Renee Zellweger and Ant Anstead Attend ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ Premiere Party in London

Renée Zellweger’s beau, Ant Anstead, joined her at a party for Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy in London.

But first, Zellweger, 55, hit the pink carpet on Wednesday, January 29, for her big movie premiere at the Odeon Luxe theater, wearing a show-stopping fuschia gown with a strapless neckline and long train. 

The actress happily posed for photos with costar Leo Woodall, who wore an on-trend brown corduroy suit. Woodall, 28, plays a love interest for Zellweger’s iconic heroine in the fourth installment of the Bridget Jones film franchise.

Zellweger and Woodall also joined castmates Hugh Grant, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Isla Fisher and James Broadbent on the carpet for a group shot.

Following the premiere, the cast moved on to an afterparty held in London’s Brasserie Zedel. Anstead was there to support Zellweger, who was still wearing those bandages on her finger. The smiling pair were spotted leaving the event, per photos published Wednesday in The Daily Mail. Anstead dressed up for the occasion, sporting a dapper three-piece suit in a dark gray color. 

Zellweger and the British TV personality were first linked in June 2021 after filming an episode of Anstead’s Discovery+ series, Celebrity IOU Joyride. Later that summer, they made their official debut as a couple at a gala in California.

In April 2023, the duo celebrated their second anniversary together. Anstead marked the milestone by sharing a series of photos of the two of them via Instagram. “Two years of magic 💫💫x,” he captioned the post at the time.

That same month, a source exclusively told Us that Zellweger and Anstead were embracing a future together. “They both want to settle down and create a home together,” the insider shared. “Renée loves how romantic, open and honest he is. She does say that it took her a while to find love again, but it was well worth the wait. She’s still giddy in love. He literally swept her off her feet.”

As Anstead and Zellweger’s relationship flourished, her bond with his children has also grown stronger. (Anstead shares 5-year-old son Hudson with ex-wife Christina Haack, to whom he was married for nearly two years. He is also the father of two older children, Amelie, 21, and Archie, 18, with first wife Louise Storey.)

“Renée gets along really well with Ant’s children and they spend a lot of quality time together,” a source told Us in July 2023. “Despite being in the public eye, Renée and Ant love just hanging out at home with the kids, watching movies and making dinner together. They enjoy a very low-key lifestyle.”
