Chesney – Zellweger Marriage Ends – Today In Country Music History [VIDEO]

2006  Kenny, I Hardly Knew Ye

Actress Renee Zellweger files for an annulment of her marriage to Kenny Chesney in Los Angeles, barely four months after the couple exchanged vows.

The question on everyones' mind back then? Why did Zellweger cite "fraud" as the reason for the split -- and why did she file for an annulment instead of a divorce?

In September 2005, the former couple released a joint statement to clear things up: "The miscommunication of the objective of their marriage at the start is the only reason for this annulment," it read, "Renée and Kenny value and respect each other and are saddened that their different objectives prevent the success of this marriage."

A few years later in 2010, Chesney admitted to Oprah Winfrey that he'd simply "panicked" after marrying Zellweger. "She's a sweet soul, no doubt about it, but I just wasn't ready."

We may never know the whole story, but we'll always be a little sad that the man who sang "You Had Me From Hello" couldn't make it work with the woman who uttered the same line a few years earlier in "Jerry Maguire."
