But when J. Lo, 51, quickly moved on with her famous ex, Ben Affleck, 48, bitterness kicked in. Asked what he thought about the new couple in May, the 45-year-old responded, “Go Yankees!” with a smirk (a not-so-subtle dig at Boston Red Sox superfan Ben).

He had her at hello. Renée Zellweger and Ant Anstead have been “inseparable,” a source tells In Touch, ever since the two met in early June on the set of his upcoming Discovery+ series, Celebrity IOU: Joyride. The Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott, 43, who are doing the show with Ant, “noticed right away there was a spark between the two and kept pushing them together,” says the source. “Before you knew it, Renée and Ant were an item.” News of the romance comes just days after it was confirmed that the Wheeler Dealers star, 42, had finalized his divorce from Christina Haack (of Flip or Flop fame). “That chapter of his life is over, and Ant wants to move on, so he asked Renée out,” says the source.…
