LMAO she is so sketchy

https://www.williams-sonoma.com/registry/5tkfnkjhmh/registry-list.html

I'm guessing her engagement didn't last very long, since so few items were purchased. Wonder if she got to keep the $900 espresso machine!

Anyway, she wouldn't have needed much to move into Theroux's fancy duplex that Jen Aniston paid to renovate soup to nuts.

My suspicion is that this website was registered under the fiancé's email address and he never removed it from the public website. 10 bucks says she's sent him a few terse emails over the years asking him to remove it.

She totally dumped her fiancé for Justin Theroux.

I think Theroux is bright and can be very charming when he wants to be, but there's also so much shady stuff out there about him. She must have been enthusiastic about his relative wealth and fame. But I still don't get it. He's practically geriatric compared to her and her ex-fiance, who is so much more handsome and seemingly normal.

She wants the lifestyle. She can easily secure her wealth and fame now, pop out a few kids, and then divorce and move on very easily. Sort of like Christine Baumgartner and Kevin Costner.

I think she takes wealth as a given. Her stepfather is definitely wealthy, evidence of affluent lifestyle clear in mom's insta. She was never going to marry a poor man. But I think her main interest is fame and a successful acting career. She's had smaller roles in prestige projects, but Paradise plus the Theroux relationship ups her visibility in a desirable way. The funny thing is this never would have been possible had Jennifer Aniston not taken a liking to Theroux. His PR and red carpet photos had no value until then. He's still more interesting because he's Jennifer's ex not in his own right (despite his outstanding work in the Leftovers). And no one would be interested in her if it weren't for Theroux. They're all playing the fame game.

I'm not surprised she moved on from the ex-fiancé in finance to Theroux, based on her recent career success. The ex might be wealthy and connected, but he has an actual job in NYC that probably involves long hours and a decent amount of travel and stress. If you were an actress just starting to get real traction for jobs, would you want to be tied to that? It would cause friction almost immediately. Especially if he wanted kids and family. She's at a phase in her career where she needs to be mobile and flexible so she can take the best opportunities available. If she gets a job on a movie with the right director and it's filming in Romania for 3 months, she should go. If she landed a White Lotus role that required her to move to Thailand for 6 months (as the cast of the current season did), then she should take it. And even smaller demands -- she'll need to be bicoastal in a real way to take advantage of opportunities in NY and LA. What kind of impact would that have on a new marriage between two people in their early-30s, one of whom has a pretty traditional job in an office? It would never have worked.

So while she seems obnoxious and the age difference with Theroux is gross, I get it. I'm sure the fact that Theroux is also an actor was very appealing to her. Yes, I have no doubt the industry connections were appealing, but I also bet she just liked being with someone who does what she does, understands the demands of the industry, has been through what she is currently going through with his own career. And their lifestyle is so much more flexible than anything she could have had with the ex. Theroux is a lot less likely to be bothered by her taking jobs all over the world or having to travel last minute for things. They can both view the PR and red carpet part of the job professionally and comfortably, as they are both performers (whereas her ex would have had to view it all as an outsider and I think that can be extremely alienating for civilians). Here's this spread in Vogue that whores out their wedding, and serves as major PR for both of them (these photos essentially serve as headshots for potential jobs, show how attractive they are and how they look in certain clothes, it's a stealthy way to get directors and casting directors to think about them and look at them in a certain light) -- the NYT Vows piece that would have accompanied her wedding to finance guy would not have been as professionally useful to her.

So yeah, it's a little icky, but I guess it bothers me less than when normies go into marriages like this. Actors are a different species, they have different relationship needs, especially in skyrocketing careers. This honestly might be the best possible person for either of them to marry right now. They have way more in common with each other than either would have with anyone outside Hollywood.

Let’s get real. Neither of them have “skyrocketing” careers. I’ve never even heard of her until this wedding.

I think PP makes a lot of good points. He got a lot of exposure from Aniston, which helped his career. He works steadily as a character actor, even if he isn't the leading man type. The Leftovers showed he could be, but for whatever reason he's not on that track and is aging out anyway. Her career is on the verge of taking off. The Paradise role, though supporting, is a meaty one that shows she's not just a cute face. If she gets lucky and chooses well, she could be on track to have a successful career. They're both career- and NY-focused, so do have a lot in common. He never had to whore himself out with Aniston, all handed to him on a silver platter, but he's okay with doing it now to help his and Nicole's careers now since they're not in the same league. Even with a good amount in common, don't think they'll last. They will each prioritize career, and one or both will inevitably cheat at some point. Probably him, but wouldn't shock me if she tries to trade up at some point.

It’s a little hard to believe he will. He had a very small role on the Mindy making Kate Hudson quirky comedy running point. I think he is trying to get some steady work but if he was being considered for big meaty roles I don’t see him signing on to this.

He’s had a respectable career but i don’t see him on the verge of breaking big at this point.

Yeah, I think they both have reason to hustle.

Theroux is a legitimately good actor and is hitting an age that can be very fruitful for male actors. Not sure if he'll get it, but I could see him doing some of his best work in his 50s. He's handsome but still distinct looking, and he does "tortured" very well. We'll see if the right roles find him.

She has featured roles on two very high profile, buzzy shows -- The Gilded Age and Paradise. Her role on Paradise is particularly meaty and looks to be much bigger in the second season than the first. Not sure if she'll be back for the next season of Gilded Age but if so, it's promising because she's playing a character about whom there was a big reveal, so she could get some good scenes. She's working with people like Louisa Jacobson (one of the Streep daughters, was in the wedding), Carrie Coon, and Sterling K. Brown. She's really well positioned, professionally. She's kind of hovering right at that level that Maude Apatow is at, hasn't quite had the breakout role that will catapult her (like Aimee Lou Wood just got in White Lotus) but is getting roles and any of them could do it.

I am enjoying Justin‘s very minor role in running point, but I don’t take him all that seriously and I’m betting they’re not going to have kids and will in a few years.

She has publicly stated multiple times that she wanted children. Yes, there are tons of options for the wealthy, but it didn’t work out for her.

I feel like there’s some societal pressure, she is America’s sweetheart, to say she wanted kids. come on, if Jen Aniston wanted kids, she would have them. to be like oh it just didn’t work out is silly.

It sounds like she went through IVF maybe with Brad and that didn’t work out. I’ll give you that. But beyond that she has tons of options and we all know it.

I’m wealthy enough to have had all the options that Jen had, and I desperately wanted kids and didn’t have them. Sometimes it really doesn’t work out. She’s said that she didn’t want to be a single mother. (FTR, I was fine with being a single mother and it STILL didn’t happen). She tried with Brad and with Justin. It didn’t happen for her.

I’m not saying that Jen is a tragic figure. She seems to be at peace and happy with her life. But I dislike the idea that anyone can be a parent if they’re rich or patient enough.

I don’t think that she tried with Justin. I think that was just a play in the media to keep people talking and speculating. I don’t think either of them want to have kids and it’s just really weird that they’ve both reached their mid 50s and we’re just like, so sad that they haven’t had kids! Is it that hard to admit that maybe some people like doing other things in life besides having kids? I absolutely love being a mom, but it’s not beyond the grasp of possibility to me that other people would not choose this.

She specifically said she went though a lot, tried every tea and treatment but it didn't work out. And that all the speculation and scrutiny was especially hard in this context. I don't think she was lying. And Justin jumped right in to support her statement. I think it's true she didn't want to be a single mom, like her mom, and it just didn't happen in the context of the stable family unit she wanted.

Right, I think she was talking about a phase in her life. I don’t think that she met that from age 25 through 50 she was constantly trying to have babies. I think she went through a period of infertility where she tried to have kids and then gave up.

You really can’t convince me that she and Justin wanted kids. Nothing about their lifestyle said that. Justin left a 14 year-old relationship with a younger woman to be with Jenn who was older and had a documented history of infertility. They were both really into their dogs and remain that way to this day. I really don’t think they ever intended to have kids. I also don’t think they were ever legally married.

...agreed. They were living bicoastal too. I took her allure interview as her saying it was a miss opportunity to try when she was younger but it wasn't something she was dwelling on. I hope she finds someone too.

Only towards the end bicoastal. He was in LA more than people know.

His hair dye and affected style don’t make him good looking at all.

+1 they could've did without tellings some of those stories like how his his friends thought she would be the one and how she "accidentally" left her ring in his glove.

I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling some sadness for Jennifer in this moment either. I've been in her position and it sucks. My daughter overheard her step mom praising how supportive my ex has been to me since i am, in her words, lonely spinster LOL. The support in question? Us catching up every so often. One of the downfalls of being close to an ex

Perhaps Theroux is also missing a “sensitivity chip”

Guess he’s not close to his father, and Louis didn’t make it either. I think I saw a glimpse of Naomi Watts. Billy Crudup is a good friend of his.

"Victoria and David Beckham are his friends and she offered to help design my dress" the whole thing was nauseating.

Obviously the celebrity friends are all his, and she swiftly (ha ha) considered them hers too. But either she’s a complete phony or she grew up with money. No 30 year old working actress without any blockbuster parts talks the way she does in this obnoxious piece without having been to the manor born. Mother or paternal grandparents must have real money. Which is definitely something Theroux would like. I wonder if he didn’t invite his father or his father refused to come. I remember Jen A mentioning his mom but not his dad.

Her dad is David Bloom, NBC reporter who unexpectedly died in Iraq at age 39. She’s been around the business all her life. Mom went on to raise awareness of DVT and step dad I believe is into high end real estate.

It was definitely an obnoxious and pretentious piece in Vogue. I hate the brand and name dropping. One dress was a custom color

Maybe she's not so smug in person. There were 97! pictures in the article. I got bored and couldn't finish looking at them.

I honestly don't get it. How do two lesser-known actors merit this kind of spread?

One was married to Jennifer Aniston and he other has a supposed hit on Hulu. And great PR agencies.

This is just very puzzling to me.

I think there's a lot of chemistry between them looking at their pap pics but their age difference is also apparent. It's nasty.

I don’t see it. He said something like the instant he saw her he knew she was the one. Looking at her she just seems so bland to me. And some of those pictures just looked awkward.

I said upthread she's really not a looker, is just young and thin with nice skin. But he obviously likes her. He's not a super demonstrative guy (wasn't with Jen Aniston either), but he seems smitten to me. Has to reconcile that with his need to be "cool," of course.

She looks childlike. He looks like he could be her father. It is gross.

Maybe that is it. Her whole persona is rather childlike. Maybe that is why it feels so off.

But she's not a child - she's 30. So you've got to let that go.

No, we really don’t. The age gap is stark and it looks gross.

But this is a tale as old as time and this dynamic will never change. Older men like younger woman in general. Always. And many woman are attracted to older men. Can’t change this no matter how we judge.

Because after menopause, most women are not interested in sex. And the HW ladies who say it’s still great after sixty are lying or getting a lot of hormone treatments that most doctors won’t prescribe for the average person.

LMAO she is so sketchy

https://www.williams-sonoma.com/registry/5tkfnkjhmh/registry-list.html

I'm guessing her engagement didn't last very long, since so few items were purchased. Wonder if she got to keep the $900 espresso machine!

Anyway, she wouldn't have needed much to move into Theroux's fancy duplex that Jen Aniston paid to renovate soup to nuts.

My suspicion is that this website was registered under the fiancé's email address and he never removed it from the public website. 10 bucks says she's sent him a few terse emails over the years asking him to remove it.

She totally dumped her fiancé for Justin Theroux.

I think Theroux is bright and can be very charming when he wants to be, but there's also so much shady stuff out there about him. She must have been enthusiastic about his relative wealth and fame. But I still don't get it. He's practically geriatric compared to her and her ex-fiance, who is so much more handsome and seemingly normal.

She wants the lifestyle. She can easily secure her wealth and fame now, pop out a few kids, and then divorce and move on very easily. Sort of like Christine Baumgartner and Kevin Costner.

I think she takes wealth as a given. Her stepfather is definitely wealthy, evidence of affluent lifestyle clear in mom's insta. She was never going to marry a poor man. But I think her main interest is fame and a successful acting career. She's had smaller roles in prestige projects, but Paradise plus the Theroux relationship ups her visibility in a desirable way. The funny thing is this never would have been possible had Jennifer Aniston not taken a liking to Theroux. His PR and red carpet photos had no value until then. He's still more interesting because he's Jennifer's ex not in his own right (despite his outstanding work in the Leftovers). And no one would be interested in her if it weren't for Theroux. They're all playing the fame game.

I'm not surprised she moved on from the ex-fiancé in finance to Theroux, based on her recent career success. The ex might be wealthy and connected, but he has an actual job in NYC that probably involves long hours and a decent amount of travel and stress. If you were an actress just starting to get real traction for jobs, would you want to be tied to that? It would cause friction almost immediately. Especially if he wanted kids and family. She's at a phase in her career where she needs to be mobile and flexible so she can take the best opportunities available. If she gets a job on a movie with the right director and it's filming in Romania for 3 months, she should go. If she landed a White Lotus role that required her to move to Thailand for 6 months (as the cast of the current season did), then she should take it. And even smaller demands -- she'll need to be bicoastal in a real way to take advantage of opportunities in NY and LA. What kind of impact would that have on a new marriage between two people in their early-30s, one of whom has a pretty traditional job in an office? It would never have worked.

So while she seems obnoxious and the age difference with Theroux is gross, I get it. I'm sure the fact that Theroux is also an actor was very appealing to her. Yes, I have no doubt the industry connections were appealing, but I also bet she just liked being with someone who does what she does, understands the demands of the industry, has been through what she is currently going through with his own career. And their lifestyle is so much more flexible than anything she could have had with the ex. Theroux is a lot less likely to be bothered by her taking jobs all over the world or having to travel last minute for things. They can both view the PR and red carpet part of the job professionally and comfortably, as they are both performers (whereas her ex would have had to view it all as an outsider and I think that can be extremely alienating for civilians). Here's this spread in Vogue that whores out their wedding, and serves as major PR for both of them (these photos essentially serve as headshots for potential jobs, show how attractive they are and how they look in certain clothes, it's a stealthy way to get directors and casting directors to think about them and look at them in a certain light) -- the NYT Vows piece that would have accompanied her wedding to finance guy would not have been as professionally useful to her.

So yeah, it's a little icky, but I guess it bothers me less than when normies go into marriages like this. Actors are a different species, they have different relationship needs, especially in skyrocketing careers. This honestly might be the best possible person for either of them to marry right now. They have way more in common with each other than either would have with anyone outside Hollywood.

Let’s get real. Neither of them have “skyrocketing” careers. I’ve never even heard of her until this wedding.

I think PP makes a lot of good points. He got a lot of exposure from Aniston, which helped his career. He works steadily as a character actor, even if he isn't the leading man type. The Leftovers showed he could be, but for whatever reason he's not on that track and is aging out anyway. Her career is on the verge of taking off. The Paradise role, though supporting, is a meaty one that shows she's not just a cute face. If she gets lucky and chooses well, she could be on track to have a successful career. They're both career- and NY-focused, so do have a lot in common. He never had to whore himself out with Aniston, all handed to him on a silver platter, but he's okay with doing it now to help his and Nicole's careers now since they're not in the same league. Even with a good amount in common, don't think they'll last. They will each prioritize career, and one or both will inevitably cheat at some point. Probably him, but wouldn't shock me if she tries to trade up at some point.

I don’t know about her. Maybe she will take off.

It’s a little hard to believe he will. He had a very small role on the Mindy making Kate Hudson quirky comedy running point. I think he is trying to get some steady work but if he was being considered for big meaty roles I don’t see him signing on to this.

He’s had a respectable career but i don’t see him on the verge of breaking big at this point.

He said, while still married to Jen that doing the same part for years would not be for him (perhaps a slap in the face to Jen) so I don’t think he wants steady work. He considers him self a character. Also doesn’t think being married to Jen did anything for his career. He’s a complete a—hole.

Not sure if he'll get it, but I could see him doing some of his best work in his 50s. He's handsome but still distinct looking, and he does "tortured" very well. We'll see if the right roles find him.

She has featured roles on two very high profile, buzzy shows -- The Gilded Age and Paradise. Her role on Paradise is particularly meaty and looks to be much bigger in the second season than the first. Not sure if she'll be back for the next season of Gilded Age but if so, it's promising because she's playing a character about whom there was a big reveal, so she could get some good scenes. She's working with people like Louisa Jacobson (one of the Streep daughters, was in the wedding), Carrie Coon, and Sterling K. Brown. She's really well positioned, professionally. She's kind of hovering right at that level that Maude Apatow is at, hasn't quite had the breakout role that will catapult her (like Aimee Lou Wood just got in White Lotus) but is getting roles and any of them could do it.

She is a Nepo baby. Only time will tell if she’s got what it takes to stick it out. She may or she may not.

A lot of it is just luck and probably willing to take on less glamorous roles that get you more attention. If she’s willing to work hard and she is a true talent it might work out. Absent that, she’s competing with dozens of dozens of young women from the age of 25 to 35 who could get the next big role she wants.

Patrick Schwarzenegger has a role in the white Lotus. That series is notoriously hard to get. Michelle Monaghan, who is a well established very successful actor said she cried when she actually got the role. It is coveted. Do we really think Patrick got it because he’s so talented and hard-working, no of course not. He’s doing fine in the role because it’s probably some version of himself, but he’s a nothing special actor and I think this will probably be the biggest thing that he does. We’ll see if….Nicole is it? fares better.

They both come across as so pretentious in the Vogue piece, good god. I don't know how Jennifer Aniston tolerated him. Despite her insane wealth, she is self-deprecating and seems down to earth by comparison.

A 50-something NYC douche marries a 30yo model/actress. How original.

The Vogue piece obviously was done to create buzz for any upcoming projects. Interesting choice for a guy who said he preferred his relationships to be kept quiet and contained with the four walls of whatever room they're in.

Also, he looks hella old.
