Bethenny Frankel is “betting” on Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis’ relationship lasting — and she would know as the hypnotist’s ex.
The former Real Housewife revealed on Wednesday’s “Just B With Bethenny” podcast that she “dated Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend … maybe 10 years ago.”
The Skinnygirl creator, 54, labeled Curtis “a nice guy” and gushed about how “happy” she is for Aniston.
Frankel, however, hinted at why she and Curtis previously called it quits when discussing the former Wall Street trader’s work “in the wellness space.”
She said, “I never participated in it. … I don’t love all areas of it, and I don’t always take all areas of it seriously. … We talked about it, but we just didn’t get that into it.”
However, the ex-Bravolebrity believes Curtis’ “earthiness” matches the “Friends” alum’s “earthy, mellow side.”
Frankel acknowledged that “there are people that would be better suited with other people than with you.”
She explained, “[Aniston is] an actual, true California girl. And while [Curtis] is not a California guy, he vibes with that wellness talk. It is very Hollywood and very actor. Not a diss, just a fact.
“I’m happy for Jennifer Aniston because I do believe she wants to find love,” the reality star continued. “I do believe it’s been difficult.”
Citing her “institutional knowledge,” Frankel confirmed that she “like[s the couple] as a match.”
She gushed, “He’s a handsome, nice man, and he seems kind. I think this is good. I like it, and I’m happy for her and for him.”
Frankel subsequently weighed in on Aniston’s ex-husbands, Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.
She labeled the “Leftovers” alum, 54, “more intense” than “mellow” Pitt, claiming the “Fight Club” star, 61, “seemed like a decent match for Aniston.”
The 56-year-old actress was married to Pitt from 2000 to 2005, followed by Theroux from 2015 to 2018.
Her relationship with Curtis made headlines in July when the duo were spotted vacationing with her pals on Spain’s Mallorca island.
The duo, who also took a trip to Big Sur, Calif., have since been photographed on dinner dates.
Another one of Curtis’ exes spoke out on the romance earlier this summer, dishing on her former partner’s “common ground” with Aniston.
Alyssa Pettinato, who briefly dated the hypnotist “years ago,” told the Daily Mail in July that the pair “share the commonality of being Greek” and have a “strong” bond over culture.
Curtis has been married once before to Rachel Napolitano, with whom he shares a teenage son named Aidan.
