Since making their public debut as a couple, Zellweger and Anstead have kept their romance out of the public eye.

“Renée and my relationship is something that’s really private,” Anstead told PEOPLE in September. “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.”

Things have only gotten more serious for the couple. Over Christmas,she met his older kids, Amelie, 18, and Archie, 15, in person for the first time. (They live primarily in the U.K. with their mother and had not been able to visit their dad in California due to Covid travel restrictions.)

“It was great,” the car expert said. “I mean, Renée’s so personable, and so great with people, and they’ve met a few times on FaceTime, so everybody was excited to finally get together. Of course, everybody got on famously. It’s really nice.”
