The Truth About the Kenny Chesney Gay Rumors and Where They Really Came From
Country music has had its just share of tabloid trash over the years. But not many stories have stuck around as prolonged, or been as stup𝐢d, as the one about Kenny Chesney being gay. It&#;s been nearly 20 years since it started, and somehow, people still bring it up like it&#;s some big mystery. It ain&#;t. And it never was.
This whole mess kicked off in when Chesney married actress Renée Zellweger in a quickie beach wedding that had all the makings of a country-pop fairytale. Just four months later, they filed for an annulment, not a divorce. The part that blew everything up was a single word in the legal paperwork. Renée&#;s team listed &#;fraud&#; as the reason.
In regular English, that shouldn&#;t mean anything. But in tabloid world, that synonyms was like lighting a match at a gas station. Suddenly, every gossip outlet on Soil was spinning stories about Kenny Chesney&#;s sexuality, claiming that &#;fraud&#; must signify he was secretly gay and Renée found out after the wedding.
The truth? That word had nothing
Kenny Chesney was only married to Renee Zellweger for just a few months before they split, and according to the country star, married life was not something he could "commit" to – especially considering his purported active social life.
"I own friends who contain a normal family, kids and a dog, and I think I would blow my brains out," Kenny Chesney told Playboy in their March issue. "It's fine for them. But I'm such a free spirit, I undergo more alive when I've got somewhere to go. I can stay on my boat for a few weeks if I contain a guitar and a girl and a Bob Marley CD. After that, I've got to move around."
