Reports may say that they’re already having issues and on the verge of breaking up, but word online has it that things couldn’t be better between Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston. In fact, he even took her to meet the family just recently.

While in London to promote her latest film, “Horrible Bosses,” Jen made the first series of public appearances with Justin as her date, as they were photographed repeatedly holding hands – a first for the media-shy couple.

There’s even more: she also got to meet his family, Us Weekly writes. This can only mean that things are heading in the right direction, contrary to tabloid reports claiming otherwise.

“Justin Theroux introduced girlfriend Jennifer Aniston to his documentarian cousin, Louis Theroux, in London on Wednesday night, an observer tells Us Weekly,” the publication writes.

Apparently, the meeting took place right after the film premiere. Afterwards, Jennifer and Justin were photographed leaving Shoreditch House, where the afterparty took place, hand in hand.

“According to the witness, Justin’s cousin Louis joined the pair half an hour after their arrival [there],” the publication says.

As per the same insider, Justin’s cousin really liked Jennifer. Not that she’s be that difficult to love, come to think of it.

“Louis obviously approved [of Jennifer]. It looked like they were having a great time, and they all seemed instantly at ease with each other. Justin looked proud of Jen and seemed quite manly and protective,” the spy further says.

The three had dinner and drinks together, after which Jen and Justin left. The next day, they left London and came back to LA.

Aniston “was really chilled out and seemed blissfully happy,” the source says. If what unnamed sources are telling the tabs is true, she has every reason to be so: admittedly, she’s so happy with Justin that they’re looking for a new place to rent or buy so that they can move in together.
