The dating scene can be a very small world when you\u2019re famous. So small, apparently, that your boyfriend\u2019s ex might be none other than Bethenny Frankel. At the very least, that\u2019s the case for Jennifer Aniston, who\u2019s been spending lots of time and double dates<\/a> with popular Hollywood hypnotist Jim Curtis<\/a>. In an episode of her podcast Just B With Bethenny on Wednesday, Frankel said she and Curtis were romantically involved about ten years ago.<\/p>\n

Frankel didn\u2019t say how long they were together and said she wouldn\u2019t \u201cget into too much detail out of respect for [Aniston] and her relationship.\u201d The good news is she had nothing but positive things to say about Curtis, remembering him as a \u201cnice guy\u201d and a \u201chandsome, nice man\u201d who \u201cseems kind.\u201d She\u2019s really rooting for him and Aniston as a couple. \u201cI am Team Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis, and I would bet on them,\u201d she said. \u201cI think this is good. I like it, and I\u2019m happy for her and for him, who, like I said, I thought was a lovely man.\u201d<\/p>\n

A glowing endorsement. So why didn\u2019t it work out for Frankel and Curtis? Well, it sounds like she wasn\u2019t into his whole spiritual-coaching deal.\u00a0Curtis is very into \u201cthe wellness space,\u201d which Frankel said was something she \u201cdidn\u2019t really understand.\u201d But different strokes for different folks, and Frankel seems to think Aniston\u2019s \u201cearthy, mellow side\u201d would mesh well with Curtis. \u201cShe\u2019s an actual, true California girl, and while he is not a California guy, he vibes with that wellness talk and it\u2019s very Hollywood and very actor,\u201d she said, noting that this was \u201cnot a diss, it\u2019s just a fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tactfully put. Should Jen and her hypnotist get more serious, I hope they consider Frankel as a future wedding officiant. I think she could knock it out of the park.<\/p>\n
