Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Jim Curtis stepped out together for the first time at a public event on Monday, November 17th. The couple attended EL’s Women in Hollywood event, where the Friends star was being honored. Though the pair didn’t walk the red carpet together, they were photographed inside the venue alongside morning show producer Kristen Han, actress Andrea Benald, and Amanda Ana, who is married to Jason Baitman.

Seated near Adam Sandler and his wife Jackie, Jen and Jim received warm praise from the actor. Sandler reportedly introduced Aniston on stage, gushing, “When we are around you, me and Jackie are so happy you and Jim found each other and are having the love affair you two deserve. We love you, Jim.” He also complimented Jennifer’s talent and character, saying, “I can honestly say Jen is the best in so many ways and one of the most grounded humans I’ve ever met. Jennifer is beautiful. She makes us smile and laugh, and she has a warmth that is intoxicating. She’s everyone’s best friend.” Sandler continued, highlighting her “sunshine, kindness, thoughtfulness, brilliance, and calmness,” noting that she “lights up every room she walks into.”

This appearance comes shortly after Jennifer Aniston shared rare comments about her romance with Jim Curtis. In an interview for EL’s 2025 Women in Hollywood portfolio, she praised him as “quite extraordinary” and “very special, very normal, and very kind.” She explained that Jim, a hypnotherapist, helps people heal and move through trauma, calling his work “a beautiful thing to commit your life to.”

Earlier this month, the couple went Instagram official when Aniston posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Jim, writing, “Happy birthday, my love,” alongside a red heart emoji. Jim responded with his own post featuring several photos of Jennifer and captioned, “If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up,” also accompanied by a red heart emoji.

Jennifer and Jim have been linked since the summer, first spotted vacationing on a yacht in Mallorca with Jason Baitman, his wife, and Amy Schumer. Their romance was confirmed by multiple sources in July, and the EL Women in Hollywood appearance marks their first official public outing together, signaling a happy and supportive chapter in Aniston’s personal life.
