Justin Theroux, 54, welcomes first child, joining Hollywood’s older dads club

Justin Theroux has become a first-time father at 54, revealing on social media that he and his wife, Nicole Brydon Bloom, 32, have welcomed a baby boy. “He’s here… we are so in love,” the couple wrote in a joint post. The pregnancy became public in December 2025, when Bloom posed with a baby bump at the Fallout season 2 premiere.

She later said on the Today show that she shared the news with Theroux over breakfast, recalling with a laugh that they “kind of did the classic thing you see in movies.” Theroux’s milestone places him among a notable group of Hollywood men who have embraced fatherhood later in life — a club that includes Al Pacino, Clint Eastwood and Alec Baldwin.

In recent years, several high-profile stars have expanded their families well into their 50s, 60s and beyond. Shemar Moore was 53 when he and then-girlfriend Jesiree Dizon welcomed their daughter, Frankie Melelina Kapule Moore, on Jan. 24, 2023. A representative said at the time that both mother and baby were healthy and the family was “very happy.” Moore has since shared frequent glimpses of life with his daughter on social media.

Kelsey Grammer, 70, learned in June 2025 that he and wife Kayte Walsh had another child on the way, marking his eighth. The couple welcomed son Christopher in October 2025, their fourth child together, following daughter Faith, 12, and sons Gabriel, 10, and James, 8.

Grammer has said that parenting younger children has helped him reconnect with his older kids from previous relationships, acknowledging he “neglected a couple of the kids” earlier in life and is trying to “make up for a little of it now.” Robert De Niro was 79 when he and Tiffany Chen welcomed daughter Gia in April 2023.

“She’s such an adorable baby. So sweet,” he said in 2024, adding that time with her makes “everything else go away.” De Niro is also father to Drena, born in 1976, and Raphael with his first wife, Diahnne Abbott; twin sons, Julian and Aaron, with Toukie Smith; and son Elliot and daughter Helen Grace with his former wife, Grace Hightower.

Mick Jagger became a father again at 73, when he and Melanie Hamrick welcomed their son, Devereaux, in December 2016. Reflecting on parenting later in life in October 2023, Jagger said he had grown more relaxed with experience.

“You get a bit out of practice — it’s not like riding a bike,” he said, noting that each child’s personality emerges in their own time and that parents can “encourage them to do things they gravitate towards.” For Theroux, the latest to join the ranks of older celebrity dads, the journey is just beginning — one that many of his peers say comes with a deepened perspective and a renewed focus on the day-to-day joys of raising a child.
