New Couple Alert! Ant Anstead Reportedly Dating Renée Zellweger Following Divorce From Christina Haack
Ant Anstead is moving on with an Oscar winner!
The 42-year-old has reportedly started dating actress Renée Zellweger. The two met when the Judy star appeared on an episode of Anstead's new Discovery+ show Celebrity IOU Joyride, according to TMZ.
A source told the outlet that after the new couple "filmed their episode she actually returned to the set at some point to drop off some work boots for Ant." While the insider wouldn't spill how long the duo have been romantic, they confirmed they are officially "going out now."
News of the unexpected coupling comes just days after the reality star finalized his divorce from Flip or Flop star Christina Haack, 37, nine months after the two called it quits.
The Christina On The Coast star and Anstead have both been granted joint legal and physical custody of their 21-month-old son, Hudson. He also has two children, Amelie, 17, and son Archie, 15, from his previous marriage to Louise Anstead.
Haack was previously married to her Flip or Flop costar, Tarek El Moussa, whom she shares Taylor, 10, and Brayden, 5, with.

In September 2020, the mom-of-three revealed she was no longer with the Wheeler Dealers co-host. "Ant and I have made the difficult decision to separate," she captioned a photo of the duo on the beach. "We are grateful for each other and as always, our children will remain our priority. We appreciate your support and ask for privacy for us and our family as we navigate the future."
Zellweger was previously engaged to actor Jim Carrey in 1999 and married to country singer Kenny Chesney in 2005, but four months after saying their "I dos," the couple famously obtained an annulment, citing "fraud" as the reason for their split.
The Bridget Jones Diary star's last high-profile relationship was with musician Doyle Bramhall from 2012-2019.
Celebrity IOU Joyride, a spinoff of Drew and Jonathan Scott's HGTV series Celebrity IOU, will follow Anstead and his co-star Cristy Lee as they help famed individuals give their friends and family one-of-a-kind car transformations. In addition to Zellweger, the host has filmed the show with several celebs including Tony Hawk, James Marsden, Octavia Spencer, Danny Trejo and Mary J. Blige.
