Jennifer Aniston & Jim Curtis: A Malibu Love Story with Friends in Sight

Jennifer Aniston was caught on a romantic Malibu date with her new love Jim Curtis on Monday evening. The two were spied as they left the Japanese restaurant Nobu, where the Kardashians often dine

JENNIFER ANISTON'S LOVE LIFE HEATS UP: ACTRESS SPOTTED ON ROMANTIC DATE WITH NEW BEAU JIM CURTIS IN MALIBU!

The 56-year-old "Friends" alum was caught on camera leaving the upscale Japanese restaurant Nobu with her new love interest, Jim Curtis, a 50-year-old life coach and hypnotist. But what's really got tongues wagging is that they weren't alone - Aniston's longtime BFF Courteney Cox, 61, and her musician fiancé Johnny McDaid, 49, joined them for dinner!

The quartet tried to keep a low profile after their premium-grade A sushi feast by the sea, but we've got all the juicy deets on their night out. An insider spills that Aniston was "sheepish" as she followed Curtis out of the restaurant, while Cox and McDaid looked like they were enjoying each other's company.

Along with them was Aniston's Friends costar Courteney Cox , 61, who was in the company off her longtime on-and-off fiancé Johnny McDaid, 49

Aniston's style game was strong, rocking a cozy pale gray sweater, worn-in light blue jeans, and brown sandals with her highlighted hair down. Meanwhile, Curtis looked dashing in his casual blue jacket over a gray top with olive gray slacks and white sneakers - but he was still using his trusty cane for an unknown reason (we can only speculate it's due to those pesky spinal cord lesions).

Cox, on the other hand, brought her A-game with an acid-washed blue denim jacket worn open over a black top and slacks with black heels. Her raven locks were stylishly back-combed with curtain bangs and hoop earrings, while McDaid channeled his inner rockstar in all black.

But what really has everyone talking is the rumored love connection between Aniston and Curtis. Sources close to the couple claim they bonded over their shared love of dogs - specifically rescue pups! "Jennifer really bonded with Jim over his love for rescue dogs," an insider reveals. "She appreciates that he rescued Odie, a senior pooch, instead of going through dating apps."

It seems like Curtis's canine-loving ways won Aniston's heart - and it's not just because they share a love for furry friends. Apparently, their dogs get along swimmingly, with Odie even adoring Aniston's two pups, Clyde and Lord Chesterfield.

But that's not all - the power couple is also committed to helping canines in need. "They are active in dog charities and helping get aid and supplies for dogs," notes a source. "It really makes them feel good to help out less privileged pooches."

Curtis, who boasts a career as a life coach and hypnotist, has been helping Aniston find inner peace - literally! The actress has been following him on social media for nearly two years, and sources claim she's "very happy" with their budding relationship.

But what about Curtis's past? Well, the 50-year-old has had his fair share of life-changing challenges. After being hit with severe nerve pain in 1995, he was diagnosed with lesions on his spinal cord - a diagnosis that forced him to pivot from his frat-guy athlete persona and explore new paths.

Fast forward to today, and Curtis is now a successful life coach and hypnotist, helping people find their inner strength. And it seems like Aniston is one of them!

In a bizarre twist, the actress was previously spotted with Curtis on vacation in Mallorca, Spain, during Fourth of July weekend - sparking romance rumors that they're "taking things slowly." But insiders claim Aniston feels "very connected" to Curtis, sharing their emotional intelligence.

Curtis himself has gushed about their relationship on social media, writing: "When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain, I never thought I would have the abundance, joy and love I now experience on a daily basis." Wow, talk about deep!

But what's really got everyone buzzing is Aniston's new Instagram selfie with Cox - the two actresses captioned it "We look so cute next to each other... so do they," leaving fans wondering if their friendship has turned into something more.

So, there you have it - all the juicy details on Aniston's new love interest and her budding romance. Stay tuned for more updates on this star-studded saga!
