Academy Award-winning actress Renee Zellweger’s recent red carpet appearance has led to speculation about a possible engagement to her longtime partner, British television presenter Ant Anstead.

The 55-year-old actress attended the London premiere of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy on Wednesday, wearing a striking fuchsia pink gown. However, attention shifted to her left hand, where two bandages covered her ring finger, prompting speculation that a ring might be concealed beneath.

Zellweger and Anstead, 45, have been in a relationship since 2021. Though Anstead did not walk the red carpet, the couple was later seen leaving the afterparty together at Brasserie Zedel, displaying affectionate gestures.

Anstead, who is based in Southern California, shares a five-year-old son, Hudson, with his ex-wife, television personality Christina Haack. He also has two older children, Amelie, 21, and Archie, 18, from his previous marriage to Louise Anstead.

Zellweger recently shared insights into their relationship in an interview with British Vogue, mentioning that she resides near San Diego to be close to Anstead and his son.

Fans have previously speculated about a possible secret marriage after Anstead referred to Zellweger as his “missus” in multiple social media posts. In July 2023, The US Sun reported that the couple was planning a private wedding, with sources describing their relationship as strong and committed.

Zellweger was previously married to country singer Kenny Chesney for four months in 2005. She was also engaged to actor Jim Carrey from 1999 to 2000 and has been linked to actor Bradley Cooper.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is set to release in theaters on February 14, 2025.
