'Moments of magic': Ant Anstead gives rare glimpse into romance with GF Renee Zellweger with sweet social media post
LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA: Ant Anstead gave fans a rare glimpse into his relationship with girlfriend Renee Zellweger on Friday, January 27. Even though the couple has kept their romance relatively low-key, the 'Wheeler Dealers' star, 43, openly displayed his love for the Oscar-winning actress, 53, in an Instagram post. In the photo, the two appear to be dancing on a patio in the evening while gazing into each other's eyes.
The father-of-three wrote in the caption, "Always Pause for moments of magic under twinkly lights…" In the sweet snap, the two are dressed for a night out, with Zellweger rocking a long blazer, a black dress, and metallic stilettos, while Anstead is wearing a gray suit and white Converse sneakers.

Looking into each other's eyes, the couple appeared more in love than ever. Although slightly blurry, the image plainly showed Anstead gripping the 'Bridget Jones Diary' star's waist with tenderness.
The 'Celebrity IOU Joyride' presenter also provided a brief look at the 'Judy' actress when he posted some Instagram pictures during a vacation to the UK earlier in January. Fans saw Zellweger in the background of a picture of Anstead's 3-year-old son Hudson (whom he shares with ex-wife Christina Hall) learning how to play cricket, wearing her beloved orange University of Texas baseball helmet and gray cargo pants.
"It's merely my parental duty to teach Hudzo British sports," Anstead captioned the post. In addition to Hudson, Anstead is also a dad to daughter Amelie, 19, and son Archie, 16.
The couple first met after Zellweger filmed an episode of 'Celebrity IOU Joyride' that aired in August 2021. A source told PEOPLE that the two quickly hit it off and have a lot in common. "Sometimes two people just meet and click, and the timing is right," the insider said. "Renee is creative ... and often goes for guys who think out of the box. She's smart, thoughtful, and always looking to expand horizons and nurture those around her."
Anstead expressed how he was happy that his show had brought them together. "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," said Anstead. "And that's what happened in this case."
