After receiving a stunning bouquet from Renée Zellweger, Ant Anstead is sharing some advice.
“Ladies...Trust Me on This! Buy Men Flowers!” the British automotive expert and TV host, 45, wrote on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Sept. 11, over an image of the white roses his girlfriend gave him.
The photo also reveals a sweet note from Zellweger, 55, that reads, “Welcome home, sweet man!”
The actress appeared to sign the message “I love you,” though the last word is covered by one of the blooms.

Last month, the Celebrity IOU: Joyride host shared an adorable reaction to the movie poster for Zellweger’s upcoming film, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
“Oh man… she’s so beautiful….!” Anstead wrote on his Instagram Stories on Aug. 23.
“That’s my Ren (lucky boy),” he added, along with a heart-eye emoji.
Zellweger reprises her beloved role as Bridget Jones in the franchise’s fourth installment, which is scheduled to premiere on Valentine’s Day in 2025. Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson also returns as their characters from the past movies, and Leo Woodall and Isla Fisher costar in the new film.
In April, a source told PEOPLE that Anstead would be temporarily relocating back to England while Zellweger worked on the project.
"Ant is going over to the U.K. with Renée while she is filming [Bridget Jones's Diary 4] later this year,” the insider told PEOPLE at the time. “Ant is excited to spend time with his older kiddos."
Antsead shares daughter Amelie, 20, and son Archie, 17, with his first wife Louise Storey. They are based in the U.K., while Hudson, the 5-year-old son he shares with ex-wife Christina Hall, lives in California.
Zellweger and Anstead, who've been in a relationship since 2021, share a home together in Orange County that they moved into in spring 2023, a source confirmed to PEOPLE at the time.

"You have taught me so much about so much!” he added. “It’s been a privilege to do this dad thing all over again. You humble me and fill everyone around you with joy and love."
"NayNay and I love you very much! Happy 5th birthday Hudzo ?? x," he concluded the post, seemingly using Hudson's nickname for Zellweger.
