Jennifer Aniston is entering the holiday season feeling content and optimistic.
The Friends star is said to be very happy in her relationship with Jim Curtis, with insiders revealing she believes the connection feels like “kismet.”
Those close to Aniston say she’s especially excited to spend the festive season with him.
“The holidays are when she slows down, truly enjoys her home and spends time with the people she loves,” a source told People. “She’s very happy to be spending it with Jim this year.”
Christmas has always been special for Aniston. According to the insider, she goes all out every year, decorating her home and insisting on a real tree.
“She loves creating a warm, festive space,” the source added.
Aniston and Curtis reportedly took their sweet time before turning their bond into a romantic one earlier this year.
Friends say she was cautious at first, shaped by years of public scrutiny over her past relationships.
“When it became more than friendship, she hesitated,” the source shared. “Now she’s glad she took the chance.”
The couple confirmed their romance in November when Aniston went Instagram official on Curtis’s 50th birthday.
Soon after they made their first public appearance together at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event.
At the event, Aniston described Curtis as “quite extraordinary,” praising his kindness and passion for helping others heal a quality those close to her say has made all the difference.
