The way Jim explains it, he was introduced to the actress through mutual friends, and they started to chat … and “it took a long time” before they came close and advanced the relationship.

Craig jokingly asked if the friends who set them up were any of Jennifer’s “Friends” alums … but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

As for how long they’ve been an item … Jim indicates they’re coming up on one year together.

Friends … how many of us have them?!?
