Jennifer Aniston and her new love Jim Curtis have made their relationship publicly official, weeks after “launching” it on social media.
The actress, 56, and Curtis, 50, made an appearance at the Elle Women in Hollywood Awards, with the Friends star dressed in a glittery black halter neck dress by Ralph Lauren.
The move serves as a callback to her famous character Rachel Green, who worked at the American designer brand in the show.
The star worked the red carpet by herself before joining her new partner inside, where they posed alongside Kristin Hahn, Amanda Anka, and Andrea Bendewald before Curtis slipped inside.
Curtis wore a classic black suit with a blue shirt.
The Morning Wars star was honoured at the awards for a second time –t he first being in 2011 – taking to the stage to share a speech with her fellow Women in Hollywood.
“I’m definitely not the same person I was 14 years ago, thank God,” she said on stage.

“But what I believed back in 2011 still holds true, which is, in this industry, women have to keep holding each other up and lifting each other up and lighting the way, and showing each other what is possible, and leaving the door open behind us so no one has to kick it down.
“Here’s to the brilliant, beautiful women in this room: I see you, I celebrate you, and you inspire me endlessly.”
Her old friend Adam Sandler honoured her in his speech.

“Jen is the best in so many ways, and one of the most rock-steady human beings I’ve ever met,” he said, adding, “I’ve only seen her angry maybe, like, two and a half times in the 40 years I’ve hung out with her.”
He even mentioned her new love with Curtis, telling Aniston he and his wife Jackie are “so happy you and Jim found each other and are having the love affair you two deserve”.
“And we love you, Jim, and the whole world loves you, Jim,” he said, eliciting a laugh from the audience.
Curtis and Aniston even sat alongside the Sandlers during the event.
The appearance comes just one week after Aniston gushed about the hypnotherapist, life coach, and author in a new interview with Elle.
“Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does,” she said of her new man when he was brought up in the profile piece.
“He’s quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people.”

The Morning Wars star went on to say Curtis is “very special, very normal and very kind.”
“[He] wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It’s a beautiful thing to commit your life to,” she continued.
Weeks before that, the couple hard-launched their relationship on Instagram, featuring each other on their respective accounts.
Aniston was first to share a post on Instagram, referring to the author as ‘my love’ in the caption.
“Happy birthday my love. Cherished ❤️,” she wrote alongside a photo of them together from his recent 50th birthday celebrations.
Days later Curtis followed her lead, hard launching their relationship to his account with a carousel of images, many of them featuring the Friends star.
“If this is a dream I don’t want to wake up ❤️,” he captioned the post, which led with a shot of Aniston hugging him from behind – a different angle of which she posted.
