Jennifer Aniston is bringing her new relationship stateside.
The actress was spotted out in New York City on Monday, Aug. 4, with her boyfriend, hypnotherapist Jim Curtis, as she stepped out for dinner with her close friend Jason Bateman and his wife, Amanda Anka.
She was dressed casually in a long white sundress, while Curtis wore white jeans and a blue button-down shirt open, and walked with a cane.

Bateman was similarly casual for the double date, dressed in black pants, a button-down shirt and boots. The couples enjoyed a three-hour dinner together in the West Village.
Aniston, 56, and Curtis were also photographed as they returned to their hotel together, and Bateman was photographed exiting a car with Aniston.
The N.Y.C. double date comes three weeks after Aniston was first spotted with Curtis on a yacht vacation in Mallorca.
The Morning Show actress enjoyed a European getaway in July and had Curtis by her side as she spent some time on a yacht with Bateman and his wife, as well as Amy Schumer.

In photos from the vacation, Aniston and Curtis were seen touching hands and Curtis appeared to be rubbing Aniston's shoulders at one point. In another shot, they appeared to embrace.
The trip marked the first time that the actress was seen with Curtis, though eagle-eyed fans later noticed that he had commented "♥️💪" on a workout video Aniston posted in April.

A source told PEOPLE after the yacht trip that Aniston and Curtis have been dating for several months.
Multiple sources confirmed that the pair are dating and "having fun," and one insider revealed more details about how their relationship began.
"They've been seeing each other for a few months now. They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends," the source said.
"Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work. She's really into self-help and wellness. They are dating, but it's still casual."
Curtis, an author and life coach who specializes in hypnotherapy, is "very different from anyone she's dated before," the source continued.

"She's been happy on her own, but she's also open to sharing her life with someone. As long as it feels right. Jen's in a very good place right now — grounded, fulfilled and very happy."
Aniston's relationship with Curtis is her first public one since her 2018 split from Justin Theroux. The pair married in 2015 and divorced two and a half years later, but remain on good terms.
Prior to Theroux, Aniston was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005.
