Though Zellweger doesn't have social media, Anstead occasionally gives fans a glimpse into the couple's relationship, be it with adorable selfies, PDA-filled pics or romantic throwbacks.

The pair met on Anstead's show \"Celebrity IOU: Joyride.\" Zellweger appeared in the premiere episode, which aired in August 2021.

\"Sometimes things come to you at the right time, and actually the right time is often the most unexpected,\" Anstead told Entertainment Tonight that same month. \"There's absolutely no way it was something I expected, but there's something magical in that, right?\"

In March, Zellweger told Harper's Bazaar she considered her meet-cute with Anstead an act of \"serendipity.\"
