Actress Renée Zellweger has sold her California home just two weeks after first listing it – and for an even heftier price than expected.

The Spanish-style ranch was listed for $AUD 7.98 million ($USD 5.99 million), quickly selling for $8.52 million ($USD 6.4 million) according to The Post.

According to property records, Zellweger first bought the home in 2015 for $ 4.53 million ($USD 3.4 million).

Her decision to sell the property – which has undergone a “down-to-the-studs” rebuild – comes amidst rumours that she is spending more time with new beau Ant Anstead.

Anstead and Zellweger have been dating since June this year, according to The Post.

The Bridget Jones’ Diary star has also received some heat recently over a controversial fat suit she was spotted in on the set of crime series, The Thing About Pam, in her role as real-life, convicted-killer Pam Hupp.
