Jennifer Aniston had a relaxing Valentine’s Day with new beau Jim Curtis.
The actress, 57, quietly launched her romance with boyfriend Curtis, sharing a cozy snap where he appeared in the background – low-key but unmistakable.
Message received: she is connected.
But industry insiders claimed that loving America’s sweetheart comes with… historical footnotes.
“Jim is terrified,” an insider noted. “Brad Pitt isn’t just an ex-husband. He’s a cultural icon — one of the sexiest men who ever lived. That body alone became part of pop history.”
Yes, that Brad Pitt.
According to sources, Curtis is smitten – but realistic. Dating Aniston means stepping into a love story that the public never quite lets go of.
“The Brad-and-Jen narrative never really died,” a source explained. “It’s not that Jim thinks he’s competing — it’s that he’s stepping into something that the public still romanticizes.”
Another insider puts it more bluntly: “He’s confident, but he’s human. When your girlfriend’s previous marriage is still treated as unfinished business by fans, it’s a lot to bear.”
For decades, Aniston and Pitt’s split has lived on in headlines, memes, reunion fantasies—you name it. And while Hollywood (and the Internet) may still be stuck in the early 2000s, Aniston seems to be focused on now.
