Justin Theroux is loving his experience of fatherhood.

The 54-year-old actor recently became a dad for the first time, when his wife Nicole gave birth to a baby boy, and Justin has reflected on his early experiences of parenthood, describing it as "wonderful".

Speaking to E! News, Justin - who married Nicole in 2025 - said: "I’m in heaven. It's so hard to even encapsulate what it feels like.

"But it’s the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me. I can't think of anything that tops it."

Justin has taken a brief break from dad duties to promote his new movie, The Devil Wears Prada 2. But the actor can't wait to spend more time with his baby boy.

Justin - who stars in the new movie alongside Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci - shared: "Soon as the credits roll, I'm out."

Meanwhile, Justin previously explained why he's made a conscious decision to keep his relationship private.

The Hollywood star - who was previously in a long-term relationship with actress Jennifer Aniston - explained why he wants to keep his love life out of the spotlight.

Speaking to Esquire magazine in May 2023, Justin said: "I want all of my relationships to exist within the four walls of whatever room we're in. Having been in a public relationship, it’s much more fun not being in a public relationship."

Justin dated Nicole for around two years before they married in Mexico in 2025.

The couple chose the location for the wedding after spending a weekend at the hotel in 2024 and Nicole told Vogue magazine that it was the perfect destination for their nuptials.

She shared: "We spent February 2024 in Mexico and fell in love with the chic, low-key hotel. The first time I set foot on their jungle paths that led straight out to the perfectly blue ocean, I knew I was somewhere wonderfully unique, secluded, and peaceful, so when choosing our wedding location, it seemed like the obvious place to celebrate.

"We wanted our friends and family to have a taste of our dream weekend in the Mayan Riviera paradise."
