New couple Renée Zellweger and Ant Anstead have been photographed for the first time since news of their romance lit up the internet.
The Oscar-winning actress and British television presenter were spotted hanging out on Friday on the latter's balcony of his new Laguna Beach, California, home, enjoying a lazy morning together.
Zellweger, 52, appeared quite comfortable with a gray pajama-style top, no makeup and her light-brown locks tied up with a scrunchie. She sipped from a mug that said "Home Is Where Dad Is" while enjoying the view of the Pacific Ocean.
For his part, the 42-year-old Wheeler Dealers host sported a cozy black T-shirt and gray sweatpants as he pointed out something on the horizon.

Insiders close to the situation said Anstead and Zellweger met in early June while shooting an episode of Celebrity IOU Joyride, his new show on Discovery+. Sources said that after filming, Renée actually came back to set to return some work boots for Ant.
Though the timeline of when things turned romantic between the two is a bit murky, they are definitely an item now!
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the new couple's new relationship made headlines just days after Anstead finalized his divorce from 37-year-old Flip or Flop star Christina Haack.
Anstead and Haack reached their divorce settlement late last month in Orange County court. The finalization was reached fairly easily since they had a prenuptial agreement in place before they got married in December of 2018.
She filed for divorce less than two years later.
Via their joint filing, the ex-couple submitted to the court items like providing insurance and distribution of personal items from the family home, officially ending their short-lived marriage and relatively quick divorce.
Together, they have one son – 20-month-old Hudson Anstead – and as of now, they seem to be sharing joint custody.
Christina had previously begged the judge in their divorce case to speed up the process after Ant was a no-show in court.
She also recently put their $6 million Newport Beach home – which contains five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms in its 4,804 square feet of living space – on the market. After they tied the knot in the beachy abode, Ant handed over his rights, giving his then-wife full ownership of the house.
Anstead and Haack said "I do" just months after she finalized her divorce from her first husband, Tarek El Moussa. He and Christina share two children: 10-year-old daughter Taylor El Moussa and 5-year-old son Brayden El Moussa.
Tarek is currently gearing up to wed his Selling Sunset fiancée, Heather Rae Young.
Ant was married to his first wife, Louise Anstead, from 2005 to 2017. They share two children: 17-year-old daughter Amelie Anstead and 14-year-old son Archie Anstead.
As for Zellweger, she was previously married to country star Kenny Chesney, but the two have been divorced since 2005. Most recently, the actress was linked to musician Doyle Bramhall II.
