Renee and Kenny split up

Actors & Actresses Forum

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger and country singer Kenny Chesney are seeking an annulment after five months of marriage, a spokeswoman said Thursday.

Publicist Nanci Ryder confirmed that Zellweger and Chesney, who stunned the entertainment world in May with a marriage on a beach in the Caribbean, had split.

Despite their fame and success -- Zellweger won an Academy Award for "Cold Mountain" and Chesney was named entertainer of the year in 2004 by the Country Music Association -- they had largely kept the relationship under wraps until the wedding.

Ryder could not say if either Zellweger, 36, or Chesney, 37, had filed court papers and had no further information about the split, which was first reported on People magazine's Web site.

The couple met at a benefit for tsunami relief and dated for four months before they wed.

Sheesh... the rate that couples, esp in Hollywood, split up... I don't EVER want to hear another fricken political, or religious comment about how marriage is SACRED and only for a man and a woman!!!



*walks off shaking head, grumbling*

Only your plastic surgeon is scared if you are part of the Hollywood crowd.

Chesney Thanks Zellweger for the Memories

Country star Kenny Chesney refuses to feel blue about the end of his short marriage to actress Renee Zellweger, because the experience taught him how to fall in love.

The singer and the Oscar winner split in September after just four months of marriage, but Chesney is delighted he had the chance to experience true love.

He tells the ladies of the morning talk show "The View," "She and I fell in love like a couple of schoolkids. I'm glad to know that can happen, that that exists and we still really care about each other."

"It would've been a bad thing if I hadn't met (her). She's wonderful. I don't want to sit here and go, 'Poor me.' I am totally blessed, and I'm grateful for (the romance)."

I doubt what they had is really "true love". Call me cynical but doesn't true love generally last longer than six months? I'd call a six month fling "puppy love".
