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.
OMG...wear your red shoes. ;)
I agree with this statement, with however, a caveat. Kidman is a beautiful and talented actress, but she was grossly miscast in the part she played in Cold Mt. She is way too glamourus for that part. It just wasn't right for here. Imagine Ingrid Bergman or Lauren Bacall in the part. Wouldn't work. Zigweiler is more of a Kate Hepburn type which is why she fit right in.
The problem was compounded by Kidman's costumes which were so perfect, and therefore so contrived, that she looked ridiculous (to me anyway) at times.
Despite that, it was still a good movie, and Kidman did a respectable job in a part she never should have had.
It's Enrico Pallazzo.
WOW, that was fast, they just started dating!
No, Lauren Holley was married to Jim Carrey - Renee just dated him...
Actually I already have the outfit and it has white shoes :)
Interesting. I think they're both very talented.
"I love Keith Urban."
Me too!!
Well, that's true, but it has nothing to do with being Canadian. There's nothing country about Faith Hill in the last ten years, and she's from Fleaspeck, KY, or wherever.
Also the Bridget Jones' Diary movies. Very funny if you enjoy British comedy. Although she's not British she does a great accent.
They've known one another THREE months and a few days. He loved her in her "Jerry McGuire" days. What's he gonna do when she bulks up again for her next "Bridget Jones" movie?
Yep. This one was made in Heaven. *Rolleyes*
Who's the girl, and why is she is this thread?
The girl is Terri Clark, a country music singer, and she is on this thread because she is Canadian. She is also 6 feet tall, fwiw.
Renee Zellweger looks like a fair-skinned Oompah Loompah.

Renee never looked better than in Down With Love. She was awesome.
LOL!
Have you seen Terri Clark's new video 'Girls lie too'. It's hysterical.
Good for you! I'm impressed.
