time with some dogs.

But it was photo 17 that got everyone talking in the comments...

This particular snap showcased a stunning sunset over the water... and half of the back of a man's head.

Though Jennifer did not elaborate further, fans flooded her comments, writing: "You think we wouldn't notice photo number 17???"

Others added: "You deserve to Be Happy, Jenn," "Oh hello 17 pic," and: "This made me sooo happy to see you happy and with these amazing people!!"

While Jennifer tried to keep the man's identity hidden, fans have speculated that the head in the photo belongs to Jim Curtis, an author and life coach who she'd been seen spending time with recently.

Romance rumors were first sparked in July after the pair were seen holding hands and sitting on a bench together on a luxury yacht.

Not long after that, they were seen leaving a restaurant together, along with Courteney and her partner, singer-songwriter Johnny McDaid.

A source told the Daily Mail in August: "They do everything together, they are always together, and if they have to be away from each other, they are on the phone all the time. They are so hot and heavy, it’s crazy.

"The amazing thing is that they click really well because they have the same interests like meditation, yoga, therapy and dogs."

Jim uses his own Instagram page, which boasts over 600,000 followers, to offer manifestation and relationship advice. as well as to "help you heal and thrive by upgrading your 'I am'."


Prior to Jim, Jennifer was last linked to Justin Theroux from 2011 until 2017. The pair got engaged in 2012 but separated in 2017.

Her other high-profile romances include singer John Mayer, whom she dated from 2008 until 2009, with the former couple parting ways for "life reasons".

Jennifer also dated Vince Vaughn from 2005 until 2006, shortly after her split from Brad Pitt and credited him as "the defibrillator who brought me back to life" following her divorce.


The Friends star's most notable relationship was with actor Brad Pitt, whom she began dating in 1998.

The pair's romance was never far from the tabloids, and they tied the knot in 2000, but later split and finalized their divorce in 2005.

Brad then went on to marry Angelina Jolie, though they have also since divorced.

While it remains to be seen whether the latest snap was indeed Jennifer soft-launching her new relationship, one thing is for certain - her fans want nothing more than for her to be happy.
