Renee Zellweger Responds to Old Rumors That Ex Kenny Chesney is Gay

Renee Zellweger walks the red carpet with co-stars Patrick Dempsey and Colin Firth at the premiere of their movie Bridget Jones’s Baby on Friday (September 9) in Madrid, Spain.

The Oscar-winning actress was recently asked by The Advocate to discuss the rumors that her ex Kenny Chesney is gay. The couple got married in 2005 and she cited “fraud” while annulling their four-month marriage.

“I forgot about that. It’s a pretty big thing to forget, isn’t it? That made me sad. It made me sad that somehow people were using that as a way to be cruel and calling someone gay as a pejorative, which has fateful consequences. Of course, there’s the bigger-picture problem of why anyone had to make up a story at all,” Renee said.

FYI: Renee is wearing a Carolina Herrera dress and David Webb jewelry.
