"Renee Zellweger&amp;apos;s recent romance may be new, but her close bond with boyfriend Doyle Bramhall III spans more than two decades.\r\nThe Bridget Jones&amp;apos;s Diary actress, 42, and the guitarist, 44, have known each other since Zellweger&amp;apos;s days as a University of Texas coed in 1990. &amp;quot;They didn&amp;apos;t date then,&amp;quot; a source says in the Jan. 7 issue of Us Weekly.\r\n\r\nOver the years, the Texas natives often ran into each other in L.A., and they eventually made a date in the summer of 2012 for a proper catch-up. (Bramhall previously dated singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow.)\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Things went from there,&amp;quot; the source tells Us. &amp;quot;Renee&amp;apos;s really happy and has a new life.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nUntil 2011, Zellweger was in a two-year relationship with her Case 39 costar Bradley Cooper. The actress&amp;apos; other ex-boyfriends include Dan Abrams, Jack White and Jim Carrey (with whom she was briefly engaged). Zellweger was married to singer Kenny Chesney in 2005; it was annulled after four months.\r\n&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
