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.
Well, a little eyeliner and I'd look like that.
Man, and I just caught some mumbling about them hanging out on CMT yesterday. That was fast.
Well, now that you gave me the name of a character that she played in a movie I've never seen it's all clear as a bell! Thanks.
Seriously though, the last movie I saw with her in it was the one with Chris Rock and Morgan Freemen called "Nurse Betty".
Don't you know who I am?
I will be announcing my marriage to Keith Urban on July 8th.
I thought she was one time married to Jim Carrey?
Randy's been married for years to Lib - about 20 years older then him....
TOUCHDOWN TENNESSEE
With a voice you could hear all the way to Rocky Top
Play by play for 31 years it never stopped
We heard 20, 15, 10 and 5
Your voice was our eyes and we could see Touchdown Tennessee
Quarterback rolled right
It was a long throw down field to Willie Gault
For a second no one knew if it was caught
Then we heard 20, 15, 10 and 5
Your voice was our eyes and we could see Touchdown Tennessee
Your voice painted us a picture
Of all the losses and the wins
And its so hard to imagine
A game without your voice again
Saying 20, 15, 10 and 5
Your voice was our eyes and we could see Touchdown Tennessee
So thank you John
What a run, its been fun for us all
Oh the way our hearts pounded when you called 20, 15, 10 and 5
Your voice was our eyes and we could see Touchdown Tennessee
Ah Keith Urban.. However....if I had to pick ONE hot famous man to spend five minutes with it would have to be Julian McMahon!!!
I got dibs on Craig Morgan.
I love Keith Urban.
Shelby Lynn and her sister Allison Moore were traumitized while children as their father murdered their mother and then killed himself. They're from Clark County Alabama - I met Shelby years ago in Wash, DC and when I was introduced to her, said "Conceived in Jackson Alabama - born in Grovehill Alabama" - she cracked up! These are two cities (dots in the road of Clark County)and then I told her that my mother had dated her uncle in High School...small world, huh?
Clive Owen does it for me... he's already married though.
Now HE'S gay.
it will soon be the first divorce for both?
Keith Urban? you wish....but he's mine so get over it!
Interesting. I thought Renee Z. was a big contributor to liberal Dem. politicians. I believe that Kenny C. is a solid Republican, and appeared at the Republican National Convention. Guess love conquers all...let's hope so. They are both very talented, likeable personalities. I wish them luck.
Nooooo!
