Ant Anstead’s Cheeky Comment on ‘Beautiful’ Girlfriend Renee Zellweger

Ant Anstead proved his relationship with Renee Zellweger is going strong with a heartfelt post on Friday.

The 45-year-old British TV host showed his support for his 55-year-old movie star girlfriend by sharing the poster for her upcoming film, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, on his Instagram Story. Alongside the poster, where Renee poses as her iconic character holding a pen and a diary, Ant wrote: “Oh man… she’s so beautiful….!” He added, “That’s my Ren (lucky boy)”, followed by a heart-eye emoji.

Ant and Renee have been together for more than three years after meeting in June 2021 on the set of the Discovery+ series Celebrity IOU: Joyride, which Ant hosted, and Renee was a guest star. Speaking about Renee’s appearance on the show, Ant told Entertainment Tonight: “One thing I think that really comes across in the show, is that this is an opportunity to see a little bit behind the curtain. Renee in particular, she doesn’t give herself freely outside of movies. She’s a very private person, and that’s something I really love about her… I love that she can weld.”

The couple went Instagram official in September 2021, sharing a sweet black and white photo of their smiling faces. However, Ant and Renee prefer to keep their relationship out of the public eye. “Renee and my relationship is something that’s really private,” he previously told People. “It’s something I’m not really willing to talk too much about. It’s really early in our relationship and I don’t want to put any pressure on that.”

While they are notoriously private, Ant has shared several tributes to his girlfriend on social media since they began dating. This includes a proud shout-out to the Chicago actress following her impressive musical debut with singer-songwriter, C M Talkington. Alongside a clip of the debut and a photo, he wrote: “Ren….. you are utterly brilliant! A beautiful and talented genius! The most gorgeous and classy lady who continues to effortlessly tackle inspiring and cool projects in your stride!”

He continued: “The coolest human I know. When an old friend called…. She answered and delivered!”

It’s not just Ant’s heart Renee won over but also his children’s. The Naked Mechanic host shares son Hudson, four, with his ex-wife Christina Hall, and daughter Amelie, 20, and son Archie, 17, with his first wife Louise Storey. Amelie is particularly close to Renee, with Ant telling People: “She and Ren really hit it off. Just as two girls. Amelie’s amazing because she’s so talented and funny, and she has this strand of kindness just running through her. She’s just this really kind, solid human.”

Renee and Ant reportedly live together in California. Despite choosing privacy, it’s clear from Ant’s social media posts that their relationship is filled with mutual admiration and support.
