Justin previously proposed in Italy, where the couple was promoting the long-awaited movie sequel at the Venice Film Festival.
In the new snaps obtained by The U.S Sun, The Leftovers actor and The Affair actress let fans know that the big news was official.
Nicole posed with a massive emerald-cut ring that sparkled on her finger.
She didn’t shy away from photographers, and was beaming as fans got a closer look at her ring as Justin held her arm around her waist.
Justin donned a black tuxedo for the red carpet moment, opting for a modern look with a no-collar shirt and a dangling earring.
Nicole looked glamorous in a short white dress with plenty of leg showing and her brunette hair in a pulled-back bun.
ENGAGEMENT REVEAL
Just one day earlier, on Wednesday, the lovebirds walked the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, where Nicole debuted the sizable ring.
For that outing, the pair wore matching ensembles – donning white and giving bridal vibes.
The ring debut was also a hard-launch that they were engaged, which was confirmed today by People.
The happy news didn’t come with an announcement, but People confirmed it was their way of sharing the whirlwind engagement.
BLOOM-ING ROMANCE
Justin and Nicole first sparked romance rumors in February 2023 after attending a Netflix event in New York City.
The duo was spotted alongside Tan France and actress Louisa Jacobson, with whom Nicole stars on the HBO series The Gilded Age.
In August 2023, Theroux and Bloom were spotted kissing during a date night in New York City.
In October, the couple was also photographed leaving an NYC gym together.
They previously made their relationship official on Instagram in December 2023, when they attended Nicole’s twin sister Chrissy’s wedding there.
Justin has taken privacy seriously, and actors have been building their romance outside the public eye.
Privacy seems to be a refreshing change for Justin, telling Esquire in 2023 that 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 added.
Justin finally offered some glimpses of Nicole on his social media just this past week.
On Tuesday, August 20, Justin posted a photo to his Instagram Stories showing himself wrapping his arm around and planting a kiss on Nicole’s cheek.
The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star left no caption on the post, but it was the first time he publicly shared a photo with Nicole on his social media.
While Justin may have slightly higher star power, Nicole’s acting resume is quite vast and includes the Netflix movie 1BR.
JUST-IN DIDN’T WORK
Justin was previously married to Jennifer Aniston from 2015 to 2017.
They do not share any children together, and this marked Justin’s first marriage and Jennifer’s second after Brad Pitt.
After meeting during the film production Wanderlust, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux started dating in 2011.
The couple declared their engagement in August of 2012 and tied the knot on August 5, 2015.
In February of 2018, the celebrity couple shocked the public with the announcement of their separation, which they decided a year earlier.
The actor’s relationship with Jennifer, 55, made for endless headlines and thrust him directly into the spotlight.
He was candid about their situation after their divorce and that even if they don’t talk “every day,” they’ve “remained friends.”
“Like it or not, we didn’t have that dramatic split, and we love each other,” he told “Esquire” in 2021.
“I’m sincere when I say that I cherish our friendship,” Justin continued.
“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.”
When they divorced, there were rumors that the couple split because Jennifer wanted to live in Los Angeles, while Justin longed for New York City.
He shut down those rumors, telling the outlet: “That’s a narrative that is not true, for the most part.
“Look, people create narratives that make themselves feel better or simplify things for them.
“That whole ‘This person likes rock ’n’ roll, that person likes jazz. Of course!’
“That’s just not the case. It’s an oversimplification.”
