Zellweger and Chesney Split Because of the Kids Talk

The "Bridget Jones" star has recently filed for divorce, citing "fraud" as the main reason for her legal action. But Zellweger has asked her fans no to jump to "sensationalized or untrue conclusions."

The media has rumored that Renee Zellweger split from her husband Kenny Chesney because he doesn't want children.

Apparently the 36-year-old actress is said to have mentioned Chesney's reluctance to become a dad even though "her biological clock is ticking loudly".

According to a source quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper:

"She's an old-fashioned girl and wanted to start a family as soon as the wedding dress was in the wardrobe. She thought Kenny felt the same way, but it didn't take her long to realise the dream was over."


The couple, who met at a tsunami relief concert in January got married in May at a romantic ceremony on the beach in the Virgin Islands.

But, according a friend of Renee "She had no idea how involved in her life Kenny would want to be.

She'd never even seen him lose his temper before the wedding. But now he seems to think he can tell Renee what to do, what to wear, where to go and who to see."
