Big news is on the horizon for Jennifer Aniston’s ex-husband: he’s engaged!
Justin Theroux, who was previously married to Aniston from 2015 to 2018, made headlines when he attended the Venice International Film Festival on Wednesday, August 28, with his girlfriend Nicole Brydon Bloom by his side. The duo was present for the premiere of Theroux’s new film, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. However, it was Bloom’s sparkling accessory that truly stole the spotlight.
At just 30 years old, Bloom sported a dazzling diamond ring on her left hand, which quickly ignited speculation about their engagement among fans. As the couple posed for photographers, Bloom placed her left hand on Theroux’s arm, deliberately showcasing her engagement ring. This led to a flurry of excitement and, ultimately, confirmation from People that the couple is indeed engaged.
Despite the 23-year age difference between Theroux and Bloom, the pair generally keeps their relationship out of the public eye. Nevertheless, they are often seen sharing enjoyable and romantic moments together. They first appeared in public as a couple in February 2023 at a Netflix event in New York City, followed by a cozy dinner at Manhattan’s Altro Paradiso a few months later. Additionally, they were photographed leaving a gym together last October.
Though Theroux and Aniston maintain a cordial friendship and have been seen together since their 2018 separation, Theroux has expressed his preference for a more private relationship. In a 2023 interview with Esquire, he shared his thoughts on public scrutiny, stating, “People will always want to gossip and say things, but you have to find that balance. And having been in a public relationship, it’s much more fun not being in a public relationship. Me saying anything, even if it was something loving, it would just turn into a thing. So it’s a classic no-comment situation for me.”
While Theroux and Bloom continue to savor their low-key romance, it’s hard to ignore the impressive diamond on Bloom’s finger.
