Speaking to Drew Barrymore on her show, The Drew Barrymore Show, he revealed he met his partner the old-fashioned way – in real life.

"Like, we hadn't even met yet. And I was like, 'She's so stunning.' So I went over and started talking and things like that and it progressed."
"That happens?!" Barrymore exclaimed in disbelief, "I go out all the time. I never meet anyone!"
Theroux assuredly replied, "You gotta hang out with me. I'll be your wingperson. I'll take you around. Let's do it."
Theroux recently proposed to Bloom in Italy, People has confirmed.
Bloom, also an actress, joined him at Venice Film Festival as he celebrated his upcoming film, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
The pair were first linked in 2023 and made their public debut at Vanity Fair's Oscars Party.

The smitten pair have kept their relationship relatively private, but the actor said how much he values privacy in an interview with Esquire.
He told the publication: "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."
Theroux was previously married to actress Jennifer Aniston from 2015 to 2018.
He added, "And I'm not trying to be evasive, but I talk to Jen – I don't talk about Jen. People will always want to gossip and say things, but you have to find that balance."
