If you haven’t yet heard, Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom tied the knot this month after over two years together!
In the Vogue feature for their wedding, which took place in Xpu Há, Mexico, the couple gave an inside scoop on their big day, and remembered the very first time they met.
They were first introduced in 2022 by their mutual friend Louisa Jacobson (aka Meryl Streep’s daughter) at a private party in NYC. According to Theroux, their connection was instantaneous.
“I pointed her out across the room to my friend Rassi and when he saw her he did a double take, turned to me and literally said, ‘She is the one,’” he remembered. “I had no way of knowing how prescient his comment would turn out to be. I then begged him to go over to collect her name, which like an idiot I had not gotten.”
After the party, Brydon Bloom, Theroux, and their friends continued the night by going to another bar. “It was an abnormally cold night in New York City—about six degrees—and Justin very kindly offered me his gloves, which I gratefully accepted and promptly returned once we were back inside,” Brydon Bloom, who stars in the new Hulu show Paradise, remembered.
A day later, Theroux texted with a picture of him holding a ring of hers. “This yours?” he asked. “It was a picture of him holding my little criss-crossed diamond ring which I had worn, and sadly assumed I’d lost, the night before. Turns out it had slipped off my cold finger into his large gloves when I returned them. Justin put his hands into the glove the next morning and the ring slid halfway onto his finger.”
“He likes to joke that I proposed first, the very first night we met!” she joked. How adorable is that?
At the time, Theroux even speculated is her leaving the ring was part of a ruse to see him again.
“I for sure thought leaving the ring in my glove was a move,” he joked. “Which now, knowing Nicole as well as I do, it certainly was not. She has left more jewelry, jackets, and bags in places than I can count. So, definitely not a move.”
Now, with a new wedding ring on both of their fingers, it’s safe to say everything happens to a reason! Congrats to the happy couple!
