After giving up on ever having kids, Jennifer Aniston is talking about starting a family after she ties the knot with hunky new beau Jim Curtis, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The twice-divorced Friends star, 56, posted a sweet social media pic of a smiling Curtis holding a baby over the holidays – and pals say she's seriously considering adopting.
Love Rekindles Baby Dreams
Jim Curtis is said to have reawakened Jennifer Aniston's interest in adoption after early doubts about starting a family.
Insiders said the couple initially butted heads over the idea of having a family, given her age and past failures to have a child, even putting a strain on their budding love affair.
Sources said Curtis reawakened her desire to be a mom, and despite her early hesitation, she's now all in on the idea.
"It was tough at first because Jim has always wanted another child and Jen's spent years coming to terms with the fact that motherhood wasn't in the cards for her, and she genuinely had made peace with it,” the source said.
"Now they have fallen so head over heels in love, they can't help but talk about what it would be like to have a family together," shared an insider. "Being with Jim has cracked something open, and made her come around to his suggestion of adopting."
Romance Rumors Turn Serious
Curtis sparked romance rumors with Aniston after the pair were spotted vacationing together following her split from Justin Theroux.
The Morning Show star sparked romance rumors with Curtis, a hypnotherapist and life coach, when the two were spotted vacationing together in July.
It's Aniston's first serious relationship since splitting from second hubby Justin Theroux in 2018 and she made the romance Instagram official in a November post to mark Curtis' 50th birthday.
As for adopting a child, "everyone is telling Jen she should do it, that she'd be the most wonderful mom and it's not too late to experience motherhood for herself," shared a source. "Jen has so many friends who have adopted kids and they've all told her it was the best choice they've ever made.
