Nicole Brydon Bloom is embracing the present with fiancé Justin Theroux.
While stepping out to a Paradise FYC event in Los Angeles on Friday, March 7, the actress, 30, told PEOPLE that she and Theroux, 53, are living in the moment as an engaged couple.
She kept mum on any future wedding plans, simply noting that they’re “excited” for what’s to come in their relationship.
“We are just so delighted to be engaged and excited for our future together,” Bloom says.

Theroux popped the question in Italy, PEOPLE confirmed in August 2024, while his film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice debuted at the Venice Film Festival. At the movie’s premiere, as she and Theroux channeled a bridal moment in all-white looks, Bloom flashed her new engagement ring on the red carpet.
From Stephanie Gottlieb Fine Jewelry, the ring features a four-carat, emerald-cut flawless diamond. The stone is set in platinum, with 18-carat yellow gold inlay, and the band contains the birthstones of both Theroux and Bloom.
Weeks later, Theroux reminisced about how he and Bloom first met — through mutual friends — and recalled being instantly captivated by her.
“The first impression was wow,” he said during a September 2024 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. “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.”
Last month, Bloom shared how she was getting used to calling Theroux her fiancé since their summer engagement. “It’s getting more and more normal for me,” she told Al Roker on the Feb. 7 episode of Today.

She then touched on how their romance first developed. “We were friends for a little while before we started dating and I think that’s actually really nice how it happened,” Bloom said of their relationship.

The pair were first seen together around August 2023, about six months after they first sparked romance rumors. They were spotted kissing while on a date at Altro Paradiso, a New York City restaurant, and again months later leaving a gym together.
Theroux, who was previously married to Jennifer Aniston from 2015 to 2018, addressed his desire to keep his romantic life private in an interview with Esquire in August. He shared that it’s his belief that it’s “much more fun not being in a public relationship.”
