Renee Zellweger on Gay Rumors Surrounding Kenny Chesney Split: ‘That Made Me Sad’ ET September 8, 2016 View photos Renée Zellweger is reflecting on the whirlwind romance she once had with Kenny Chesney. In a recent interview with The Advocate, the 47-year-old actress opened up about her ex-husband, and the “sad” rumors that swirled around the country star following their split. WATCH: Renee Zellweger and Patrick Dempsey Make a Stunning Pair Ahead of ‘Bridget Jones’s Baby’ Back in 2005, Zellweger cited “fraud” as the reason for their separation, four months after their intimate beachside wedding in the Virgin Islands. Due to the wording in Zellweger’s annulment filing, many speculated that the “Drink It Up” singer may be gay. “I forgot about that,” Zellweger admitted. “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.” “I’d said all I needed to say on that subject,” she added. “I’m an old-fashioned gal who doesn’t feel it’s appropriate to hang out your laundry on the lawn. I feel you devalue yourself as a human being when you share very personal things with a bajillion strangers who are making fun of you. I just don’t see that there’s any dignity in that.” NEWS: Renee Zellweger Reveals Why She Came Back to Hollywood After 6 Years Away “But sometimes it is difficult to just let something be what it is, especially when it’s unnecessary ugliness,” she continued. “Once you’ve said your piece, shouldn’t that be enough? And why is the ugliness that’s perpetuated in the media so attractive to people?” Two years after their breakup, Chesney denied the rumors himself in an interview with 60 Minutes, telling Anderson Cooper, “It’s not true. Period.” “Maybe I should have come out and said, 'No, I’m not [gay],’ but I didn’t want to draw any more attention to it,” he said at the time. “I didn’t have to prove to anybody that I wasn’t [gay]. I didn’t feel like I really did.” WATCH: Renee Zellweger Sports a Baby Bump on Set of New 'Bridget Jones’ Movie Now, more than a decade later, Zellweger is able to laugh about the situation, sharing a funny story with The Advocate about once getting snapped on the beach with one of her gay confidants. “The majority of my closest friends are gay, and I have my pearl. I went to Miami for New Year’s Eve some years back with him and his boyfriend, and we got paparazzied on the beach,” she explained. “We had a very Bridget Jones moment – he had no desire to be photographed in his trunks, so he told me, 'You need to get out of here and go for a run right now!’ Some tabloid ran the photos and wrote, 'Has Renée finally found her pearl?’ I was like, 'Aww, he’s my pearl!’ He’s family to me. We dated for a minute, actually.” The reporter then jokingly asked if she knew “he was gay,” in which she responded, “No, I knew he was gay – or had been gay. But he wasn’t gay that day!” Poster Comment: As a young man, I worked at the gay florist in Chicago doing deliveries and setting up parties and Jewish weddings. All of the designers and the owner were like that. And they all had trouble with hemorrhoids. The anus is an exit, not an entrance. They always wanted me to march in the Clark St. (Gay Day) Parade, but I never would because I wasn't that way. ;)

Are you absolutely sure? You sure like to tell us that story :-) This is a really strange article. The Advocate is boring obsessively into this supposedly privacy-loving old-fashioned girl's head about a four-year-old annulment. They both protest too much, methinks, if the rumors aren't true. Tabloids have probed Chesney's theorized gayness over and over and what they say seem to leave no doubt he is. And she being such a fag hag??? 'Has Renée finally found her pearl?’ Is 'pearl' slang for one's favorite fagaroon or something? People have to be what they are. I see Kenny has an album called Be As You Are, and apparently he takes his own advice quite a lot :-3 (Hope she could afford the taxes and maintenance :-) _____________________________________________________________ USA!

I am absolutely sure. Matter of fact, a girl that worked upstairs at the print shop got my cherry. LOL "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Oh, jeepers -- if you have sex with even ONE woman ONCE, it means you're a raging 100% heterosexual by the common "knowledge" of things :-)
