“Here’s a country girl who’s still down to earth. You never see her coming, then \u2014 wham! \u2014 there she is. And that makes her really, really sexy,” he told the outlet. “Plus, she seems like the kind of girl who could fit in and be at home anywhere.”<\/p>\n
His 1999 hit You Had Me From Hello was also rumored to be inspired by a similar line that Zellweger’s character says in the 1996 film, Jerry Maguire.<\/p>\n
They married in May 2005 at Chesney’s private estate in St. John, U.S Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n
However, their marriage was short-lived, as they divorced later that September. Their marriage was annulled, and Zellweger cited “fraud” as the reason, which had many fans scratching their heads.<\/p>\n
Zellweger later released a statement explaining the move, saying that the term was “simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny\u2019s character.”<\/p>\n
Chesney responded by urging fans to respect their “privacy” during a “sad time,” and the pair went on to get along better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chesney even gushed about their relationship during an interview on The View, saying, “She and I fell in love like a couple of schoolkids.”<\/p>\n
He added, “I’m glad to know that can happen, that that exists, and we still really care about each other. It would’ve been a bad thing if I hadn’t met her.<\/p>\n
“She’s wonderful. I don\u2019t want to sit here and go, ‘Poor me.’ I am totally blessed, and I’m grateful for it.”<\/p>\n
Zellweger has since moved on with Christina Haack’s ex-husband, Ant Anstead, while Chesney has been in a long-term relationship with model and dancer, Mary Nolan, since 2012.<\/p>\n
However, the singer revealed in his memoir that he and Nolan are no longer dating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
