Renée Zellweger Attends Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy Premiere with Ant Anstead
Renée Zellweger attended the "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy" premiere in London, accompanied by her partner, Ant Anstead. The premiere took place on Wednesday, January 29, at the Odeon Luxe theater. Zellweger, 55, turned heads in a stunning fuchsia gown featuring a strapless neckline and a flowing train. Interestingly, she sported two bandages on her ring finger, which led to speculation about a possible engagement with Anstead, 45. (Us Weekly has reached out to Zellweger’s representative for comment.)
At the premiere, Zellweger posed for photographs with her co-star Leo Woodall. Woodall, 28, looked stylish in a brown corduroy suit, portraying a love interest of Zellweger's character in the fourth Bridget Jones film. The duo later joined castmates Hugh Grant, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Isla Fisher, and Jim Broadbent for a group photo, showcasing their camaraderie.
Following the premiere, the cast celebrated at an afterparty at London’s Brasserie Zedel. Anstead attended to show his support for Zellweger, who still had the bandages on her finger. Photos from the event published in The Daily Mail showed the couple smiling while leaving together. Anstead dressed in a sharp dark gray three-piece suit for the occasion.
Zellweger and Anstead first sparked romance rumors in June 2021 on the set of Anstead's Discovery+ show, "Celebrity IOU Joyride." Their relationship became public when they appeared together at a California gala later that summer. In April 2023, they celebrated their second anniversary. Anstead commemorated the milestone on Instagram, posting photos with the caption: "Two years of magic 💫💫x."
Around that same time, a source hinted to Us that Zellweger and Anstead were looking towards a shared future. "They both want to settle down and create a home together," the insider stated. "Renée loves his romantic and open nature. It took her some time to find love again, but it has been rewarding, and she is still deeply in love. He truly swept her off her feet."
As Zellweger's relationship with Anstead progressed, her bond with his children strengthened. Anstead shares a 5-year-old son, Hudson, with his ex-wife Christina Haack and has two older children, Amelie, 21, and Archie, 18, from his marriage to Louise Storey.
A source conveyed to Us in July 2023, "Renée gets along well with Ant’s children, and they enjoy spending quality time together." The couple values their privacy despite their public lives. "They enjoy a low-key lifestyle, spending time at home watching movies and cooking together."
