Why are Jennifer Aniston's friends worried about Jim Curtis?
According to Page Six, Aniston's romance with the hypnotist has left some of her closest friends uneasy.
"Some of Jen's friends aren't totally sold on Jim yet," a source exclusively claimed. "They worry he could be an opportunist and feel like he can come off a bit performative."
The same insider stressed that "everybody adores Jen" and wants the best for her. Friends are protective and "don't ever want to see her get taken advantage of," the source said, adding that some are "having a difficult time fully trusting him right now."

Not at all. A second Page Six insider said others in her inner circle have embraced the transformational coach and see the couple as a strong match.
"Others absolutely adore Jim and feel like he fits in seamlessly with their circle of friends," that source said. Friends "haven't seen Jen this happy in a long time" and think the pair "complement each other on so many levels."
Those allies "couldn't be happier for her" and wish Aniston and Curtis "nothing but the best," the insider claimed. Representatives for both did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment.
