Justin Theroux has spoken out for the first time since tying the knot with Jennifer Aniston.

The pair – who became engaged in August 2012 – exchanged vows earlier this month in a secret ceremony at their Los Angeles mansion, officiated by chat show host and old pal Jimmy Kimmel.

Justin told people of being a husband: “It does feel different.”

He added: “I’m very happy. It’s nice to be able to look down and see a new piece of jewellery on my finger.”

Justin, 44, and Jennifer, 46, began dating in 2011 after meeting on the film Wanderlust.

Jennifer recently attended the premiere of her new movie She’s Funny That Way where she showed off her dazzling new wedding ring.

Guests at the wedding included shock jock Howard Stern, Ellen DeGeneres, Whitney Cummings and Orlando Bloom, while singer Sia performed at the ceremony.

At the time of their engagement, three years ago, Justin’s spokesman said: “Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage.”
