Fans have been eager to know about Curtis's personality since he was captured with Jennifer Aniston earlier in July 2025.

Recently, Curtis's former girlfriend, Alyssa Pettinato, opened up about her time with the hypnotist and the reasons behind their romance's end.

"We went on a few dates. He's just a nice guy," she told the Daily Mail, noting that she "ghosted" him.

Although Petinatto said she ghosted Curtis, she clarified that the breakup was her fault.

"We didn't work out. It's my fault. But he's a good guy. I think he's definitely a really great guy. I think he would be a fantastic partner to somebody," she explained.

Pettinato continued with the compliments, describing Curtis as "unproblematic" and "the type of person that can get along with most people."

Besides his charming personality, Pettinato also went into detail about Curtis's physical attributes.

She likened her ex to John Stamos's character on the hit sitcom "Full House," noting, "He's got a nice face. He is a successful guy. He is really smart. I think that a lot of women are drawn to that."

Pettinato then recalled her conversation with Curtis when he appeared on an episode of her podcast, "Missjudged," in December 2024.

She revealed she had inquired about his relationship status, but Curtis evaded the question.

"Basically, we did the episode about men being masculine, standing in their masculinity when they're leaving a relationship - basically don't be a cuck about it. And we talked about, 'Hey, what's your situation?' And he just was obscure, so I have no idea still to this day what's going on," Pettinato said.

The 37-year-old also shared her thoughts on Jim Curtis's rumored relationship with Aniston.

While nothing has been confirmed, Pettinato said the rumor was "not surprising," adding that the actress was "such a step up."

She hinted at the duo's similar "Greek" culture being a reason behind their rumored relationship.

"Well, I don't know [Aniston] personally, but I do know that we share a commonality of being Greek. So I'm sure that's a common ground. If they are together, you know, culture is strong," Pettinato explained.

Most importantly, she made it clear that she had no issues with Curtis and would remain supportive of any new relationships.

"Any relationship that he gets in, I would just be on the sidelines cheering him on and just giving him the best. I mean, everyone deserves love, especially people that come from divorce," she said.
