Judge Annuls
Renee Zellweger Marriage
Bridget
Jones actress Renee Zellweger's brief
marriage to country singer Kenny Chesney
has been reportedly annulled by the Los
Angeles Superior Court.
According
to papers obtained by US TV show Extra,
"the judgement of nullity is entered...
the parties are declared to be single
persons".
In US
law, an annulment decrees that a marriage
was invalid from its outset.
The
judicial declaration comes seven months
after their surprise wedding on the
Caribbean island of St John.
The pair
first met at the Concert of Hope tsunami
relief benefit in January and married in
May.
But the
marriage ended four months later when the
couple sought an annulment, with Zellweger
listing "fraud" as the reason for the
break-up.
In a
statement released on 16 September, the
actress said the term 'fraud' was "simply
legal language and not a reflection of
Kenny's character".
The same
day the pair released a joint statement
saying "the miscommunication of the
objective of their marriage" was the only
reason for their separation.
