Renee Zellweger is desperate for a baby

OHMYGOSSIP —  The Bridget Jones’s Diary star Renee Zellweger is desperate to start family with her boyfriend, Eric Clapton guitarist Doyle Bramhall II. “She’s considering adopting,” a source close to 44-year-old Zellweger told RadarOnline.

The source adds that Renee has molded her career in recent months to allow herself more time to focus on her personal life.

“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,” the source explains.

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

“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. She followed him to his different gigs around the country this summer like a groupie. She joked that she felt like a teenager again!

“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 really thought that she’d be married and raising kids out in the Connecticut countryside by now.

“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.”
