LOS ANGELES - Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger and country music star Kenny Chesney were married Monday in a small ceremony on the island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a publicist for Zellweger said.
The ceremony took place in front of close friends and family, Los Angeles-based publicist Nanci Ryder said in a statement. The bride wore a Carolina Herrera dress, she added.
It was the first marriage for both.
The couple met at the Concert of Hope tsunami relief benefit Jan. 15, where Chesney was singing and Zellweger was answering telephones, the syndicated TV show "The Insider" reported.
Chesney, 37, lives on St. John, while Zellweger, who turned 36 two weeks ago, is from Katy, Texas.
Zellweger won a best supporting actress Oscar in 2004 for "Cold Mountain." She was nominated for Oscars for her work in "Chicago" and "Bridget Jones's Diary."
Chesney currently has two albums on Billboard's top 10 country albums chart, and his single "Anything But Mine" is No. 6 on the magazine's hot country songs list.
Chesney was named Country Music Association entertainer of the year in November, and his "When The Sun Goes Down" was named album of the year. His other hits include "Me and You" and "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy."
According to Country Weekly magazine, Chesney long ago named Zellweger as his favorite actress and was inspired to write his 1999 hit "You Had Me From Hello" after seeing her in "Jerry Maguire."
Zellweger appeared at a recent Chesney concert in Jacksonsville, Fla., presenting him with a margarita and a kiss on stage, Country Weekly magazine reported.
Zellweger has dated White Stripes singer Jack White and "Me, Myself & Irene" co-star Jim Carrey.
Quick answer!
6 foot tall is good.
With or without heels?
With or without boots?
With or without hats?
Yes, my husband has a thing for her and downloads her videos :-).
"You know somewhere on this thread somebody is going to ask this question, so let me be the first. LOL
Who are Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney and why should I care?"
Boycott GOLLYWOOD and reject "Star" worship.
Just six feet tall, iirc. No heels, boots, hats, or big hair.
Hadn't heard that!
Murder suicide by daddy.
LOL...
This was said throughout last year's campaign, but not much since...so just for old time's sake--
It's Bush's fault, I find the timing suspicious, TDiDS...
You were the one I was talking about when I posted that.
I did not know that.
I have seen her in intimate venues....(Green's Grocery, Leipers Fork)
Nice pipes.
she does have that stern sappho look not that you mention it...cute though.
Get out!!! Kenny's ALL guy!! I wish them well.
Shelby Lynn is older, right? She sang with Sheryl Crow on some awards show a few years ago, and I remember saying that Shelby was gay before it was fashionable, and left country music because she was shunned.
Howdy, nuh-nuh-nuh-nephew!
Allison Moorer is dating Steve Earle. Apparently Allison is getting a divorce from her former Special Forces husband and is taking up the anti-Bush bandwagon with Mr. Earle.
They just met in January???
Tom Daschle is Deeply Saddened (in reference to a comment made by the former Minority Leader of the Senate...possibly in one of his debates with the man who beat him, John Thune)
For a while, I replaced him with DHRiDS (Dingy Harry Reid is Deeply Saddened)...
Kenny Chesney is a country singer and Renee Zellweger is an actress who looks like a swarm of bees stung her face.
So is Shania Twain.
Sheesh, people.
Thanks.
