Renee Zellweger may be about to start a family with sources close to the star saying she is desperate to start a family.
The 44-year-old is reportedly considering adoption with her boyfriend, guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, who she met in 2012.
It seems this is the perfect time for the Bridget Jones star, who has taken time out recently to focus on her personal life. The pair has been spending a lot of time together lately working on their relationship and discussing their future.
“She’s been directing and working on her own projects, which has given her more time and flexibility to build her relationship with the right guy,” a source told Radar Online.
“Hopefully, she’ll get the family she’s always dreamed of having.”
Renee reconnected with Doyle last year after the pair, who attended the University of Texas together, reconnected on a catch-up date recently and sparked up a romance.
“Renee was ecstatic about finding love again with an old friend,” the source said.
“She knew Doyle’s a good, solid guy, and she easily imagined starting a family with him.
“She followed him to his different gigs around the country this summer like a groupie and joked that she felt like a teenager again!”
But Renee is realistic about her age and knows the chances of her carrying her own child are unlikely.
“She gets down about not having a family yet. She really thought that she’d be married and raising kids out in the Connecticut countryside by now.”
“[But] Renee tries to find the positive side of things. She knows 44 isn’t too old to be a mom. It will just have to happen a little differently than she always imagined it would.”
Renee was married to singer Kenny Chesney but the pair announced their divorce after only four months of marriage.
