US Catholic bishops vote to officially prohibit gender transition treatment at Catholic hospitals
U.S. Catholic bishops voted on Wednesday to officially declare a ban on gender transition treatment for transgender patients at Catholic hospitals.
The bishops, gathered in a Baltimore hotel ballroom, overwhelmingly approved revisions to their directives for the thousands of Catholic health care institutions and providers in the country, formalizing a yearslong process for the U.S. church to address transgender treatment options.
Bishops will have autonomy in putting the new directives into law for their dioceses.
More than one in seven patients in the U.S. are treated each day at Catholic hospitals, according to the Catholic Health Association. In some areas, Catholic hospitals are the only medical centers available.
Most Catholic health care institutions have not offered gender transition treatment, including hormonal, psychological and surgical treatments.
"With regard to the gender ideology, I think it’s very important the church makes a strong statement here," Bishop Robert Barron of Minnesota’s Winona-Rochester diocese said during the public discussion of the revised directives.
The Catholic Health Association thanked the bishops for incorporating much of its feedback into the new directives.
"Catholic providers will continue to welcome those who seek medical care from us and identify as transgender," the organization said in a statement. "We will continue to treat these individuals with dignity and respect, which is consistent with Catholic social teaching and our moral obligation to serve everyone, particularly those who are marginalized."
The new directives incorporate earlier documents on gender identity from the Vatican last year and the U.S. bishops the year before.
In the 2023 doctrinal note titled "Moral Limits to the Technological Manipulation of the Human Body," the bishops stated that "Catholic health care services must not perform interventions, whether surgical or chemical, that aim to transform the sexual characteristics of a human body into those of the opposite sex, or take part in the development of such procedures."
But some parishes and priests welcome transgender Catholics, while others are less accepting.
SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE IF FAITH-BASED COUNSELING ON GENDER IDENTITY IS PROTECTED SPEECH
"Catholic teaching upholds the invaluable dignity of every human life, and for many trans people, gender-affirming care is what makes life livable," said Michael Sennett, a transgender man who is active in his Massachusetts parish and serves on the board of New Ways Ministry, which advocates for LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church.
New Ways Ministry arranged a meeting last year with the late Pope Francis to discuss gender transition treatment.
The group's executive director, Francis DeBernardo, said that for many transgender Catholics he has spoken to, "the transition process was not just a biological necessity, but a spiritual imperative," adding: "That if they were going to be living as authentic people in the way that they believe God made them, then transition becomes a necessary thing."
Also on Wednesday, as U.S. Catholic bishops were discussing gender identity, the heads of several progressive religious denominations issued a statement in support of transgender people.
"During a time when our country is placing their lives under increasingly serious threat, there is a disgraceful misconception that all people of faith do not affirm the full spectrum of gender – a great many of us do. Let it be known instead that our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole," reads the statement from the 10 signers, including the heads of the Unitarian Universalist Association, the Episcopal Church, the Union for Reform Judaism and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
In addition to the Catholic bishops' discussion on gender identity, they overwhelmingly approved a "special message" condemning the Trump administration's immigration agenda.
Catholic leaders have criticized the president's mass deportation agenda, as fear of immigration raids has slashed Mass attendance at some parishes.
The federal government earlier this year reversed a Biden administration directive for immigration agents not to carry out enforcement operations at sensitive areas such as churches and hospitals.
"We are disturbed when we see among our people a climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement," the bishops’ statement on Wednesday reads. "We are saddened by the state of contemporary debate and the vilification of immigrants. We are concerned about the conditions in detention centers and the lack of access to pastoral care."
Several bishops also stood up to speak in favor of the statement during the final afternoon discussion.
Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich even recommended stronger language around mass deportation, and his fellow bishops agreed.
"That seems to be the central issue we are facing with our people at this time," he said.
The updated text now affirms that U.S. Catholic bishops "oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people."

Trump signs bill ending longest government shutdown in US history
President Donald Trump signed legislation to fund the government again — putting an end to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Trump signaled Monday the government would open soon, as consequences of a lapse in funding continued to snowball, including missed paychecks for federal workers and airline delays stemming from air traffic controller staffing shortages.
The bill keeps funding the government at the same levels during fiscal year 2025 through Jan. 30 to provide additional time to hash out a longer appropriations measure for fiscal year 2026.
The measure also funds the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that more than 42 million Americans rely on through September. The program supports non- or low-income individuals or families to purchase groceries on a debit card.
LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN HISTORY NEARS LIKELY END AS HOUSE MOVES ON FUNDING BILL
Additionally, the measure reverses layoffs the Trump administration set into motion earlier in October and pays employees for their absence.
The reopening of the government comes after more than 40 days of a lapse in funding amid a stalemate between Senate Republicans and Democrats over a stopgap spending bill that would have funded the government through Nov. 21.
After a lapse in funding starting Oct. 1, the Senate passed legislation Monday night that would reopen the government by a 60–40 vote margin. A total of eight Democrats voted alongside their Republican counterparts for the measure. The House subsequently passed its version of the measure Wednesday.
THE 5 LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS IN HISTORY: WHAT HAPPENED, HOW THEY ENDED
The deal came as fallout from the shutdown came to a head, including travel disruptions at U.S. airports where air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers were required to work and were gearing up to miss a second paycheck.
As a result, these staffers were calling in sick, or taking on second jobs, creating staffing shortages and flight delays.
The standoff between Republicans and Democrats originated over disagreements about various healthcare provisions to include in a potential funding measure. Trump and Republicans claimed Democrats wanted to provide illegal immigrants healthcare, and pointed to a provision that would repeal part of Trump’s tax and domestic policy bill known as the "big, beautiful bill" that reduced Medicaid eligibility for non-U.S. citizens.
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN BECOMING LONGEST IN US HISTORY AS DEMOCRATS DIG IN ON OBAMACARE
Democrats pushed back on this characterization, and said they want to permanently extend certain Affordable Care Act subsidies that are set to expire at the end of 2025.
The stopgap spending bill that Trump signed does not extend these subsidies by the end of the year, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., agreed to a vote in December on legislation that would continue these credits.
Even so, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., has not agreed to get on board with that arrangement in the House.

Speaker Johnson accuses Dems of choosing politics over hungry Americans after House votes to reopen government
House Speaker Mike Johnson accused top Democrats of holding higher priority for their positions in office than hungry Americans after the House of Representatives voted to reopen the government Wednesday on Fox News.
The House of Representatives voted to end the 43-day government shutdown in a 222–209 vote Wednesday evening just after 8 p.m. ET.
"Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are from New York. They needed to get political cover because the Marxists are taking over the Democratic Party, especially in their state," Johnson told "Hannity."
"They were more afraid of political retribution from the radicals that now run the Democratic Party than they were afraid about taking the food out of the mouths of hungry families," he added.
CONGRESS SENDS BILL ENDING LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IN HISTORY TO TRUMP'S DESK
"The long national nightmare is finally over," the speaker said. "The Democrat shutdown was finally put down by the Republicans tonight. We all stood together. We did exactly what we told the American people we would do."
The bill heads to President Donald Trump’s desk. Johnson said he will present it for the commander-in-chief's signing.
JOHNSON TAKES VICTORY LAP IN FIRST COMMENTS AFTER SENATE SHUTDOWN DEAL: ‘VINDICATED’
The fiscal showdown that gripped Washington, D.C., for weeks was centered in part on Democrats’ refusal to back a funding bill without renewed, enhanced Obamacare subsidies.
"It was a selfish political stunt," Johnson said. "It yielded nothing but pain for the American people, and I think it's going to be a long time before they forget this."
The bill passed by the House only funds the government until Jan. 30. It will also reverse October’s federal layoffs carried out by the Trump administration.
Johnson said none of Democrats’ "radical" demands were met in the legislation.
"We didn't give them anything — any of their radical, crazy demands," Johnson added. "I think the good won out tonight, and it was long overdue."
He said Trump "bent over backwards" to support Americans affected by the shutdown and expressed confidence the administration will continue those efforts.
"You'll see that same level of fervor," Johnson said. "The entire Cabinet, the entire administration is going to work around the clock to get the government open and operational again as quickly as possible."
Texas sues county for helping migrants access legal support as they fight deportation: 'Evil and wicked'
Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Harris County — home to Houston — for using county funds for programs that help migrants facing deportation obtain access to legal support.
Harris County established the Immigrant Legal Services Fund program in 2020, sending money to five organizations that help migrants facing deportation obtain lawyers.
Last month, the county appropriated an additional $1.3 million to support the program.
Paxton said in a statement that the program is "evil and wicked," as well as unconstitutional.
TEXAS AG KEN PAXTON SUES LATINO VOTER GROUP JOLT FOR ALLEGEDLY REGISTERING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
"We must stop the left-wing radicals who are robbing Texans to prevent illegals from being deported by the Trump Administration," Paxton said. "Beyond just being blatantly unconstitutional, this is evil and wicked. Millions upon millions of illegals invaded America during the last administration, and they must be sent back to where they came from."
This is one of several recent lawsuits filed by Paxton targeting organizations that support migrants.
Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee, a Democrat, rebuked Paxton's latest lawsuit, affirming that the program is "perfectly legal" and that his office would fight back against the lawsuit in court.
"This lawsuit is a cheap political stunt," he said in a statement. "At a time when the president has unleashed ICE agents to terrorize immigrant neighborhoods, deport U.S. citizens, and trample the law, it’s shameful that Republican state officials are joining in instead of standing up for Texans."
The Harris County Jail leads the nation in ICE detainers, according to The Texas Tribune, as federal and state officials seek to continue to carry out President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda.
Before the county started the Immigrant Legal Services Fund in 2020, it was the largest county in the country without a program to help migrants get access to legal counsel, The Texas Tribune noted. The county passed the program on a party-line vote.
"When you have a family at a deportation hearing and they don’t have an attorney, they’re deported at a much higher rate, like 90% of the time, compared to like 5% of the time when they do have an attorney," county Judge Lina Hidalgo, who proposed the program, said at the time, according to the Houston Chronicle.
FIRST ON FOX: TEXAS' KEN PAXTON ENDORSES CANDIDATE TO SUCCEED HIM AS ATTORNEY GENERAL
In the lawsuit, Paxton claims that the programs "serve no public purpose and instead constitute unconstitutional grants of public funds to private entities to subsidize individual deportation defenses." He asked the court to block the county from distributing funds to these organizations and prohibit it from sending the money to the groups in the future.
Last month, after the vote to allocate funding for the program, Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis said the funding was needed because of the uptick in raids targeting migrants, according to the Houston Chronicle.
"Having access to legal representation not only improves case outcomes but helps keep families together," he said in a statement. "In a county as diverse as ours, local government must step up to safeguard safety, justice, and the people we serve."
Longtime Newsom critic puts UN summit on notice if Dem governor is allowed to speak: 'Climate hypocrisy'
An annual United Nations climate summit being held in the Amazonian city of Belém in Brazil is slated to include talks and appearances by California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
However, California Republican gubernatorial candidate and former Fox News host Steve Hilton, a longtime critic of Newsom, is putting the summit on notice if they allow him to speak.
This week, Hilton sent a letter to the heads of the COP30 summit, requesting that they deny anymore speaking roles for the California governor or face risking the credibility of the conference, citing the Democratic governor's "climate hypocrisy." According to Hilton, California, under Newsom's leadership, has imported nearly half of all the crude oil drilled from the Amazon rainforest.
"Governor Newsom has built his political image around climate virtue signaling while presiding over one of the most environmentally destructive hypocrisies in the world," Hilton wrote. "This oil comes from one of the most sensitive ecosystems on Earth, contributing to deforestation and the displacement of Indigenous communities … Instead of addressing this exploitation, Governor Newsom continues to promote himself as a global climate leader—jetting to international conferences to pose for cameras while his policies bankroll rainforest destruction."
BILL GATES DISCOVERS THE WAY TO FIGHT CLIMATE BATTLE ACTUALLY INVOLVES HELPING HUMANS
Hilton notes that earlier this year, even members of California's Democratic-controlled state Senate unanimously called for an investigation into the state's role in funding the Amazonian oil trade. Oil drilling in the Amazon is rapidly increasing deforestation and destroying the rainforest's biodiversity, according to environmentalists, who argue California's reputation as a climate leader is undermined by its actions drilling oil in the South American rainforest.
Hilton, meanwhile, described Newsom's appearance at the summit as "political theater masquerading as leadership."
"To have Gavin Newsom lecture the world on climate justice while his administration promotes the decimation of the Amazon would be an insult to the conference and its members," Hilton wrote to the COP30 leaders. "The UNFCCC and COP 30 must not reward hypocrisy with a platform."
Newsom spoke Tuesday at the conference, during which he slammed Donald Trump for his failure to protect the environment, calling him an "invasive species" and "a wrecking ball" when it comes to progress on climate change. Newsom is expected to make appearances across the roughly two-week period that the summit is being held, including a trip deep into the Amazon Rainforest to meet with local residents and leaders.
Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom's office in response to Hilton's petition calling on COP30 to deny the California governor public appearances at the summit, but only received a six-word response.
"I'm sorry – who is Steve Hilton?" questioned Newsom spokeswoman Izzy Gardon.
Epstein boasted he briefed Russian diplomat on how to handle Trump in newly released emails
Jeffrey Epstein cast himself as a political insider after President Donald Trump’s first election, newly released House Oversight emails show, offering foreign leaders "insight" into the new president and boasting that he’d already briefed a top Russian diplomat on how to handle him.
The trove of emails, made public this week by the House Oversight Committee, spans 2016 to 2018 and reveals Epstein trying to reestablish himself on the world stage by courting heads of state, billionaires and diplomats.
The convicted sex offender, who died in federal custody in 2019, positioned himself as a man with rare access and understanding of Trump, offering his analysis to global figures eager to make sense of the new administration.
In one 2018 exchange, former Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland thanked Epstein for a "lovely evening" and said he would meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s assistant.
SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO TAKE UP GHISLAINE MAXWELL’S SEX TRAFFICKING APPEAL
Epstein replied that Jagland should tell Russian President Vladimir Putin that Lavrov "can get insight on talking to me," adding that "Vitaly Churkin was great — he understood Trump after our conversations."
Churkin, Russia’s longtime ambassador to the United Nations, died in 2017.
The messages show Epstein repeatedly pitching himself as an interpreter of Trump’s behavior.
WHITE HOUSE SLAMS DEMS' 'BAD-FAITH' EPSTEIN DOC RELEASE AS DEMAND FOR FILES INTENSIFIES
"It is not complex," he wrote to Jagland. "He must be seen to get something its that simple."
Earlier emails show Epstein attempting to broker access around Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
Dubai ports magnate Sultan bin Sulayem asked whether he should accept an invitation from Trump ally Tom Barrack and whether it would be possible to shake the president’s hand. Epstein advised that the events would be "very crowded" but offered to help arrange meetings before or after in Washington or New York.
Epstein also stayed in touch with prominent American financiers and political figures. In December 2016, he exchanged notes with Hyatt heir Tom Pritzker, boasting that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had sent him "a tent, carpets and all." Pritzker joked the gesture might be "code for ‘I love you.’"
In a separate 2018 chain following Trump’s summit with Putin in Helsinki, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers asked Epstein, "Do the Russians have stuff on Trump? Today was appalling even by his standards."
Epstein dismissed the idea, replying that Trump was "totally predictable" and offering to explain by phone.

"He thinks he has charmed his adversary," Epstein wrote. "He has no idea of the symbolism. He has no idea of most things."
Together, the communications paint a picture of Epstein trying to leverage his reputation and relationships for renewed influence, using his connections in Washington, the Middle East and Europe to insert himself into the Trump era’s global intrigue.
When reached for comment, the White House told Fox News Digital, "These emails prove literally nothing."
The House Oversight Committee released the cache of Epstein-related documents this week as part of its ongoing probe into the Justice Department’s handling of the financier’s previous plea deal and his wider network of contacts.
'Friends' star Jennifer Aniston defends Jimmy Kimmel against 'horrible’ and ‘unthinkable’ suspension
Actress Jennifer Aniston criticized ABC’s suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel during an interview with Elle published Wednesday.
Asked about Kimmel’s suspension for the outlet’s "Women in Hollywood" issue, the "Friends" star called it "horrible" and "unthinkable."
"Unthinkable things are happening. It’s very dangerous and very unfortunate," Aniston said.
ABC and its parent company, Disney, pulled "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in September following the backlash the late-night host received for claiming that the suspected murderer of conservative activist Charlie, Tyler Robinson, was a supporter of President Donald Trump.
"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," he said at the time.
Kimmel’s comments came one day after both FBI officials and Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Robinson held a "leftist ideology" and was increasingly radicalized in recent years.
Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, both of which own hundreds of local TV stations across the United States, announced they would preempt Kimmel’s show on ABC affiliates "for the foreseeable future."
CRUZ WARNS CONSERVATIVES 'WILL REGRET' FCC CENSORSHIP PUSH AGAINST ABC, OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS
Kimmel’s suspension followed. However, some liberal commentators argued that Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr pressured ABC to suspend Kimmel because he mentioned there were potential "avenues" the FCC could pursue to hold ABC accountable during a conservative radio interview at the time.
Kimmel’s show was restored days later.
Aniston, a friend of the ABC host, told Elle she believed the boycott of Disney-owned streaming platforms Hulu and Disney+ sent a message to the company to bring Kimmel’s show back.
"But, at the end of the day, we’re the viewers. We subscribe to these networks and streaming services, so it really comes down to the people and their voices. All those subscription cancellations spoke volumes," the actress said.
Business Insider reported that cancellations of the streaming platforms doubled in September, though it’s unclear how many were related to the Kimmel controversy.

Satellite radio host Howard Stern said he canceled his subscription that month to protest the decision.
Describing it as a government attack on free speech on "The Howard Stern Show," the host said, "I just know when the government begins to interfere, when the government says, 'I'm not pleased with you, so we're going to orchestrate a way to silence you,' it's the wrong direction for our country.
"Now, it might sound stupid, but the thing I did this morning — I'm canceling my Disney+. I'm trying to say with the pocketbook that I do not support what they're doing with Jimmy."
Kimmel and his wife, television writer Molly McNearney, discussed the aftermath of the suspension during a podcast interview last week. McNearney said she feels anger toward family members who support Trump despite her husband’s opposition to him.
"It hurts me so much because of the personal relationship I now have, where my husband is out there fighting this man, and to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family. And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people in my family because of it," McNearney said.
Jennifer Aniston strips down, bares all about ‘extraordinary’ new boyfriend and his healing powers
Jennifer Aniston dared to bare in a series of sultry snaps while opening up about new boyfriend Jim Curtis.
The 56-year-old actress recently posed for Elle's 2025 Women in Hollywood portfolio, which was featured in the magazine's December 2025/January 2026 issue.
In one image, the "Friends" star showed off her svelte physique in a pair of $3,300 dark gray embroidered underwear and a long-sleeved gray top, both by the Italian luxury label Miu Miu.

Aniston appeared on the cover in a crisp white Ralph Lauren dress shirt, which was unbuttoned to her midriff, along with light blue jeans. She accessorized with jewelry by Vicki Turbeville, including a chunky silver necklace, turquoise bracelets and a matching belt.
In the accompanying interview, Aniston gushed over Curtis days after confirming her relationship with the 50-year-old hypnotist and wellness coach in a romantic Instagram post that she shared last week.
"Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does," Aniston told the outlet. "He’s quite extraordinary and helps many, many people.
"He’s very special, very normal and very kind and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity," she continued. "It’s a beautiful thing to commit your life to."
On Nov. 2, "The Morning Show" star went public with their romance, sharing a birthday photo of herself with Curtis on social media.
"Happy birthday my love," Aniston wrote on Instagram, alongside a black-and-white photo in which she was seen wrapping her arms around Curtis' waist.
"Cherished ❤️" she added.
JENNIFER ANISTON SHARES THE SURPRISING SECRET THAT KEEPS HER LOOKING YOUTHFUL AT 56
Two days later, Curtis gushed about his new love, sharing photos of himself with Aniston taken during his birthday celebration.
"If this is a dream I don’t want to wake up," Curtis wrote in the caption of his Instagram post.
He also shared the post on his Instagram story, which was set to Alex Warren's hit love song "Ordinary." The song features lyrics that say, "The angels up in the clouds are jealous, knowin' we found/Somethin' so out of the ordinary."
According to People magazine, Curtis has previously worked with celebrities including, Miranda Kerr and Julianne Hough. He's also a motivational speaker and author who appears on wellness podcasts and at corporate retreats. He penned the 2024 self-help book "Shift: Get Unstuck, Discover Your Direction, and Design Your Dream Life," which focuses on self-development and resilience.
Curtis was previously a business executive in the wellness space and worked as head of brand strategy for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York.
JENNIFER ANISTON FINALLY FINDS LOVE WITH A REGULAR GUY AFTER YEARS OF HOLLYWOOD HEARTBREAK
Aniston and Curtis were first spotted together in July while enjoying a day at sea aboard a luxury yacht off the coast of Mallorca, Spain. In a photo, Aniston gently placed her hand on Curtis' hand, while he wrapped his arm around her waist.
The couple was accompanied by actor Jason Bateman, his wife, Amanda Anka, and Amy Schumer.
At the time, an insider told People magazine Aniston and Curtis were casually dating and having fun.
"They've been seeing each other for a few months now," another source told the outlet. "They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends. Jen had read his book and was familiar with his work. She's really into self-help and wellness. They are dating, but it's still casual."
The insider also told the outlet that Curtis is "very different from anyone she's dated before."
In August, Aniston and Curtis were spotted on a double date with the actress's "Friends" co-star, Courteney Cox, and her partner Johnny McDaid at Nobu in Malibu, California. That same month, he accompanied Aniston when she hosted an event for her hair care brand LolaVie in Los Angeles.
Aniston "soft-launched" their relationship in September when she posted a summer photo dump, including an image of someone who resembled Curtis that was taken from behind.
On Sept. 9, Curtis joined Aniston at the Season 4 premiere of "The Morning Show" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. However, the couple did not walk the red carpet together.
After the duo made their romance Instagram official, a source told People that their relationship feels "easy."
"She's been glowing," the insider shared. "Everything in her life has come together, and she's excited about it. Jim's the best.
"Her friends love him," the source added. "He's calm, very warm and incredibly supportive. He's brought a really steady and positive energy into her life."
The insider noted that Curtis "fits right in with her friends," saying "it all feels light, natural and really good.
"It's exactly where she wants to be right now."

Aniston's romance with Curtis marks her first public relationship since her 2018 split from her ex-husband and "Wanderlust" co-star Justin Theroux, who she began dating in 2011 and married in 2015.
Since finalizing their divorce, the two have remained friends, and Theroux recently showed his support for Aniston's new romance when he "liked" her birthday tribute to Curtis.
Prior to Theroux, Aniston was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. Following her split from Pitt, Aniston dated her "The Break-Up" co-star Vince Vaughn from 2005 to 2006 and Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer from 2008 to 2009.
Curtis was previously married to his ex-wife, Rachel Napolitano. The two met in 1999 and tied the knot in 2003, according to Page Six. The former couple share a teenage son named Aidan.
Curtis' romance with Aniston does not mark the first time that he has dated a celebrity. Last week, former "Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel revealed on her "Just B with Bethenny Frankel" podcast that she and Curtis dated "maybe 10 years ago."

Frankel, 55, explained that while Curtis was a "nice guy" and a "lovely man," she didn't share his interest in the wellness space.
"I never participated in it," she said via Page Six. "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."
Frankel noted that "there are people that would be better suited with other people than with you" and explained why Aniston might be a better match for Curtis.
"[Aniston is] an actual, true California girl. And while [Curtis] is not a California guy, he vibes with that wellness talk," the reality star said. "It is very Hollywood and very actor. Not a diss, just a fact.
"I’m happy for Jennifer Aniston because I do believe she wants to find love," she added. "I do believe it’s been difficult."
University of Chicago faculty unions demand school end 'inaction' against ICE raids
University of Chicago students, staff and faculty union members demanded that the school stop "sitting on [its] hands" and take a stance against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in the city during a press conference on Friday.
Representatives from five school unions spoke out against the university's alleged "inaction" regarding Operation Midway Blitz, the Trump administration's immigration enforcement initiative targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records in Chicago.
The operation drew intense backlash from some local residents, including University of Chicago assistant professor Eman Abdelhadi, who was arrested last month on felony charges at an anti-ICE rally.
"Violent kidnappings and assaults by federal agents are not happening in some distant Chicago, beyond ‘the life of the mind,’" assistant professor Diana Schwartz Francisco said, according to The Maroon, the school's student newspaper. "They’re happening in our neighborhoods. They’re happening right here."
SEIU Local union executive vice president Jeffrey Howard said that, as a higher institution, the University of Chicago has a duty to push back against what he called the "fascist regime" enacted through the ICE raids.
"To just idly stand on the sideline and say, ‘We’re doing what’s legally required’—it’s not enough.… It’s sad that one of the leading institutions in the United States chooses to sit on their hands instead of taking the fight to this president and this fascist regime," Howard said.
TOP BLUE CITY UNIVERSITY'S NEWSPAPER TRACKS ICE OPERATIONS AMID FREQUENT VIOLENT CLASHES WITH FEDS
He added, "University of Chicago, do what you’re charged to do: educate the leaders of the future. And you can’t do that sitting on your hands, allowing the things that are happening on this campus to happen."
According to the Hyde Park Herald, the union representatives gave the school a list of demands that included barring ICE agents from entering buildings without a judicial warrant, notifying the school community about ICE activity in the area, posting signs barring ICE agents from entering buildings and publicly affirming students' right to learn without federal interference.
The University of Chicago's website updated guidelines regarding ICE activity on Nov. 5 and noted that federal officers "are required to present valid warrants to access locked or other non-public spaces on University property absent certain exigent circumstances or approval."
ANTI-ISRAEL PROFESSOR CURSES OUT EMPLOYER UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, SAYS SHE TEACHES TO BUILD POWER
However, the guidelines also state that the University of Chicago "cooperates with outside agencies as required by law, while protecting the rights and privacy of students, faculty, and staff."
Francisco called the guidelines "patronizing and negligent."
"It implies that the threat of encounter with ICE or federal agents is an individual problem that can be remedied with individual action, when in reality, this is an institutional problem that requires proactive, clear policies and protection from the university," Francisco said.
In a comment to Fox News Digital, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, "These smears referring to ICE law enforcement as fascists and calling for violence against them is disgusting and God forbid it is going to get a law enforcement officer killed. Our officers' risk their lives every day to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens including murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists."
University of Chicago spokesperson Gerald McSwiggan referred to the school's guidelines when reached for comment.
Timothée Chalamet calls child-free life 'bleak,' says fatherhood is 'on the radar' for him
"Dune" star Timothée Chalamet called the idea of a childless life "bleak" while discussing his relationships in an interview with Vogue Magazine.
The 29-year-old "Marty Supreme" actor told the magazine Nov. 6 he and a friend once watched a video of a person "bragging about not having kids and how much time it afforded them to do other stuff."
"Like, holy s---. Oh my God. Bleak," Chalamet responded.
He told the magazine that while he knows some people can't have children, he believed, as Vogue contributor Mattie Kahn wrote, that "procreation is the reason we're here."
Chalamet added that children "could be on the radar" for him in the future, though he did not elaborate on his relationship with Kylie Jenner.
"I don’t say that with any fear. I just don’t have anything to say," Chalamet said.
He remarked that he has worked with several talented directors, such as "Dune" director Denis Villeneuve, who have shown him it's possible to have both a career and a family.
"You don’t have to be selfish to be great, no," Chalamet said. "And I know, because I’ve worked with directors who are incredible and who are incredibly present in their family life. Even Denis [Villeneuve], who I’m working with right now. I’m just amazed by him. It was his birthday two days ago, and one of his kids flew themselves out as a surprise, and he’s hugging him. And he’s weeping on set. And people are taking videos. Denis is a total master of his craft, and he’s a great family man."
Chalamet and Jenner have reportedly been in a relationship for two years. Jenner has two children from her previous relationship with rapper Travis Scott.
Fox News Digital reached out to Chalamet's representatives for comment.
