Jennifer Aniston makes first public appearance with Jim Curtis in black Ralph Lauren halter gown

Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Jim Curtis made their first public appearance as a couple on Monday, attending Elle’s Women in Hollywood event at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. The 56-year-old actress was being honoured at the celebration, while Curtis, 50, joined her inside the venue, marking their debut as a couple in the spotlight.

Aniston, who went Instagram official with Curtis earlier this month, wore a sparkling black Ralph Lauren halter gown, while Curtis opted for a classic black suit paired with a light blue shirt and tie. The pair posed together for photographs alongside Morning Show producers Kristin Hahn and Amanda Anka, as well as Aniston’s co-star and longtime friend Andrea Bendewald. They were also seen sitting side by side during the event.

Later in the evening, Aniston’s close friend Adam Sandler presented her award. Sandler warmly acknowledged the couple, saying, “When we are around you, me and [wife] Jackie [Sandler] are so happy you and Jim found each other and are having the love affair you two deserve. We love you, Jim. The whole world loves you, Jack.”

Sandler also praised Aniston personally, noting, “I can honestly say Jen is the best in so many ways and one of the most rocksteady humans I’ve ever met. I’ve only seen her angry maybe, like, two and a half times in the 40 years I’ve hung out with her. Jennifer is beautiful, everyone knows that. She makes us smile and laugh. And she has a warmth to her that is intoxicating. She is everyone’s best friend.”

When Aniston took the stage, she addressed the impact of AI on the entertainment industry, saying, “That’s what keeps me showing up everyday, it’s the friendships and the shared belief that storytelling still matters that baring our souls as actors and creators still matters, something that AI will never be able to duplicate no matter how smart it gets.”

Rumours of romance between Aniston and Curtis began during the Fourth of July weekend, when they were spotted on holiday in Mallorca. The couple later confirmed their relationship on Instagram, with Aniston sharing a photo captioned, “Happy birthday my love...Cherished.” This marks her first publicised relationship since her divorce from Justin Theroux.
