In a celebrity pairing no-one saw coming, Oscar-winning actress Renée Zellweger is now dating British TV presenter Ant Anstead.

According to TMZ, Renée, 52, and Ant, 42, first met earlier this month when they were both filming an episode of Ant’s new Discovery+ show Celebrity IOU Joyride, and seemingly hit it off with one another.

The outlet claims that romantic sparks began to fly between the pair when Renée returned to set after filming their episode to ‘drop off some work boots’ for Ant. 

Ant is also father to two children – son Archie, 14; and daughter Amelie, 17 – from his 12-year marriage to Louise Anstead, which ended in 2017.  

Celebrity IOU Joyride is a new series that sees Ant help celebrities gift their loved-ones a one-of-a-kind car transformation, and features stars like Mary J. Blige, Octavia Spender, and Danny Trejo.

However, it seems that Renée was the standout celeb guest for Ant. 

Renée was last linked to singer-songwriter Doyle Bramhall II, who she started dating in 2012, two years after he had split from his ex-wife with whom he shares two children. 

In 2017, she told UsWeekly that Doyle was a ‘very special person’ but in May 2019, reports emerged that they had split.
