Jennifer Aniston’s New Boyfriend Jim Curtis Used to Date This Real Housewife

Jennifer Aniston‘s new boyfriend Jim Curtis used to date a famous Bravo housewife — Bethenny Frankel.

The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 54, made the reveal on the Tuesday, Sept. 2 edition of her Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast.

“I dated Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend and he was a nice guy,” said the podcast host, noting that she was not going to get too much into detail “out of respect” for his and Aniston’s relationship. She did, however, mention that their romance was “maybe 10 years ago.”

“I’m happy for her, and I want to say this in the right way. His name is Jim Curtis, and he’s getting a lot of attention because he’s with her now and he’s in like the wellness space.”

Curtis has been working in the health and wellness space for over two decades as a hypnotherapist, according to his website. He is also a life coach and author in the health and wellness industry.

Wellness, however, was something Frankel and Curtis “didn’t get that into,” as she claimed she doesn’t love all areas of it and does not always take it seriously.

“He was earlier in his journey. But with that and with the wellness aspect, there was an earthiness to it, and it does vibe with Jen Aniston,” said Frankel, expressing that sometimes there are people who are better suited with other people.

“I’m happy for Jennifer Aniston because I do believe she wants to find love. I do believe it’s been difficult, as I understand as well as anybody can, and I do believe she’s sort of got that earthy, mellow side to her,” she added.

Frankel said that based on her “institutional knowledge” of Curtis, she’s “betting” on his relationship with Aniston, adding, “he’s a handsome, nice man, and he seems kind.”

“I think this is good. I like it, and I’m happy for her and for him, who, like I said, I thought was a lovely man,” Frankel said.

Aniston and Curtis first sparked romance rumors in July when they were seen looking cozy on a yacht in Mallorca. Later that same month, PEOPLE confirmed the two are “casually dating and having fun.”
