Anstead first met the 52-year-old on set in early June, People magazine reported. The outlet shared that in Zellweger’s episode, fans will see Anstead and Lee help her surprise brothers Jerome and Jerald. The pair previously served as 24-hour caregivers to Zellweger’s late publicist, Nanci Ryder, during her battle with ALS. She passed away in 2020 at age 67.
A source told the outlet that Zellweger and Anstead instantly bonded over common interests, including their appreciation for cars.
"Sometimes two people just meet and click, and the timing is right," the source told the outlet. "Renee 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. 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," the insider added.
