Los Angeles, United States — January 2026 — Jennifer Aniston is reconsidering adoption after entering a new phase in her personal life, according to recent reporting, marking a notable shift from her long held acceptance that motherhood was no longer part of her future.
The development comes as Aniston’s relationship with hypnotherapist Jim Curtis continues to deepen, prompting renewed private discussions about family and long term plans.
Relationship prompts renewed reflection
According to the report, Aniston has recently revisited the topic of adoption in private conversations as her relationship with Curtis has grown more serious. The actress has previously spoken publicly about coming to terms with not having children after years of personal and emotional challenges.
People familiar with the situation said her outlook remained settled for years until the current relationship introduced a different emotional context, leading her to reflect again on the possibility of becoming a parent.
Social media moment draws attention
Attention increased during the recent holiday period when Aniston shared a photo of Curtis holding a baby on social media. While no announcement accompanied the post, the image drew interest because of its timing and its connection to ongoing private discussions.
Those close to the actress said the post reflected personal conversations rather than a public declaration, and emphasized that it should not be interpreted as confirmation of any decision.
Curtis’s family background
The report notes that Curtis has a teenage son from a previous marriage and has expressed interest in having children. Friends said Aniston has approached the subject carefully, shaped by past experiences and a desire to keep personal decisions out of the public spotlight.
Relationship timeline
Aniston and Curtis were first linked in July after being seen spending time together while on holiday. The relationship became publicly acknowledged in November when Aniston marked Curtis’s birthday on social media, a move described as a significant step by those familiar with the couple.
No confirmation of decisions
Sources stressed that no final decision has been made regarding adoption and that discussions remain private. Neither Aniston nor Curtis has issued any public statements addressing the reports.
Aniston continues to maintain a low profile regarding her personal life as she considers her next steps, with those close to her emphasizing that any future decisions will be made away from public scrutiny.
