Theroux, 54, and his wife Nicole Brydon Bloom announced the arrival of their baby boy on Saturday through a joint Instagram post, writing simply, “He’s here, we are so in love.” The announcement quickly drew attention across social media, including a quiet but telling reaction from Aniston, who “liked” the post alongside several other well-known names.
The small gesture was widely viewed by fans as a warm and supportive acknowledgment from the 57-year-old Friends star, especially given the complicated emotional backdrop surrounding the topic of children in her own life. Aniston has previously spoken candidly about her long and difficult journey with fertility, including years of IVF treatments and the eventual acceptance that motherhood would not come for her in the way she once hoped.
Despite that personal history, she has worked to make peace with the outcome, often reflecting on it with honesty and emotional clarity. In interviews, she has described the experience as deeply painful but ultimately something she could no longer control, choosing instead to focus on acceptance and self-understanding.
Aniston and Theroux finalized their separation in 2017 after a brief marriage, though they have generally maintained a respectful post-divorce relationship. Since then, both have moved on romantically, with Theroux now married to Bloom, and Aniston currently linked to hypnotist Jim Curtis.
Theroux’s announcement marks a new chapter for him and Bloom, who have been adjusting to life as new parents while balancing their busy careers. Meanwhile, Aniston’s simple “like” on the post stood out as a quiet moment of acknowledgment—brief, understated, but widely interpreted as a gracious gesture from one chapter of her life to another.
