Bethenny Frankel is weighing in on Jennifer Aniston’s new romance — and she has some personal insight.

On her Just B With Bethenny podcast this week, the former Real Housewives of New York City star revealed she once dated Aniston’s new boyfriend, Jim Curtis.

“Maybe 10 years ago,” she recalled, before adding that Curtis is “a nice guy” and that she’s “happy” for the Friends alum.

Frankel, 54, admitted their relationship fizzled in part due to his career in wellness. “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,” she explained.

Still, Frankel thinks Curtis is a strong match for Aniston, praising their “earthy, mellow” compatibility.

“I’m happy for Jennifer Aniston because I do believe she wants to find love,” she said. “I do believe it’s been difficult.”

Calling Curtis “handsome” and “kind,” she added, “I think this is good. I like it, and I’m happy for her and for him.”
