Renée Zellweger's dating history
Renée is currently in a happy relationship with Ant Anstead and it looks like the two are going to go the distance. The 54-year-old has dated many stars before the British TV personality. Let’s take a look at her romances in the past here:
Jim Carrey
The star who has now disappeared from the film industry met Renée in 1999 on the set of Me, Myself and Irene and dated for one year before breaking up in 2000. Jim later admitted that Renée was ‘special’ to him.
Jack White
Renée met White Stripes rocker Jack White on the set of 2003's Cold Mountain. Despite preferring his hometown of Detroit to Hollywood hot spots, the two dated quietly for more than a year and a half. They mutually decided to split in September 2004, confirms People Magazine.
Kenny Chesney
Kenny Chesney had eyes for Renée long before they met at the Concert of Hope tsunami relief telethon in 2005. Their romance escalated quickly as they tied the knot in May 2005 - after just three months of knowing each other. However, Renée got the marriage annulled in September 2005 citing ‘fraud’ as the reason for the split.
Bradley Cooper
The director who missed an Oscar nomination for Best Director this year dated Renée from 2009 to 2011. The two moved in together in the fall of 2010 after Bradley confessed he ‘loved’ her.
Doyle Bramhall II
Renée‘s longest public relationship was with Doyle Bramhall II. She dated him from 2012 to 2019. In 2015, the actress gushed about her man and claimed she was ‘very happy’ with him.
Renée Zellweger and Ant Anstead
Renée Zellweger and Ant Anstead might have seemed like an unlikely match when they were first linked, but they are about to complete three years together in April this year. They met during the filming of Ant’s Discovery+ show Celebrity IOU Joyride, reports People Magazine.
In June 2021, it was confirmed that the two were dating. Since then Renée has made a place for herself in Ant’s family. She has met his children and often hangs out with them. They were briefly rumoured to be engaged last year, but the couple hasn’t confirmed the news yet.
