Renee to adopt a child?

Renee Zellweger is thinking about adopting a child with her rocker boyfriend.

The 44-year-old Bridget Jones’s Diary star and Doyle Bramhall II – who is a guitarist for Eric Clapton – are reportedly eager to start a family and are looking at adopting.

An insider told Radar Online: "She’s considering adopting.

"She knows that she probably missed the boat on carrying and giving birth to a child. She gets down about not having a family yet.

"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.

"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. Hopefully, she’ll get the family she’s always dreamed of having."

Zellweger and Bramhall have been dating for around 18 months, but have been friends since they were university students in the 1990s.

The source said: "Renee was ecstatic about finding love again with an old friend. She knew Doyle’s a good, solid guy, and she easily imagined starting a family with him."

The insider added: "Renee’s a true romantic, and she didn’t want to be a single mom. She always wanted to have a partner who is dying to share the adventure of parenthood with her. She really wanted the situation to be perfect — and it seems like it’s getting there."
