Renée Zellweger opens up on the idea of age gap relationships after Bridget Jones gets a 'toyboy'

Renée Zellweger says she 'doesn't have an opinion' on age gap relationships

Renée Zellweger "doesn't have an opinion" on age gap relationships.

The 55-year-old actress has returned to the role of hapless singleton Bridget Jones in 'Mad About The Boy' and while her character finds love with a 29-year-old man played by Leo Woodall, she has admitted that she has never really thought about the idea of having a "toyboy" before.

Speaking on the Australian TV show 'The Project' when asked what she thought of having a toyboy in real life, she said: "I don't really have an opinion, I think you just have to take your happiness where you can get it.

"I'm not complaining!

"But yeah, I don't know. He's a nice guy, kinda handsome too.

"So why not? I don't really have an opinion on that. I have a lot of girlfriends who date younger men, and they're perfectly happy, so why not?

"I try not to have opinions about things that are not any of my business."

The 'Judy' star is currently dating television presenter Ant Anstead, 45, but was briefly married to country singer Kenny Chesney, 56, in 2005 and also dated 'A Star Is Born' actor Bradley Cooper, 50, from 2009 until 2011.

In 2023, the Academy Award-winning actress was said to be engaged to Ant, but US magazine PEOPLE later confirmed that the news was untrue.

Ant previously explained that he and Renee were taking their relationship "one day at a time" and that he wanted to keep their romance as private as possible.

He told PEOPLE: "Renee and my relationship is something that's really private. It's something I'm not really willing to talk too much about.

"It's really early in our relationship and I don't want to put any pressure on that."
