Renee Zellweger is making sure that she spends quality time with boyfriend Bradley Cooper’’s family— she invited the actor’’s mum to be her date at the recent VIP opening of a designer clothing store.

The couple has been seeing each other since last year (09).

However, they recently denied reports of any plans to move in together after they were seen househunting in January (10).

But Zellweger is hitting off well with Cooper’’s mum Gloria, who accompanied the ‘Bridget Jones’’s Diary’ star to the launch of Vera Wang’’s Los Angeles store on Tuesday.

“They looked like the best of friends. They were laughing, chatting throughout dinner. They are definitely close,” the Daily Star quoted a source as telling People.

The actress bonded with the Coopers after spending the Christmas holidays with the family.
