Jennifer Aniston is finally getting the family she’s always dreamed of as her romance with hunky hypnotist Jim Curtis offers The Morning Show star the chance to be a stepmom to his teenage son, sources say.
“Jen’s in this for the long haul with Jim,” an insider says. “And she’s so nurturing, of course she wants to extend that love to his son. That’s only natural for her.”
Twice-divorced Jen, 56, who had failed marriages to Fight Club’s Brad Pitt and The Leftovers’ Justin Theroux, recently shot down rumors that she never had a biological child because she’s a selfish workaholic, per Allure.

Sources say mutual friends introduced Jen to Jim, 50, and they went public with their relationship in July while vacationing together on a yacht off the coast of Spain.
The wellness guru opened up about his own life in his 2017 book, The Stimulati Experience, and discussed his past inability to “keep” a girlfriend and his tricky relationship with his only child, Aidan.

Jim is divorced from the teen’s mom, Rachel Napolitano-Curtis, and writes in his book, “I wish I had a better relationship with my son, but he lives with his mother most of the time, and he’s pissed at me.”
The insider shares that considerate Jen is “helping” her beau repair his bond with his boy in a “very respectful” way, while looking forward to becoming a parental figure to Aidan.
“The last thing she wants to do is force anything, so she’s leaving the ball in Jim’s court. But it’s no secret that she’d love to play the stepmom role,” the insider says. “She’s made peace with the fact that motherhood in the traditional sense hasn’t been in the cards for
