'Nurturing' Jennifer Aniston happy to take on role of a mother: Report

Jennifer Aniston is reportedly overjoyed as her nurturing tendencies have found a new outlet.

As fans will know, Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend Jim Curtis shares Aidan with his ex-wife, Rachel Napolitano-Curtis.

The wellness guru previously opened up about his personal struggles in his 2017 book The Stimuli Experience, where he discussed his difficulty maintaining long-term relationships and his strained dynamic with his only child.

“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," he wrote at the time, also admitting he once struggled to “keep” a girlfriend.

Now, according to a source speaking to RadarOnline.com, Aniston is fully supportive as Curtis works on rebuilding that bond, and is embracing her own role in the family dynamic.

"Jen's in this for the long haul with Jim," the insider shared. 

"And she's so nurturing, of course, she wants to extend that love to his son," the source further established. 

"That's only natural for her," they concluded.
