Justin Theroux is officially a dad, and he could not be happier. The 54-year-old actor and his wife, Nicole Brydon Bloom, recently welcomed their first child together, a baby boy. Theroux is now sharing details about his new life as a parent and what he loves most about his newborn son.
The couple announced the birth of their son on April 18, 2026, through a joint Instagram post. The picture showed a shirtless Theroux holding the baby close to his chest. “He’s here 🕊️ we are so in love,” they wrote in the caption. The baby’s name has not been shared with the public.
Theroux spoke about his experience on the Today show on April 23, 2026, bringing along his dog, Kuma. He talked about how life has changed at home and why he loves being a father.
Theroux Shares His Favorite Part of Looking After His Newborn
During the interview, Theroux was asked to describe the best part of having a new baby. He did not hesitate to give a very personal answer about bonding with his son.
“I just love looking into his eyeballs,” Theroux said.
He described the current atmosphere in their home as quiet, with a lot of tiptoeing around. He mentioned that there is occasional crying, but overall, he called the experience “wonderful.”
Theroux explained that fatherhood turned out to be much better than he ever imagined. He recalled how other fathers always told him that he would fall in love the moment he saw the child. Even though he heard this advice, he still wondered if it would actually happen to him.
“The minute he appears, your whole life just starts to revolve around this thing, and your heart just opens up in a beautiful way,” he shared. “So I’m really happy, really happy.”
How the Family Dog Reacted to the New Baby
Many pet owners worry about how their animals will react to a new baby. Theroux reassured viewers that Kuma, his rescue dog, is adjusting very well to her new role as a big sister.
Theroux described the dog’s behavior as “perfect” and “gentle.” He noted that Kuma has not shown any jealousy toward the baby. The actor added that Kuma goes everywhere with him, and her energy around the baby has been great.
