Christina Hall's Ex Ant Anstead Gives Girlfriend Renée Zellweger a 'Bridget Jones' Shoutout

Renée Zellweger is mad about her boy—and his family.

The Oscar winner turned the Jan. 29 London premiere of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy into a family affair by bringing along her boyfriend, Ant Anstead, two of his children, Amelie Anstead, 20, and Archie Anstead, 18, as well as his parents, Nigel Anstead and Sue Anstead.

Wearing a vintage, pink, strapless Pierre Balmain Fall 2000 haute couture gown with a long train, Renée spent time chatting with her boyfriend of three years chatting with her partner's kids and parents on the red carpet. While Ant did not join them on the carpet itself, he was on-hand to celebrate as she and Renée at the premiere's after-party together.

Amelie shared several family pics from the evening on social media, as well as a video of most of the group chatting with Renée's longtime Bridget Jones costar, Hugh Grant, on the red carpet.

While Renée and Ant have been dating since 2021, when they met filming his Discovery+ series Celebrity IOU: Joyride, the duo have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight.

However, Renée coyly made reference to her longtime love—who is also a dad to son Hudson London Anstead, who he shares with ex-wife Christina Haack—when sharing insight into how her relationship plays into the place she calls home.

"I live in Southern California, near San Diego," the 55-year-old told Grant in an interview published in British Vogue Jan. 15. "Because that’s where my fellow lives, and his little boy."

And her fellow is her biggest cheerleader. "The missus was busy being brilliant this summer…..she's a bloomin Bridget genius!" Ant wrote on his Instagram in November, sharing a trailer for Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. "Oh And Leo… we need to quiet chat down a dark alleyway… x."
