Jim Curtis candidly shared how he and Jennifer Aniston were friends for several months before they started dating.
“There was a many-month friendship first,” the hypnotherapist told the Sunday Times Magazine in an interview published Saturday.
Reflecting on how his relationship with the “Friends” alum compared to past relationships, he said, “The drive was more natural, more organic, less needy.”
“In the past I’ve felt this idea of, ‘I need you to be in love with me,”’ he admitted. “I wasn’t searching for love anymore.”
Curtis, 50, and Aniston, 57, came into contact after the latter had liked some of the businessman’s Instagram posts.
The “Just Go With It” star is notably a fellow wellness guru and yogi. She participates in all-woman groups, known as “goddess circles,” where participants tell their personal stories.
Eventually, the duo was introduced by a mutual friend.
Additionally, Curtis explained he had a premonition on his 47th birthday that he would have a newfound romance “with someone unlike anyone [he] had ever been in a relationship with” by his 50th birthday.
Sure enough, Aniston hard-launched her relationship with Curtis on Instagram while celebrating the latter’s milestone birthday last November.

“Happy birthday my love. Cherished,” the “Breakup” star captioned a photo of herself hugging Curtis from behind.
At the time, the couple had been dating for a few months after they were first seen vacationing in Spain that July.
Since then, Aniston and Curtis have continuously flaunted their relationship online and in public spaces.
Most recently, Aniston interviewed Curtis about his new book “The Book of Possibility” while in New York City earlier this month.
Curtis also revealed how he and the Emmy winner use meditation techniques to fix their arguments during an appearance on the “Jamie Kern Lima Show.”
Aniston was previously wed to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, and her second ex-husband, Justin Theroux, from 2015 to 2018.
