Ant Anstead thrilled fans with a touching family update this week which had everyone cooing.

The four-year-old giggled and yelled "higher" as his famous dad laughed along with him. 

Ant captioned the adorable video: "There was some MAGIC this weekend …. X" and fans rushed to comment. "Such a happy child.. a joy to see," wrote one, while another said: "Omg look how big he’s getting," and a third remarked: "He is adorable."

The update comes amid Ant's romance with Bridget Jones' actress Renee Zellweger. They've been dating for over two years and earlier this year it was reported that they were engaged

The couple's romance blossomed when Renee was grieving for her late publicist Nanci Ryder. Inspired by an episode of Celebrity IOU starring Brad Pitt, Renee chose to express her gratitude to the nurses who cared for Ryder in her last years.

When asked by Harper's Bazaar if she felt that Ant was a gift from Nanci, Renee responded: "She's always doing her best. It made me smile. It made me smile to think on this, yeah, the serendipity of it all."

The couple don't have any children together, but the rare glimpses given into their lives prove she's a doting step-mom, not only to Hudson but to Ant's older children, Amelie and Archie, who reside in the UK.
