Justin Theroux tied the knot with his actress girlfriend Nicole Brydon Bloom over the weekend.
And whilst it is the first marriage for The Gilded Age actress, 30, Justin, 53, has a very famous ex wife, having previously been married to Jennifer Aniston.
There were even similarities between the groom’s two weddings, with the low-key actor choosing to celebrate his second marriage with an intimate beach ceremony in Tulum, Mexico.
Ten years previously the actor married Jennifer, 55, in a backyard ceremony at their Los Angeles home, in front of a handful of close friends but just two years after the nuptials, the couple announced their shock split.
Whilst Justin is once again throwing himself into married life, Jennifer, who was also married to Brad Pitt, hasn’t been publicly linked to anyone since the divorce. Instead reports on the A-lister’s love life have been limited to wild rumours that she had an affair with Barack Obama.
Whilst she spends her time shutting down the speculation about her dating life, Jennifer could be forgiven for feeling more than a little jealousy toward Justin’s serene life with his new bride, a 30-year-old actress who the actor said he fell for at first sight.

Ten years previously the actor married Jennifer in a backyard ceremony at their LA home but just two years after that sweet ceremony, Justin and Jennifer announced their shock split
But eight years on from their split, Justin and Jennifer are far from warring exes, instead putting on a public display of unity since the day they confirmed their separation.
Their February 2018 split statement set the standard as they declared: ‘We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.’
And most recently Justin said his former wife was ‘still very dear to me’ in a September 2024 interview with The Times.
Over the years the pair have been the epitome of the amicable separation, sharing social media birthday tributes for one another, vactioning together and celebrating Friendsgiving.
‘The friendship is shifting and changing, you know, so that part is something that we’re both very proud of,’ Justin has reflected.
‘I’m sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship. We can not be together and still bring each other joy and friendship. Also, she makes me laugh very, very hard. She’s a hilarious person. It would be a loss if we weren’t in contact, for me personally. And I’d like to think the same for her.’
Last year Justin supported his ex and her reply to J.D. Vance’s infamous ‘childless cat ladies’ comments.
The Vice President’s comment prompted the Friends star, who has been open about her infertility issues, to post a defiant reply on social media stating: ‘I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option.’

Justin was keen to show his support for Jennifer’s words, admitting he felt ‘protective’ of his ex wife in an interview.
Whilst he has spoken lovingly about his friend, Justin has also insisted that any future romantic relationship would ‘exist within the four walls of whatever room we’re in,’ explaining that ‘having been in a public relationship, it’s much more fun not being in a public relationship.’
Justin has kept his promise, speaking far more sparingly about his new wife and their romance.
In rare comments on The Drew Barrymore Show last year he limited his relationship revelations to the story of how he and The Gilded Age actress Nicole met.
‘The first impression was wow,’ he said. ‘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.’
But eight years on from their split, Justin and Jennifer are far from warring exes, instead putting on a public display of unity with birthday posts and hang outs
‘The friendship is shifting and changing, you know, so that part is something that we’re both very proud of,’ Justin has reflected (his birthday tribute to her)
Despite being linked since early 2023, the couple didn’t make their red carpet debut until a year later at a 2024 Oscars party, a couple of months after their low key Instagram launch in a selfie from Nicole’s twin sister’s wedding.
Jennifer meanwhile is focusing on her own relationships, gushing in a January interview with Allure that she is approaching her fifties with ‘positivity and gratitude.’
