In love since June 2020, Renée Zellweger has never seemed so happy! The actress of Bridget Jones Diarywho has experienced several slumps in his career and in his personal life, has now found happiness alongside British television presenter Ant Anstead and does not hesitate to appear with him.
But their meeting could never have happened! Indeed, according to the last interview of the American actress in the magazine Harper’s Bazaar, it all starts… from an error on his part. Indeed, while his film Judy has just been released at the cinema (for which she will win an Oscar a few months later), she is watching a television program in which Brad Pitt surprises his friends by completely redoing their garage.
Devastated by the death of her friend Nanci Ryder, an advertiser who had died of Charcot’s disease a few months earlier, she found the idea good and signed up to participate in the show and thank the nurses who attended the last months of his friend. Only here, nothing to do with Brad Pitt, since it is registered in the derived version of the emission, which dealt with… cars.
A mistake she could have regretted but the show she finally subscribed to is presented by Ant Anstead and love at first sight occurs between the two. Asked about the fact that her deceased friend is finally at the origin of a beautiful story, Renée Zellweger completely agreed. “We often joke about it“, she says. “She was someone who always did her best so it makes me smile to think about that, to think that maybe it’s her, yeah“.
Aged 10 years younger than her, her new boyfriend has already been married twice and is the father of three children, two boys and a girl. The actress, meanwhile, never wanted children, which did not prevent her from immediately getting along with her boyfriend’s teenagers. “They had seen each other many, many times over FaceTime, so the first time they saw each other, it wasn’t really like I was introducing her ‘Hey, here’s the new woman of my life’“, he said in an interview.
“It happened very naturally, it was really nice. Everyone got together for three weeks, we turned off the phones and we just spent time together. It was very cool“A blended family that gets along well, on the other hand, don’t talk to them about marriage!”Absolutely not“, reacted the British presenter. “I mean… We have plenty of time, don’t we?“
