Ant Anstead Shares Son’s Cute Reaction to Christmas Gift — and Fans Say They Can Hear Renée Zellweger Laughing Along

Ant Anstead is offering an inside look at how he spent Christmas day! 

The British TV host, 45, shared a series of photos on Instagram that showed his 5-year-old son Hudson, whom he shares with ex-wife Christina Haack (formerly Hall), playing with his new plasma ball lamp that Santa seemingly brought him on Christmas morning. 

In the last slide of the Dec. 28 post, a video shows Hudson asking his dad to “look” at how his new toy works as he brings his face up close to the lamp. The silly demonstration prompts Anstead and someone else in the background to burst out laughing. 

“Christmas Day MAGIC 💫🥰 X,” Anstead captioned the post. 

Fans were quick to point out who they thought the mystery laugher was, noting in the comments that it had to be Anstead’s girlfriend of more than three years, Bridget Jones star Renée Zellweger.

“I can hear Renée’s laugh!” one person commented. “Totally Renée,” another agreed. 

A different user wrote, “That is 100% Renée’s laugh. It’s distinctive and perfect.”

“Good to hear bonus mommy laughing,” read another comment.

This would be the fourth year in a row that the lovebirds are spending the most wonderful time of the year together.  

In December 2023, Anstead confirmed he enjoyed Christmas with his girlfriend and his older children in a photo shared to his Instagram Stories. In the snap, he revealed Zellweger prepared all of the desserts for Christmas dinner while his kids, Amelie, 21, and Archie, 18, helped out with the festive roast.

In 2022, eagle-eyed fans spotted Zellweger in the background of one of Anstead’s Instagram posts, confirming the pair spent the holidays in his native England that year.  

His followers were able to point out the actress, who was wearing her favorite orange University of Texas baseball hat and green cargo pants, in the background of a photo Anstead snapped of Hudson.

“Renée meeting the family,” one user commented on the post at the time.

A year prior, in 2021, Anstead confirmed he and his new girlfriend at the time had plans to spend the holidays together despite having extremely busy schedules while speaking to Entertainment Tonight.

Anstead and Zellweger first started dating in 2021 after they met on the set of Anstead’s Discovery+ show Celebrity IOU: Joyride in June that year.

In April 2023, a source told PEOPLE that the pair hit a major milestone in their relationship and were moving in together after finding a home “they both love” in Orange County, Calif. 

A year later, in April 2024, another insider said that Anstead was temporarily relocating to his native England to be close to Zellweger while she filmed the fourth installment of the Bridget Jones franchise, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. 

While the couple tends to keep their love life mostly private, Anstead recently opened up about how “normal” their more than three-year romance is. Asked on a U.K. talk show what it’s like to be in a relationship that is “so minutely gazed upon by total strangers,” Anstead shrugged it off.

“I don’t give it any time,” the former Wheeler Dealers host said. “I mean, ultimately, it is microscopically examined, I’m sure, but I don’t really think about that. She’s so incredibly normal and I often forget that she’s famous.”
