Justin Theroux’s wife Nicole Brydon Bloom insisted on keeping his ex Jennifer Aniston away from wedding
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom recently tied the knot in a private beach ceremony, but reports are making waves about the absence of the 'Running Point' actor's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston.
Sources close to the couple reveal that Bloom, 31, had requested Aniston not be invited to the wedding and even prohibited any mention of the 'Friends' star during the event.
Aniston, 56, and Theroux, 53, who first met in 2007, began dating in 2011 and married in an intimate ceremony in 2015. However, the couple got divorced in 2018 after three years of marriage.
Nicole Brydon Bloom 'banned all mentions' of Justin Theroux's ex Jennifer Aniston from wedding
Despite Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s amicable divorce, Nicole Brydon Bloom reportedly felt uneasy about the 'Just Go With It' actress' friendly relationship with her fiance after their split.
Sources revealed that Bloom was uncomfortable with the possibility of Aniston’s presence overshadowing her upcoming wedding.
"The hardest thing for Nicole was the enormous shadow that [Aniston] cast over her dream wedding," an insider shared. "The most common question she was asked in the lead-up was if Jen would be going to the wedding."
To avoid any distractions and ensure the focus remained on their marriage, Bloom imposed strict restrictions, as per Marca.
Reports indicated that Bloom banned any mention of Aniston throughout the event. "In the end, Nicole banned all mention of Jennifer. Anyone working on that wedding was briefed that it would be 'distasteful to mention previous attachments to the happy bride,'" a source revealed.
Despite being excluded, Aniston is said to have congratulated the newlyweds. "Yes, it took her by surprise, but they have maintained a close friendship, and she is happy for him that he has found true love," a source added.

Theroux looked dashing in a classic tuxedo with a cream jacket, black pants, and a black bowtie, while Bloom radiated beauty in a flowing white dress with an open back.
In a September 2024 interview, Theroux recalled his first encounter with Bloom, describing how he was instantly captivated by her, as per People.
"The first impression was wow," he said 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," the actor added.
In May 2023, Theroux spoke about the benefits of keeping relationships private. "I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we're in," he said in an interview with Esquire.
"Having been in a public relationship, it’s much more fun not being in a public relationship," he added.
