July 5 2021, Published 11:20 a.m. ET
Things appear to be moving quickly between Renée Zellweger and Ant Anstead!
Not only did the new couple spend the Fourth of July holiday weekend together in Orange County, California, but they were also joined by Anstead's youngest son, Hudson London Anstead, who he shares with his very recent ex-wife, Christina Haack.
The 52-year-old Oscar-winning actress drove the 42-year-old British television presenter and his 21-month-old son to a vegan café in a classic Ford Mustang that had the number 22 painted on one side and was covered in stickers.
Zellweger wore a gray pullover hoodie, khaki cargo pants, black Converse sneakers, an orange baseball cap and a crossbody bag, while the Wheeler Dealers host opted for a black T-shirt, classic blue jeans and sneakers. Both had on sunglasses.
As for Hudson, the blonde cutie rocked a light blue shirt with a navy pocket and navy pants covered in white stars. His tiny sneakers were white, too.
The trio also attended a church service in Irvine, where a tent had been set up in a parking lot.
Paparazzi snapped away as Renée held Hudson in her arms and carried him during the outing.
Sunday's festivities come on the heels of the new couple's first public sighting on the balcony of Ant's new Laguna Beach home, which he reportedly refers to as "The Temple."
On Friday morning, Zellweger was photographed looking 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, Anstead sported another black T-shirt and gray sweatpants, as he pointed out something on the horizon.
The Judy star spent Saturday at "The Temple," too.
"Sometimes two people just meet and click, and the timing is right," a source told People. "Renée is creative...and often goes for guys who think out of the box. She's smart, thoughtful, and always looking to expand horizons and nurture those around her."
"Both of them are private and dislike public scrutiny, so they have that in common," added the insider. "He's a creative guy with lots of interests, and she likes to write and produce, so they have things to talk about when together."
Sources 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+. Insiders 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 pair's new relationship made headlines just days after Anstead finalized his divorce from his 37-year-old Flip or Flop star ex.
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.
As of now, they seem to be sharing joint custody of Hudson, their only child together.

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.
Though the actress has no kids of her own, it sure seems she's taken to Mommy duties quite well!
