Ant Anstead Shares Rare Photo of Renée Zellweger With His Son in Sweet Birthday Tribute

Ant Anstead marked his son Hudson’s 7th birthday by giving fans a seldom-seen glimpse of the youngster sharing sweet moments with Anstead’s girlfriend, Renée Zellweger.

The former “Wheeler Dealers” host posted an Instagram tribute on Sunday, compiling photos and videos from Hudson’s childhood — including a handful of warm appearances by Zellweger alongside the birthday boy.

One standout image showed Anstead, Zellweger and Hudson smiling together for a selfie, with both adults wearing colorful leis around their necks.

Zellweger, 57, leaned into the playful celebration with oversized, jewel-covered heart sunglasses and a tiny ringleader-style hat, while Hudson grinned in a handmade yellow paper crown decorated with rhinestones.

The birthday montage also featured a beachside clip of Zellweger and Hudson running together, along with separate snapshots of the pair posing happily by the shoreline.

“Hudzo, you were born with a light! An unmistakable GLOW around you! You shine with a beautiful blend of fun, cheekiness, love and so much kindness!” Anstead, 47, wrote in the caption.

“You are an utterly brilliant boy, and it is a privilege to watch you grow and thrive. I love being your father! Happy 7th birthday, Hudzo. Keep on GLOWING! X.”

Anstead shares Hudson with his ex-wife, Christina Haack, 43, whom he married in December 2018 before they announced their separation in September 2020.

The exes finalized their divorce in June 2021, and just days later, Anstead began dating Zellweger after the pair met on the set of “Celebrity IOU: Joyride.”

Anstead went Instagram-official with the “Bridget Jones’s Diary” actress in August 2021, sharing a selfie with Zellweger to promote her appearance on the premiere episode of the discovery+ series and calling her “incredibly magical” in the caption.

Throughout their relationship, Zellweger has shared plenty of moments with Hudson.

In January 2025, she revealed to British Vogue that she had moved to “Southern California, near San Diego,” to be closer to Anstead and his son, explaining, “because that’s where my fellow lives, and his little boy.”

Zellweger has also been part of Hudson’s birthday celebrations over the years.

In September 2022, Anstead revealed that she “helped plan” his son’s 3rd birthday party, referring to himself and Hudson as “two lucky boys.”

He later shared his first photo of Zellweger with his other children in July 2023, including daughter Amelie, 22, and son Archie, 19, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Louise Anstead.
