Actress Renee Zellweger has recently declared that she still believes in love and marriage, despite her recent break up with her husband, country singer Kenny Chesney.

Zellweger, 36, who announced last week that she and her husband Chesney are seeking an annulment after only five months of marriage, declared she still believes in marriage, arguing her parents are still a couple after 45 years.

She revealed: "My parents have been married for 45 years so I can't help but believe in it. I've seen it work. I'm a hopeless romantic. And I believe in love, despite some of my disheartening experiences."

The actress also confessed she still hopes to find the love of her life, like her parents did. Renee: "Who wouldn't? And not just in a romantic situation, but with your friendships, with everything. Of course!"

She reveiled in an interview with Britain's OK! Magazine: "I've had my heart broken before. God, yes! I've had my bag-of-chips-on-the-couch-alone nights. With each experience, you look at the next with more wisdom - or at least, that's what you hope."
