“I feel incredibly blessed to be part of and welcomed into that family,” he told The Jamie Kern Lima Show.
He said the group, which includes Friends alum Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow, are “such a beautiful community and group of people.”
“It really speaks to her – and them – that everybody is so grounded, so kind. And it’s not just to me,” he said. “There’s a reason why that whole group and community is so beloved.”
Just a few days before filming the podcast, the pair were seen at dinner with Cox, Kudrow, Jason Bateman and his wife, Anka Bateman.
The couple were photographed together for the first time while on a yacht trip in Spain with the same group of friends last year.
Curtis added that his relationship with Aniston, 57, was “going really well.”
“My experience of her is so grounded and so open and caring and kind and loving,” Curtis said.
“I feel blessed to be in a relationship with someone that is so open-hearted and kind and loving.”
The pair went Instagram official in November last year, with Aniston posting a black and white picture of them together for Curtis’ birthday.
"Happy birthday my love Cherished ❤️," she captioned the post at the time.

They met through mutual friends, and were dating for nearly a year before going public.
Earlier this year, Curtis explained how their love blossomed on the Today Show in the US.
"We were just introduced by friends. That's it. We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat," he began.
He said their romance took some time to form.

"It took a long time, we chatted for a long time and we became close."
Aniston was previously married to Hollywood megastar Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 in one of the most memorable celebrity unions of the era.
She went on to marry actor Justin Theroux in 2015, but they announced their divorce three years later in 2018.
