Ren\u00e9e Zellweger<\/strong><\/a> isn\u2019t exactly thrilled about boyfriend Ant Anstead<\/strong><\/a> making an appearance on the new HGTV show hosted by his ex wife Christina Haack<\/strong><\/a> (formerly known as Christina Hall<\/strong>), The Flip Off<\/em>, a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRen\u00e9e trusts Ant,\u201d a source says of the actress, 55. \u201cBut she\u2019s definitely wary of the situation.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Christina, 41, was supposed to shoot the series with husband Joshua Hall<\/strong>, but the couple called it quits in July. While it\u2019s uncertain if Ant, 45, will be cohosting the series, as all that\u2019s been confirmed is an \u201cappearance\u201d on the show, the offer could not have come at a better time for the British presenter, whose supercar company filed for bankruptcy in October.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The real estate mogul even replied to a comment on Instagram calling the idea of bringing back her ex husband Ant<\/a> \u201cgenius.\u201d Without a doubt, the drama would spell high ratings for the show, even though Christina had also brushed off the idea initially, saying she \u201ccan\u2019t work with more exes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n But obviously her relationship with Ant must be different than her most recent ex husband, Joshua. The two were only married for a little over two years before Josh filed for divorce due to \u201cirreconcilable differences,\u201d in July 2024. They first got together right after Christina\u2019s marriage to Ant fell apart, with those two splitting in June 2021. By July, she was seen holding hands with Joshua in the airport on their way to spend her 38th birthday together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Around the same time, Ant was cozying up to his current girlfriend, A-lister Ren\u00e9e, whom he met on the set of Celebrity IOU Joyride<\/em> in 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cLook \u2026 everybody knows that Ren\u00e9e and I have become quite close, because we kept it secret for a while, and unfortunately some pictures were taken and put out there,\u201d Ant said of their rumored relationship at the time, adding that it was a \u201creal pleasure\u201d to work with the actress on the show.<\/span><\/p>\n After his divorce from Christina, Ant began dating the Bridget Jones\u2019s Diary<\/em> star officially. Though, there were some initial hang ups about Ant\u2019s relationship with his ex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As Life & Style<\/em> previously reported<\/a>, Ren\u00e9e actually played peacemaker between the two in order to cut out some of the baggage her man was still carrying from his last marriage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s convinced Ant it\u2019s silly to hold grudges and hated seeing him so worked up. Things are better now. She\u2019s extended the olive branch to Christina, too,\u201d a second source previously said.<\/span><\/p>\n
