After Ex Justin Theroux Welcomes First Baby, Jennifer Aniston’s Reaction Says It All
Jennifer Aniston quietly cheered ex-husband Justin Theroux and his wife Nicole Brydon Bloom as they introduced their first child, posting a sweet Instagram shot of Theroux cradling their newborn son with a love-filled caption announcing his arrival.
In the land of famous exes, this is about as civilized as it gets: Jennifer Aniston quietly tapped like on Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom's baby announcement. No drama, just a digital congrats and everyone moving on like adults. Love to see it.
The baby news
Theroux, 54, and Bloom, 32, shared a joint Instagram post on Saturday, April 18, with a photo of him holding their newborn son. The caption kept it short and sweet:
"He's here 🕊️ We are so in love"
Aniston hit like on the post, right alongside Beanie Feldstein, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, and Jonathan Van Ness. Again: normal, respectful, very grown-up energy.
Where the exes landed
Aniston and Theroux were married from 2015 to 2018. When they split, they put out a joint note saying the decision was mutual and loving, it happened at the end of the prior year, and they were still best friends who planned to keep the friendship going. And they have, by all accounts.
Theroux has been pretty firm about not turning that friendship into a press tour. In 2023, he told Esquire that after living through a public relationship, he prefers to keep current personal stuff private. Translation: he talks to Jen, he does not talk about Jen, because even a nice comment can snowball into a whole thing.
Justin and Nicole: the quick arc
Theroux - who you saw in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - started seeing Bloom (Paradise, The Gilded Age) in 2023. They got married in March 2025 in Mexico, and they clearly went for intentionally low-key romance. Bloom told Vogue they picked a spot that felt private, relaxed, and romantic, and the whole weekend played out under a full moon that literally rose behind them on the beach - a nice echo of their proposal. Theroux called the day wonderful and kept the vows themselves off the record, but said the officiant nailed it and his wife was incredibly moving. Short version: intimate, emotional, not for public consumption.
