Renée Zellweger and her boyfriend, Ant Anstead, are ‘committed long-term’ to their relationship

The Judy star is famously protective of her private life, but it looks like Renée Zellweger and Ant Anstead are in it for the long haul.

A source told People in March that the couple loves their “quiet family life,” and it’s “a very normal relationship and both are committed long-term.”

“Renée has so many amazing qualities,” the source said. “Ant loves that she is very private. She couldn’t care less about social media. She has integrity and class. She’s kind of old school.”

Zellweger is also content with Anstead and reportedly loves how his mind works. “Renée often goes for guys who think out of the box,” another source told the publication in July. “She’s smart, thoughtful and always looking to expand her horizons and nurture those around her. Sometimes two people just meet and click, and the timing is right.”

Before meeting Zellweger, Anstead was married to HGTV star Christina Hall. The former couple shares one son, a two-year-old named Hudson. Anstead also has two children from his first marriage to Louise Storey. 

Zellweger has been romantically linked to several celebrities, including Bradley Cooper, Jim Carrey, Kenny Chesney, and Jack White.

The actor said her music video debut was ‘joyful’

In the Variety article Ant Anstead shared, Renée Zellweger opened up about what it was like making her music video debut. The Bridget Jones’s Diary star collaborated with singer and filmmaker C M Talkington and director Mark Pellington for the project.

“It was joyful,” Zellweger said of the experience. “It’s joyful to play with your friends. It’s joyful to do creative things with your pals.”

In the video, Zellweger appears alone in a house in the desert at the beginning and end. She dreams up a band that comes to play music with her.
