Just A Reminder That Renee Zellweger And Kenny Chesney Were Married

Nine years ago today, the Huffington Post was launched. Fun Fact? That same day, the strange celebrity couple Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney surprised almost everyone by tying the knot in a wedding ceremony barefoot -on -the - beach in St. John .

Then, just four months later, he surprised everyone again to annul his marriage. Talk of a relationship of blink- and -you'll -miss -it.

The question on everyones mind ' then? Why Zellweger cited "fraud" as the reason for the split - and why the order is sought annulment instead of a divorce?

In September 2005, the former couple released a joint statement to clarify things: "The lack of communication of the objectives of their marriage at the start is the only reason for this annulment " he said, " Renée and Kenny value and respect each other and saddened that their different objectives prevent the success of this marriage. "

A few years later, in 2010, Chesney admitted to Oprah Winfrey that simply had “panicked “after marrying Zellweger.” She is a sweet soul, no doubt, but I just was not ready. "

We may never know the whole story, but we will always be a little sad that the man who sang “You had me at hello” could not make it work with the woman who gave the same line a few years ago in “Jerry Maguire " .
