Justin Theroux's Everlasting Bond with Jennifer Aniston Amid Engagement

Jennifer Aniston

Justin Theroux, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" and "Mulholland Drive," recently reaffirmed his enduring bond with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, despite his new engagement to actress Nicole Brydon Bloom. Theroux, 53, and Aniston, 55, who were married from 2015 to 2018, have continued to maintain a close friendship well after their amicable split, which was announced in early 2018.

In a recent interview with The Times, Theroux expressed his protective feelings towards Aniston, highlighting an episode where she publicly responded to comments by Ohio senator and vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance. Vance controversially labeled women without children as "childless cat ladies," to which Aniston, having shared her own challenges with IVF and the struggles along the "baby-making road," offered a poignant rebuttal. "Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day," Aniston retorted, defending women's choices and circumstances.

Theroux, speaking about Aniston's response, asserted, "She is still very dear to me, so of course, yeah, I feel protective," adding how "she batted back criticism, as well she should." Their relationship, which began in 2011 and saw a secret wedding in 2015 at their Bel-Air home, was memorable for its warmth and mutual respect, a sentiment that has lingered between the two even after parting ways.

Following their divorce, Theroux and Aniston have remained in each other's lives, often catching up over dinners and keeping in touch through calls and texts. "We don't talk every day, but we call each other. We FaceTime. We text," Theroux explained in a previous interview, emphasizing the non-dramatic nature of their split and the sincere affection they still hold for one another.

Meanwhile, Theroux's romance with Nicole Brydon Bloom, 30, has been blossoming. The couple, who began dating in early 2023, made their relationship public with a red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Recently, Theroux proposed to Bloom in a romantic gesture in Italy, where he was attending the Venice Film Festival, and she was spotted wearing a stunning four-carat engagement ring designed by Stephanie Gottlieb.

This ongoing story of Theroux's protective feelings towards Aniston alongside his new chapter with Bloom underscores the complexities of personal relationships and the enduring connections that can persist beyond marriage.
