Jennifer Aniston’s love life just got the ultimate seal of approval-from none other than her long-time co-star and close friend, Adam Sandler.
The Friends alum made her first public appearance with her new boyfriend, life coach Jim Curtis, at Elle’s Women in Hollywood celebration, where she was one of this year’s honorees. During his heartfelt tribute, Sandler gushed about Aniston’s talent, kindness and new romance, leaving the crowd smiling.
“She’s gorgeous, smart, funny, and makes me a better comedian,” Sandler said in his speech, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Me and my wife Jackie are so happy you and Jim found each other and are having the love story you deserve.”
Aniston, seated next to Curtis, laughed and blushed as the crowd erupted in applause. The moment marked her first major Hollywood appearance as part of her new relationship — and fans couldn’t get enough.
Earlier this month, Aniston confirmed her romance with Curtis on Instagram by sharing a sweet photo of the pair, captioned “Happy birthday, my love.” The post was inundated with love and heart emojis from celebrities like Amy Schumer, Leslie Mann, and Miranda Kerr, while fans celebrated the actress’s newfound happiness.
Aniston and Curtis are reportedly a couple, having started dating a few months ago after a mutual friend set them up. According to sources close to the couple, the pair bonded over their shared love of wellness and self-improvement.
Curtis, a life coach and hypnotherapist, “is very different from anyone she’s dated before,” according to the insider. The actress was married to both Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.
