Period. Maybe I should have come out and said, 'No, I'm not gay,' but I didn't want to draw any more attention to it."I didn't have to prove to anybody that I wasn't gay. I didn't feel like I really did."The only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew what it was like that I really understood what it was like to be married, and I really didn't."Despite the confusion surrounding his sexuality, Chesney has no regrets about the marriage.He said: "We thought the least harmful stated reason was fraud because it is kind of broad doesn't specify."And boy we were wrong. But I don't regret our marriage at all. Not one bit."Even though I'd sit here and say I wish we'd gotten divorced instead of all that annulment stuff, and saved myself a lot of public humiliation. I still don't have any regrets. I loved her, and it was real."Zellweger and the 38-year-old country singer were married in the Virgin Islands in May 2005.The 37-year-old actress filed for an annulment four months later.Zellweger later issued a statement saying the term "fraud" was "simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character."(C) BANG Media International
