“I was so blessed that I wasn’t directly affected by the virus,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in March 2022. “It was a very dangerous pandemic and it put our family at risk.”
Anstead asked for sole custody of Hudson in order to prevent his loved ones from taking proper precautions. “It was a very dangerous pandemic and it put our family at risk,” he contended.
Ant Anstead sought to get sole custody of Hudson on the grounds that, among other accusations, Christina Hall had been neglectful of their son’s physical wellbeing, TMZ reported in April 2022. One example of how she presumably had endangered Hudson, Anstead cited Halls’ failure to disclose her family had caught COVID-19 in January 2022, when she dropped him off at his house. In addition to putting Hudson’s health at risk, Anstead argued that Hall also prevented him and his loved ones from taking proper precautions.
Because of Hall’s alleged negligence, Renée Zellweger became infected, which also had professional consequences, he contended. “At the time my partner was filming her new project and her COVID diagnosis placed the whole production on pause,” he said in court documents. Anstead didn’t actually name Zellweger, but he started dating the “Judy” Oscar winner exactly a year before his custody petition.
The unlikely pair met when she starred on his Discovery+ show “Celebrity IOU Joyride, whose episode aired in August 2021. “One year ago today! Sat on the back of a fire engine on the final day of filming,” he captioned the April 2022 Instagram post. Despite falling sick with the virus, Zellweger considered herself among the lucky ones during the pandemic. “I was so blessed that I wasn’t directly affected by the plague,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in March 2022.
