Renée Zellweger and Ant Anstead enjoyed a romantic day out after being spotted together for the first time last week.

On Monday, the couple was seen holding hands with Zellweger, 52, leaning in close to Anstead, 42, as the two went off to enjoy a bike ride in Laguna Beach, California.

The two dressed casually — the Oscar-winning actress wore a light long-sleeved top, black leggings, a ball cap and sneakers, while Anstead wore a black T-shirt, navy shorts and dark sunglasses.

The duo was first photographed together last Friday when Zellweger visited Anstead's oceanfront Laguna Beach home, which he's dubbed "The Temple." The couple took in the view together in photos obtained by The Daily Mail.

"Renée 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," the source added. "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."

Zellweger was last linked to musician Doyle Bramhall II, whom she dated from 2012 to 2019.

Anstead finalized his divorce from Christina Haack, 37, just days before PEOPLE confirmed he was seeing Zellweger. He and the Flip or Flop star tied the knot in 2018, and they share son Hudson London, 21 months. Anstead also shares daughter Amelie, 17, and son Archie, 14, with his first wife Louise, 40.
