Ant Anstead and Renee Zellweger are enjoying a joyous week filled with celebrations.
The famous British television presenter, who has been married twice before, marked his girlfriend's 54th Birthday with a touching Instagram tribute. The couple, who have been in a relationship for two years, met for the first time in 2021 when Zellweger appeared on Anstead's "Celebrity IOU Joyride."

The motor specialist marked the celebrant's day with an adorable video montage on his Instagram Stories. The montage included numerous cherished moments from the last two years of their lives together. It started with the casually dressed actress playfully eating a flower her performing a cheer from her high school days on the show, "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
Other moments showed when they met on his show, a clip of her tap dancing, petting an animal, fixing a car, a glamorous photoshoot, dancing into "The Ellen Show," and sitting in a truck with him standing by the window. The car enthusiast excitedly captioned the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ren!! One lucky British boy" reel and expressed gratitude to a fan account for creating the "cool video."
This week, the couple also commemorated their second Anniversary. In honor of the day, the "For the Love of Cars" co-host posted a video on Instagram, captioned "Two Years Of Magic X."
The silent clip featured the 44-year-old and the Academy Award-winning star holding hands while enjoying the great outdoors. Another picture captured them kissing, with Anstead's arms wrapped around her.
In a third photo, they could be seen lounging with the 54-year-old in the lap of the "Wheeler Dealers" alum while they shared another kiss. The comment section was quickly flooded with an outpouring of love from fans. One could not help but gush, "Wow! Happy 2nd Anniversary!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍."

Another wrote, "Wow, two years already. Congratulations and blessings for many, many more. ❤️🎊," and a third added, "I'm rooting for these two 😍. He deserves all the happiness with a cool-ass chick!" A fourth noted, "What a beautiful love story. Many more years of happiness together."
Although the "Bridget Jones's Diary" star prefers to keep her personal life out of the public eye and has no social media account, Anstead occasionally treats fans with glimpses of their romance. In January, he shared an adorable picture of them swaying together on a patio, exchanging loving glances.
The blurry image showed him affectionately holding on to his girlfriend's waist. Zellweger wore a little black dress paired with a nude-colored blazer and silver high heels, while the father-of-three sported a gray suit, white shirt, and white sneakers. The caption read, "Always pause for moments of magic under twinkly lights... ❤️💫x,"

The lovebirds reportedly take their relationship to the next level by moving in together. As detailed by The Blast, they are head over heels in love and have allegedly found a new home to share.
An insider disclosed that they found a house they both love just a few days after Anstead sold his previous home in Laguna Beach, California. The duo has kept their relationship low-key, mainly because of his young son, Hudson, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Christina Hall. The source also shared that they are "pleased and in love."
The Daily Mail observed that he sold his Laguna Beach oceanfront home in an off-market deal after receiving an offer from a buyer. The car builder had initially listed the property for $3.3 million in October 2022 but later took it off the market.
With this move, it is evident that they are in it for the long haul, and Anstead might be popping the big question soon. Last month, The Blast reported that according to an insider who spoke to PEOPLE, he is deeply devoted to Zellweger and their relationship.
However, the source added that he is also cautious about taking things too quickly, indicating that the couple is taking a measured approach to their plans.
