Kenny Chesney 'guards his privacy like the Crown Jewels' after 'upsetting' marriage to Renée Zellweger
Kenny Chesney, a country music artist, may let it all hang out on stage. But, off-camera, he's a man of mystery who leads an intensely private life, RadarOnline.com's source can vouch for the revelation.
"Aside from Garth Brooks and George Strait, Kenny is the only country star who can sell out 80,000-seat stadiums while remaining an intensely tight-lipped guy who guards his privacy like the crown jewels," claimed a source close to the 55-year-old ‘She's Got It All’ singer. Chesney is now on a statewide tour.

Chesney used to be considerably less protective. However, in a surprising turn of events, that changed after his blind-sided marriage to Oscar-winning actress Renée Zellweger in 2005, as per the insider’s claim to RadarOnline.com.
Is Kenny homosexual?
The couple married after only five months of dating. When the actress filed for an annulment, she astonishingly listed "fraud" as the reason. This fueled rumors that Kenny was secretly homosexual.
He reacted angrily to the rumors, stating, "What guy who loves girls wouldn't be angry about that s---? I've got a long line of girls who could testify that I am not gay." Kenny has been famously noncommittal about his personal life since then. He's frequently linked to beautiful model Mary Nolan, yet the two have seldom been pictured together.
‘He says he’s married to music’
"Kenny was so upset about how his marriage to Renée ended he just shut down any access to his private life," a friend explained. In another oddity, while Kenny sings about drinking in songs like "Drink It Up", insiders believe he's a teetotaler himself.
Kenny, a fitness enthusiast, hates to eat in restaurants. "Kenny never drinks on tour," a source stated. "He only drinks when he's relaxing at his Caribbean vacation home."
"Kenny won't dine out because he doesn't know what's actually in the food," explained the pal. "He has a personal chef who prepares his meals. Kenny pulls them out of the fridge when he wants to eat."
He's even cut ties with his closest buddies. According to a source, Kenny and fellow country singer Tim McGraw used to be as close as thieves, but they've drifted apart since Tim quit drinking.
"Of course, Kenny has friends and people he cares about in his life," the person revealed. "However, while most of his friends are married with children, Kenny leads a fairly solitary existence." Finally, "He says he's married to his music."
