Nicole Brydon Bloom is busier than ever! After making her mark in The Gilded Age, the actress has been promoting the Hulu hit, Paradise, in which she stars alongside Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden and Julianne Nicholson.
Away from the cameras, Nicole, 30, is also a blushing bride-to-be after getting engaged to Justin Theroux last year. The A-lister, who has a 23-year age gap with his fiancée, is internationally recognised for his roles in American Psycho (2000), Mulholland Drive (2001) and The Girl on the Train (2016).

The pair had been spotted at a Netflix event held at the New York social club Zero Bond, but the nature of their relationship was unclear. During the festivities, Justin and Nicole were photographed with her Gilded Age co-star Louisa Jacobson and Queer Eye's Tan France.

Closer than ever, by December, Justin had served as Nicole's date at the wedding of her sister, Christine McQuade. The Wanderlust actor even brought his dog, Kuma along to the reception.
An inseparable pair, Nicole and Justin made their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2024, and three months later, she joined him at Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup's wedding in Mexico City.

Nicole had joined her beau to promote Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice and was seen sporting an emerald-cut engagement ring at The 81st Venice International Film Festival. The four-carat sparkler had both Justin's and Nicole's birthstones embedded in the band.

Justin has also been quizzed about the moment, telling The Times: "It is a question after all, so the answer isn't guaranteed. But it was wonderful."
More recently, the loved-up couple appeared at the LA premiere of Justin's Netflix series, Running Point. Photographed on February 13, the duo were seen laughing together as they headed to the red carpet. Nicole followed up with a post on Instagram, where she congratulated her fiance on his latest project.
