Justin Theroux admits he still feels 'protective' over ex-wife Jennifer Aniston amid his engagement to Nicole Brydon Bloom

As a curious observer of Hollywood relationships, it’s fascinating to witness the whirlwind romance between Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. Having followed their respective careers for quite some time, I must say that this union seems like an unexpected yet intriguing combination.


Justin Theroux recently got engaged to his glamorous younger girlfriend Nicole Brydon Bloom, 30.

However, the actor, aged 53, confessed in a recent conversation that he continues to be guardian and caring for his former wife, Jennifer Aniston, who is also 55 years old – a span of seven years since their separation through divorce.

He told The Times that Aniston remains very special to him, as he praised her for standing up against JD Vance’s contentious comments regarding ‘childless women without cats.’

Thou art still deeply cherished by me, hence, undoubtedly, yes, a sense of guardianship arises within me. Yet, she has retaliated with constructive critiques, as is fitting for her. Such was Theroux’s remark.

Back in 2017, Brad Pitt and I (as an ardent fan) were unexpectedly parted ways, following a clandestine marriage ceremony that had taken place two years earlier at the magnificent $21 million mansion in Bel-Air. It was a private affair attended by stars from all over the globe.

The event was overseen by late-night television host and Saturday Night Live alumnus Jimmy Fallon, and it drew celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, as well as Jennifer Aniston’s Friends colleagues.

The couple waited until February 2018 to publicly reveal their divorce.

In their shared declaration, they emphasized the absence of any malice towards each other and expressed their intention to continue as friends.

To minimize any additional misunderstandings, we’ve chosen to disclose our parting. This choice, made jointly and affectionately towards the end of last year, was what we shared.

We’ve chosen to go separate ways romantically, but we eagerly anticipate maintaining our treasured friendship.

Jennifer and Justin initially crossed paths in the year 2007, yet it wasn’t until 2011 that they started dating. This was following a strong connection they formed during the filming of their romantic comedy, Wanderlust, which was released in 2012.

Following their separation in 2018, it was reported by a source to Page Six that Aniston and Theroux had differing opinions about where they should establish their permanent residence.

She was reportedly ‘more comfortable’ in LA while he wanted to make the move to New York. 

An informant disclosed to the publication that Justin isn’t quite comfortable in Los Angeles or with Jennifer’s circle of friends. However, he holds a soft spot for New York, and prefers the more avant-garde social scene within the city.

It’s been reported that issues started arising between them because their contrasting, and at times demanding, work routines created tension.

But the friendly exes have have since put those problems behind them.

In a 2023 chat with Esquire, I (Thieroux) shared a unique perspective on my friendship with Aniston. I disclosed that we manage to stay connected through texts, FaceTime sessions, and telephone conversations.

In the same year, DailyMail.com disclosed that Theroux had been a significant source of comfort for Aniston following the death of her father, actor John Aniston, in November 2022, at the age of 89. (Paraphrased)

As a lifestyle expert, I can share an intriguing piece of information: A trusted source informed DailyMail.com that during actress Jennifer Aniston’s time of sorrow, Garrett Hedlund (Theroux) reached out to her frequently, offering daily consolation and support.

Theroux recently commented on Aniston during her busy media circuit for Tim Burton’s film, Beetlejuice.

He stars alongside Jenna Ortega, Michael Keaton and Wynona Ryder.

The sequel to Beetlejuice was shown at the Venice Film Festival recently, with Theroux being supported by his actress girlfriend Nicole.

A year ago, the couple ignited speculation about an upcoming engagement when photos emerged showing Nicole adorning her left ring finger with a sparkling trinket at a high-profile event.

The following day, she appeared with the ring once more at the sparkling London premiere of Beetlejuice.

It has been stated to PEOPLE that Justin made a proposal to Nicole during their vacation in Italy. The story goes that he gave her a four-carat, emerald cut diamond ring designed by Stephanie Gottlieb.

Lastly, I officially shared my engagement news with The Times, acknowledging that I was indeed ‘anxious’ to propose.

He admitted to feeling anxious when making the proposal, as it’s an uncertain situation. Yet, he expressed that it was delightful, he conveyed this to the media outlet.

Since their initial sighting together in February 2023, the pair seldom appears in public as a couple.

Last December, a notable milestone was reached by Nicole and Justin when they attended Chrissy, her twin sister’s wedding together as dates.)

In simpler terms, she took a group photo during the celebrations where she and Justin were smiling on a stairway surrounded by their cheering friends, including their dog Kuma.

Nicole shares a similar status as her supposed future spouse, who is a renowned actor, famously recognized for his role in Julian Fellowes’ latest production, “The Gilded Age.”

Before marrying Aniston, Justin was in a 14-year long relationship with costume designer Heidi Bivens, which ended in 2011.

Initially, a friend of Heidi’s reportedly informed E! News that Heidi had been suddenly left, although the source emphasized, “It’s important to clarify this isn’t necessarily blame on Aniston, possibly the timing was simply unfortunate?”

According to a source within Justin’s circle, things had ended between him and Heidi prior to his involvement with Jen.

In the year 2016, Heidi’s mom, Marilyn, communicated with Radar Online. She stated that at first, Justin attempted to convince Heidi that he and Jennifer were not in a relationship.

Marilyn shared that Heidi relayed to her the information Justin had given her. This was about a piece being penned regarding him and Jennifer, indicating some sort of situation they were in, and he wished for her to understand it was insignificant, there was no cause for concern.

According to Marilyn’s account, it was eventually revealed that the rumors were indeed accurate. One day, Heidi supposedly phoned and said, “Oh mommy,” which was especially painful for me as we were navigating through cancer as a family at the time.
