We confirmed that Bloom and Theroux are engaged. Theroux popped the question in Italy, where the couple is for the Venice Film Festival for the actor’s film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
Theroux, 53, and Bloom, 30, were first spotted together in February 2023, when they both attended a Netflix event at the New York City social club Zero Bond. The duo spent the night alongside Tan France and actress Louisa Jacobson, with whom Bloom works on their HBO series, The Gilded Age.

Theroux briefly discussed his preference to keep his romantic relationships private during an interview with Esquire just a few months before their first photographed date night in August. At the time, the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star said 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 in that interview.
Before their red carpet debut at Vanity Fair‘s Oscars Party in March, the Mulholland Driveactor joined Bloom as her date at her twin sister’s wedding in December 2023. They later attended Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup’s nuptials in Mexico City in June 2024.
