Kenny Chesney Denies Gay Rumours

Chesney: "I'm pretty firm in my sexuality."

Country singer Kenny Chesney recently confessed that he was angry when he found out the media is questioning his sexuality after he decided to divorce from his wife, actress Renee Zellweger.

Chesney, 37, married Renée Zellweger on the resort island St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, on May 9, 2005. The pair met in January 2005 at a tsunami relief benefit. Chesney had previously commented that Zellweger was his favorite actress, and he had written a song, "You Had Me from Hello", based on her line from Jerry Maguire.

On September 15, 2005, after only four months of marriage, they announced their plans for an annulment. Zellweger cited "fraud" as the reason in the related legal papers.

Chesney says: "They've done nothing short of calling me gay and her a whore. None of those things are true. I'm pretty firm in my sexuality and my love for women."
