Christina Hall's ex Ant Anstead says he's made a "change in my personal life" amid his continued relationship with Renee Zellweger.

The English television presenter, who is launching a new series called Radford Reborn on Speedvision with Formula 1 driver Jenson Button, shared that he had finally sold his beachside cottage in Orange County, and "it came at the right time, for another property and a change in my personal life that I'm really pleased about".

Speaking to People  about the move he added: "I made the call there and then," although he didn't provide specifics on what positive "change" he was referring to.

Ant first listed the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home, which features stunning panoramic views of the ocean from a wraparound deck, for $3.3 million in 2022 a year after purchasing it following his divorce from HGTV star Christina Hall. But in February 2022 the 43-year-old had a change of heart and took it off the market.

Ant and Oscar-winning actress Renee have been dating since June 2021 after they met on his show, Celebrity IOU: Joyride. While Renee doesn't have any children, Ant is a dad three times over. His oldest two children, teenagers Amelie and Archie live in England, while three-year-old, Hudson, , whom he shares with Flip or Flop star Christina, live in Los Angeles.

In January he took Hudson to England for the first time to spend the holidays with his older half-siblings.

"Hudzo and I spent Christmas morning on the sandy beach of Laguna then the rest of Christmas Day on a flight to the UK!! His first time ever out the US which immediately called for us to get cosy clothes on for a muddy boots woodland walk with @amelieanstead & @archoanstead," Ant captioned a carousel of pictures of his family enjoying the English countryside.

It's rare that Renee and Ant share photos of themselves, but Ant recently added a blurry snapshot to social media of the pair dancing in a courtyard under fairy lights.

In the photo, Ant was embracing Renee and staring adoringly down at her; he captioned the post: "Always Pause for moments of magic under twinkly lights," and added a heart emoji and a kiss.
