Renee Zellweger's recent romance may be new, but her close bond with boyfriend Doyle Bramhall III spans more than two decades.

The Bridget Jones's Diary actress, 42, and the guitarist, 44, have known each other since Zellweger's days as a University of Texas coed in 1990. "They didn't date then," a source says in the Jan. 7 issue of Us Weekly.

Over 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.)
