Renee Zellwegger proves she is still close friends with ex-boyfriend Doyle Bramhall as she attends his Royal Albert Hall gig after their seven year relationship ended

Renee Zellwegger and Doyle Bramhall appear to be the friendliest of exes as she showed her support at his Royal Albert Hall gig in London on Tuesday evening.

The Bridget Jones star, 55, is currently in the capital filming the fourth instalment of the romcom franchise, Mad About The Boy, alongside her younger on-screen lover Leo Woodall, who is slated to play a love interest.

But during some downtime from shooting, Renee was pictured catching up with her old flame as they proved they are still on great terms following their split.

Renee and Doyle, 55, who is now in a relationship with supermodel Elle Macpherson, dated for seven years before it was revealed in 2019 they had parted ways.

Despite this, Renee and Doyle still appeared delighted to see each other as they sweetly embraced inside the iconic venue.

Renee seized the opportunity to check out Doyle's performance with Eric Clapton, after he was announced as the singing legend's lead guitarist.

The former couple when they were just students at the University of Texas in the early nineties. In 2012, two years after ending his marriage, they decided to give dating a try.

Though they never considered a romantic relationship during their college days, the two made by for lost time as they stuck by each other's sides from 2012 to 2019.

Doyle is known for his work in Arc Angels and for touring with Eric for six years.

Upon speaking about their romance in 2015, she gushed: 'Isn't he cute? He's a very sweet man. I'm very, very happy right now,' the star told People.

According to the documents, obtained by E! News, he lived for free with her and she paid his credit card bills in the midst of his separation from his former spouse, Susannah Melvoin.

The site reports that Renee has been subbing the credit card fees which vary between $4,000 to $5,000 a month, with the court documents detailing that this a loan and a repayment is expected. 

Renee is also said to have paid for Doyle's expenses in 2015 that added up to nearly $60,000.

During a hearing in Doyle's divorce from ex Susannah Melvoin, the judge ruled that Renee's income should not have any bearing on what the musician pays in spousal and child support to his estranged wife. 

Doyle, who also dated Sheryl Crow, was married to Susannah from 1997 to 2010 and they have two daughters together. 

According to Radar Online, his jealousy contributed to the end of their longtime relationship.

'She and Doyle built a happy home life together and they even discussed adopting a baby together,' a source told the outlet in 2016.

Ultimately, they 'drifted apart emotionally when they were separated for weeks at a time' and weren't 'able to rekindle the spark.'

The insider added: 'Renee hit her breaking point over the jealousy issues.' 

The American star, who is now in a relationship with Ant Anstead, is reportedly set to quietly wed her partner of three years after confirming plans to friends.

The couple were last pictured together in March before the actress flew to the UK to begin filming on the fourth Bridget Jones film.

The couple have been dating since June 2021 after they met on Anstead's Discovery+ show Celebrity IOU: Joyride and were spotted a month later at his beach house.

In August of that same year, Anstead spoke about their relationship for the first time publicly at E!'s Daily Pop.

'Look, everybody knows that Renée and I have become quite close, because we kept it secret for a while,' he said at the time. He then added that it was a 'real pleasure' to work with her on his show.

In September 2021, the pair went Instagram official as Anstead shared an adorable black-and-white selfie of the pair.

Last year, the pair moved in together after Anstead sold his home in Laguna Beach, California.

In early April 2023, a source revealed to People that Zellweger and Anstead had 'found a house that they both love and are moving in together'.

A couple of months later reports emerged that the pair had a low-key and secret engagement.
