Zellweger travels to Vancouver to spend time with Cooper

The 40-year-old actress has been shooting in New York and Paris,but seems to have taken some time off to visit Cooper,who is also her co-star in upcoming films ‘New in Town’ and ‘Case 39’.

The couple and three friends arrived around 10 pm on Thursday night at Market,a Jean-Georges restaurant at downtown Vancouver’s Shangri-La Hotel.

“Whenever they were speaking,they had their hands on each other’s knees underneath the table,and they also held hands,” said fellow diner DJ Leanne,a Vancouver-based deejay.

“They were very cute. They really looked like a couple,and that they were ‘together’,” she added.

Zellweger,40,and Cooper,34,who didn’t enter the restaurant through its front doors,were seated with their friends at a round banquette with their backs facing the restaurant to remain low-key.

“Renée was very happy. She was laughing,smiling. They were very cute. They were definitely having a good time and seemed happy,” said Leanne.
