THE PHOTOS THAT BROKE JEN'S HEART!

Ex Justin crushes reunion hopes as he goes public with a new love

Holding hands and kissing as they finished up a romantic night out in New York, Justin Theroux and his beautiful brunette date looked to be swept up in an exciting new romance. But seeing pictures of the hands-on outing is bound to crush Justin’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, who just weeks ago was said to be hopeful of a possible reunion.

Justin, 52, is clearly ready to tell the world about his romance with young actress Nicole Brydon Bloom, 29, with the pair laughing and kissing as they left a night of dining at Altro Paradiso restaurant. The flirty pair also stopped in at trendy Ray’s bar, which Justin co-owns with Succession star Nicholas Braun.

THE REUNION’S OFF

The budding romance comes after reports that Jen, 54, and Justin had been spending time together again, five years after they divorced.

“Justin was waiting for a green light from Jen,” an insider tells us. “He would never blindside her with something like this because he knows they were talking about a reunion as recently as last year, when her dad died.

“So yes, this has been a difficult situation for Jen to come to terms with, but Justin doesn’t want to lie to her about the fact he’s moving on.”

Turns out the actor has been hanging out with Nicole since at least February, with the pair photographed together at a Netflix event at New York club Zero Bond.
