Jennifer Aniston, beau Jim Curtis join friends to surprise Sean Hayes

Jennifer Aniston once again drew attention this week when she attended a performance of The Unknown, the new off-Broadway psychological thriller starring her longtime friend Sean Hayes. 

The one-man show, which opened at Studio Seaview in New York City and runs through April, features Hayes portraying multiple characters and has been receiving strong audience reactions.

Arriving on Feb. 13 alongside her boyfriend, hypnotherapist and author Jim Curtis, Aniston was joined by a cadre of well-known Hollywood names, including Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who surprised Hayes during the performance and were photographed with him backstage.

In a social-media post, Hayes expressed heartfelt gratitude for the unexpected support, writing that the group’s presence “warmed my heart” and thanking them for attending. 

According to Daily Mail, Curtis, serving as the group’s unofficial photographer for the night, captured the celebratory images shared online.

Aniston and Curtis’ appearance comes amid growing public interest in their relationship; the pair first sparked romance rumors during a summer 2025 trip to Mallorca and went Instagram-official later that year.
