Justin Theroux, 53, and fiancee Nicole Bloom, 30, hold hands in New York City… after getting engaged in Italy

Justin Theroux, 53, and his fiancée Nicole Bloom, 30, were spotted holding hands and arm-in-arm in New York City on Wednesday.

The couple appeared to be on a grocery run as the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star carried a white plastic bag.

Jennifer Aniston’s ex-husband wore a white t-shirt with skin-tight grey jeans and a brown fedora.

His actress bride-to-be meanwhile wore a short-sleeved black top and jeans with a long-sleeved black shirt tied around her waist.

Justin confirmed that the pair, who have been dating for a bit more than a year, got engaged while they were at the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of his movie.

The actors have a 23-year age difference, but despite that, The Leftovers star felt the spark between them the moment he laid eyes on her. 

In fact, his reaction to seeing Nicole for the first time was so intense, a friend with him at the time predicted that she was ‘the one.’

The Washington D.C. native shared that he met Nicole ‘through mutual friends,’ during an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show.

‘A friend of ours was having sort-of a party at their restaurant, bar,’ Theroux said on the episode that aired Wednesday.

‘The first impression was wow,’ he added. ‘And then a friend of mine who was with me, literally the quote, [they] said, “That’s the one.” Like, we hadn’t even met yet. And I was like, “She’s so stunning.” So I went over and started talking and things like that and it progressed.’

Nicole is a New York-based actress who played Caroline Stuyvesant in season two of The Gilded Age.

She graduated with a degree in acting from Elon University in North Carolina in 2017 and started her career on the stage in regional theatre in Kentucky.

Her role on The Gilded Age was a dream come true for the young starlet as she was a big fan of Downton Abbey which was also created by Julian Fellowes.

‘I loved Downton Abbey and Julian Fellowes’ work. I was still in college when I heard the rumors that he was making a new show like the New York version of Downton Abbey,’ she said during an interview with her college newspaper.

‘I emailed my agent, and I was like I have to be in this. I told my agent, “If this comes up, I would love the opportunity to read for them.”‘

Nicole was first spotted with Theroux in February 2023 at a Netflix event at the social club Zero Bond in New York City.

In August 2023, they were seen packing on the PDA at Altro Paradiso, a restaurant in Manhattan.

Justin confirmed that the pair, who have been dating for a bit more than a year, got engaged while they were at the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of his movie, seen here at the 2024 U.S. Open

They made their Instagram debut in a selfie from Nicole’s twin sister’s wedding in December 2023 and attended Naomi Watts’ and Billy Crudup’s wedding in Mexico City in June 2024. 

Theroux has previously talked about how he prefers keeping his relationships out of the public eye.

He told Esquire last year that, for him, it’s ‘much more fun not being in a public relationship.’

‘There’s something to, once you’re out of that, where I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we’re in,’ he said.
