Jennifer Aniston, the beloved FRIENDS star, has long dreamed of becoming a mother. Her journey, however, has been full of ups and downs, heartbreak, and personal discoveries. After facing struggles with IVF and experiencing disappointment in her past relationships, Aniston seems to be finding a new path to motherhood—not in the traditional sense, but through her relationship with hypnotist Jim Curtis and his son.

Jennifer Aniston’s motherhood phase

Insiders tell RadarOnline that Aniston is now focusing on creating a loving bond with Curtis’s son. “Jen’s in this for the long haul with Jim. And she’s so nurturing; of course, she wants to extend that love to his son. That’s only natural for her,” a source said. Aniston’s goal is to be a caring and devoted stepmother, and in doing so, she is also healing from her past disappointments. Her experience with failed IVF attempts is helping her understand that motherhood can come in different forms, and she seems ready to embrace this new chapter of her life fully.

Jennifer Aniston’s past efforts to become a mother

Before finding love with Curtis, Aniston had tried everything to become a mother. She was reportedly devastated when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, her former partner’s ex-wife, were expecting their first child before their divorce was finalised. During her relationship with Pitt, Aniston tried various methods to fulfil her dream, including drinking Chinese teas and taking every precaution possible.

In a candid interview with Allure, she reflected on this period of her life: “I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed. I have zero regrets. I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.’ I don’t have to think about that anymore.”

After being advised about adoption, Aniston chose not to go down that path. On an episode of The Armchair Expert, she explained that if she were to have a child, she wanted it to be biologically her own, admitting that this preference was somewhat selfish. Now, with Jim Curtis by her side, she appears to be moving closer to her dream of motherhood, albeit in a non-traditional way.

The couple first sparked dating rumours when they appeared together on the red carpet at Elle’s 2025 Women in Hollywood celebration in Los Angeles. In an Elle interview, Aniston spoke about Curtis and his work as a hypnotist, highlighting their strong connection. Curtis also shared glimpses of their relationship on Instagram, posting several photos with Aniston and expressing how much he cherishes their companionship.

In November, Aniston made their relationship official on her own Instagram, praising Curtis for making her feel cared for and supported. After experiencing two failed marriages, it seems the actress has finally found the love and stability she was seeking with Jim Curtis.
