Jennifer Aniston's dad has praised Justin Theroux as a "charming young man".

The 'Horrible Bosses' actress has been dating the 'Your Highness' star since early this year, and her boyfriend has received the official seal of approval from her dad, 'Days of Our Lives' actor John Aniston.

Speaking of Justin, John told US Weekly magazine: "He's a charming young man. I think they make a wonderful couple. My wife and I get together with them whenever we can."

Jennifer - who was previously married to Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt - was recently introduced to Justin's documentarian cousin Louis Theroux, who gave her the thumbs up.

A source said at the time: "Jennifer looked really chilled out and seemed blissfully happy. 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."

While the couple recently moved into a $3 million, two-bedroom rental home in Hollywood, the 42-year-old star admitted they are in no rush to get married.

She recently explained: "I am not planning to get married any time soon. I've been married once, and I don't know if I'll get married again. But I can tell you that as of this very moment, I have no plan to get married. Got that?"
