A THEROUX IN JIM'S SIDE

Jen's ex is a problem for her new beau

The friendship is causing friction in an otherwise great relationship with Curtis, an insider spills

JENNIFER ANISTON is mesmerized by her hypnotist-boyfriend, Jim Curtis, but insiders blab that TV's Morning Show star is also still close with ex-hubby Justin Theroux and sees him for occasional catch-ups — leaving her beau feeling threatened.

The 56-year-old former Friends beauty and the 54-year-old Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star divorced in 2018 following a three-year marriage, but sources say they still keep in touch despite her new romance with life coach Curtis, whom she met early this year, and Theroux's new marriage to actress Nicole Brydon Bloom, 31.

“Jennifer has been very transparent about the fact that Justin is still in her life,” notes an insider. “To her, it shouldn’t be an issue because they’re strictly friends.

“He is very happily married, and she’s met his wife and has introduced Justin to Jim, so from her perspective it’s not a problem.

“She’s in New York a lot these days, and most times that she’s there she and Justin make a point to see each other. It has been that way for years, and she doesn’t want to suddenly change simply because she’s in a relationship.
