Jennifer Aniston is taken.
The “Friends” alum, 56, went Instagram official with her new boyfriend, Jim Curtis, on Sunday.
Aniston posted a sweet black-and-white photo of the couple hugging to celebrate Curtis’ birthday. The actress smiled and wrapped her arms around her man from behind in the snapshot.
“Happy birthday my love. Cherished ❤️,” Aniston wrote in her caption.
Aniston’s fans gushed over her relationship milestone in the comments section.
“You deserve to be loved endlessly, Jen. So happy for you!😍,” one fan account wrote.
“Couldn’t be happier for you two. My heart is exploding ❤️,” someone else said.
“Finally someone worthy of Love! Blessings! 🔥🙌,” a third person commented.
Curtis, a wellness coach, recently gave advice for finding love in your 40s.
“First love yourself and recognize that you are the perfect age and that life is not over at 42,” he said during an Instagram Q&A on Oct. 29. “When you are 62 and 72, you will look back at 42 and wish that you were that age.”
“And today is a great day to start looking. Go out, open yourself to love and smile, connect with people and most importantly, love yourself,” Curtis continued. “When you love yourself, you will magnetize more love to you.”
Aniston was first photographed with Curtis in July during a trip to Spain’s Mallorca island. They were joined by Aniston’s close pal Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka.
The following month, Aniston and Curtis went on a double date in Malibu with her BFF Courteney Cox and Cox’s boyfriend, Johnny McDaid.
“Her close friends love him. He’s amazing to be around,” an insider told People in Sept. of Aniston’s romance with Curtis. “He has this really calm and secure energy. Jen loves it.”
The source added that Curtis “feels different” than Aniston’s famous past exes, which include Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.
After she started dating Curtis, Aniston opened up about her unsuccessful journey to having kids and why she never adopted children.
“When people say, ‘But you can adopt,’ I don’t want to adopt,” the Emmy winner said on the “Armchair Expert” podcast last month. “I want my own DNA in a little person. That’s the only way, selfish or not, whatever that is, I’ve wanted it.”
“It just wasn’t in the plan, whatever the plan was,” she added of having kids. “It’s very emotional, especially in the moment when they say ‘that’s it,’ because there is a weird moment when that happens.”
