Now that he’s gotten into the swing of things as a newly single dad, Ant Anstead is ready to start focusing on creating friendships — but not with just anyone.
He even made it one of his New Year’s resolutions.
“In January I wrote — I like to write a New Year’s resolution, so I’ve got my vision board — ‘make friends with people of substance,'” he shares.
He adds that he has several qualities that he looks for in potential pals: “Real people, people that are just down to earth,” he says. “People that… just their heart is in the right place.”
To make it happen, he says, he recently joined the Laguna Beach Parents Club. On Thursday, he shared a photo of himself at one of their recent meet-ups, sitting in a lawn chair in a circle with six others on the beach.

“Making new dad friends,” he captioned the photo, tagging the club and adding a pizza and beer emoji.
Anstead also told PEOPLE that he took to Instagram a couple of weeks ago to try to find more parents in the area, but soon got more “interesting” replies than he was expecting.
“I put something on my story the other day to say, ‘Hey look, Hudson and I, we have this little double act. We’d love to meet some more parents with equally aged kids,'” he says. But his DMs soon became a “minefield of interesting human behavior.”

“I feel like I need a home. It’s been over six months now,” Anstead says of his attempts to find a place of his own after moving out of the home they used to share while renting.

Currently, Anstead is busypreparing for the relaunchof a once-famous British car company, called Radford, which he has been working on for over two years with his two partners — car designer Mark Stubbs and former Formula One champion racecar driver Jenson Button.

“Between Mark, Jensen and me, this is genuinely… this is a lifetime’s work,” he says. “And individually, Radford wouldn’t work. But as a team, the three of us, we’re kind of the perfect trilogy.”
A premiere date for the show has not yet been set.
