SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: Renee Zellweger has given an insight into her rather private relationship with Ant Anstead.

The two reportedly started dating after they met in 2021 during the shooting of the Discovery+ series, ‘Celebrity IOU: Joyride’. 

And now the actress has moved away from Los Angeles to be closer to her beau.

During a recent interview with British Vogue, she revealed, “I live in Southern California, near San Diego. Because that’s where my fellow lives, and his little boy.”

Commenting on Renee Zellweger and Ant Anstead’s relationship, a source said, "They’re madly in love, and they want to make it official,” per OK! Magazine.

The source continued, “They’re thinking of an elopement, something very intimate — they don’t like to make a fuss. She and Ant are looking for a place to stay in London while Renee is working there.”

“They may even look for something more permanent and split their time between England and the States," they revealed.

"Ant wasn’t able to take Hudson to Britain until last year because of custody restrictions, but now he can, so he and Renee will definitely be spending more time there,” the tipster added.

Besides, another mole shared, “Renee’s friends believe this relationship is one of the best and healthiest she’s ever been in. They’ve never seen her so at peace.”

"They spend a lot of time at home, taking care of Hudson. Occasionally, they’ll dress up and go out, but it’s usually for one of Ant’s auto events rather than a Hollywood party," they stated.

Ant Anstead was previously married to Christina Haack with whom he shares five-year-old son, Hudson.

When the TV presenter met the ‘Bridget Jones Diary’ star, he had just settled his divorce with Haack. 

At the time, he said, as per E! News, “There's a choice that we all make. You either dwell in it or you look forward and I'm a forward-facing positive person. I've got so many great things on the horizon.”

Later in an interview with People, Anstead said, “I mean, there's no hiding it. Everyone knows that Renee and I are dating.”

He also noted at the time, “I'm really grateful to the show because these amazing things happen in your world and sometimes when things collide, they collide at the most obscure times when you least expect them. And that's what happened in this case.”

“I'm grateful for that,” the 45-year-old, who also shares 18-year-old Amelie and 15-year-old Archie with ex-wife Louise Storey, added.
