Jennifer Aniston’s relationship with Jim Curtis has the seal of approval from her longtime friend and fellow actor, Adam Sandler.
On Monday, Aniston — who made her first public appearance with Curtis while attending Elle’s Women in Hollywood event, where she was an honoree — received praise from Sandler for her comedic talent and a special shoutout regarding her new romance.
“She’s gorgeous, she’s patient … she’s talented, she’s deep, she’s smart, she’s funny as hell,” Sandler said about Aniston, according to a video obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “Her comedic timing is impeccable, and she makes me a better comedian when we work together. She’s an incredible producer, writer, one of the best collaborators I’ve ever worked with. I love her with all my heart. Aniston, you’re simply the coolest and kindest. You never stop being loving and caring to me and my family and all of your wonderful friends.”

In July, Aniston and Curtis were seen enjoying a day at sea aboard a yacht off the coast of Mallorca, Spain. In one photo, Aniston gently placed her hand on Curtis’ hand, while he had his arm around her waist.
“[Jen and Jim are] casually dating and having fun,” an insider told People at the time.
“They’ve been seeing each other for a few months now,” another source told the outlet. “They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends. Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work. She’s really into self-help and wellness. They are dating, but it’s still casual.”
