Although Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom prefer privacy, their relationship developed quickly.

Speculation first connected the couple in February 2023, with their first public appearance following a few months later. In May 2023, Theroux — previously married to Jennifer Aniston — expressed a preference for the "enjoyment" of a private relationship over one subject to intense public examination.

He explained to Esquire then, "There's value in moving past that, where I desire all my romantic connections to remain confined to our private space."

The couple didn't officially confirm their relationship on Instagram until December 2023. Nicole invited the actor as her date to her twin sister Chrissy Brydon Bloom's wedding ceremony. Theroux appeared in several photos shared from the event.
