Jennifer Aniston spent time with loved ones this summer, including her mystery man.

The Friends star marked the end of the season with an Instagram carousel on Sunday, September 7. In the snapshots, Aniston posed next to a number of famous friends, including Adam Sandler, Sandra Bullock, and Courteney Cox. But it was one of the final images that really got people talking.

Aniston might have just soft-launched her relationship with Jim Curtis, but the actress didn’t give away much. The photo shows the back of a man’s head, and he appears to be watching the sun go down over the ocean. “Thank you summer ☀️❤️🙏🏼,” the actress wrote underneath the post.

It’s the first time the 56-year-old has shown any hint of her rumored hypnotherapist boyfriend, whom she was first linked to in July, on her social media. Over Fourth of July weekend, Aniston and Curtis were photographed together in Mallorca, Spain. They were vacationing alongside Aniston’s friends Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka, who appeared in a separate photo in the carousel.

“Ah this penultimate photo 😏💅🏾,” one user pointed out, while another wrote, “You think we wouldn’t notice photo number 17??? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

The day after Aniston uploaded the photos, she and Curtis, 49, were spotted on a date night in New York City, according to People. “Jim’s great. Her close friends love him. He’s amazing to be around,” a source told the outlet. “He has this really calm and secure energy. Jen loves it.”

Us Weekly was the first to report that they were set up by mutual friends. Aniston and Curtis started off as pals before they started dating. Since then, Curtis has helped the busy star “turn inwards and slow down a bit,” according to People, and “really appreciate and feel proud of everything she’s built.”

Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. Curtis once dated Bethenny Frankel.
