Renée Zellweger cheered on boyfriend Ant Anstead at his recent soccer game!

On Sunday, Zellweger, 54, was spotted alongside her two dogs as she supported Anstead, 44, during his match in Orange County, California. The Oscar winner was spotted smiling as Anstead looked over his shoulder at her while running down the field.

The Thing About Pam actress dressed down for the casual Sunday outing, opting for jeans, a black zip-up hoodie and her favorite burnt orange Texas Longhorns baseball hat. Anstead has long played for a semi-professional soccer team, the U.S. affiliate of Southampton FC. Last May, she was at his side as they won a championship game.

The very private couple rarely make appearances together, but this isn't the first time Zellweger and her pups have been spotted out and about with Anstead. In 2022, the couple were snapped taking the dogs for a walk in Laguna Beach, California, where he's based.

However, Zellweger's relationship with her dogs is even more enduring. In 2019, she told PEOPLE that her pups keep her grounded.
