Four months after their beachside wedding, Renée Zellweger and country singer Kenny Chesney are having their marriage annulled, PEOPLE has learned.
Zellweger filed the papers Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing "fraud" as the reason for the split. The actress's petition also asks the court not to award spousal support to Chesney.
No further details about the couple's split were available, and there was no immediate comment from Zellweger's camp on why she cited "fraud" as the reason. According to top Hollywood divorce attorney Sorrell Trope: "If fraud is checked that means a promise was made before the marriage, but the person who made it had no intention of keeping it. The promise has to pertain to the heart of the marriage."
The couple were married May 9 in a sunset ceremony on St. John in the Virgin Islands before 35 close family and friends. It was the first marriage for both.
Zellweger, 36, and Chesney, 37, met at the Jan. 15 Concert of Hope tsunami relief benefit, where he sang and she took phone pledges.
The pair had a whirlwind romance. On April 29, just a few weeks before their wedding, the Cold Mountain Oscar winner surprised Chesney in Jacksonville, Fla. – bringing him a margarita onstage for his song "When the Sun Goes Down" (a tradition at his shows) and kissing him on the cheek. It was the first public hint of a romance between the two.
One of Chesney's biggest hits is a song called "You Had Me From Hello," a takeoff on the famous line "You had me at hello" from Zellweger's breakout 1996 movie role opposite Tom Cruise, Jerry Maguire.
Our Lil' Family replied: OMG I cannot believe this. Now I'm super curious as to the details!!!!
mckayleesmom replied: I knew it...I knew it.....I feel bad for them, but I pegged that as soon as I heard they got married
coasterqueen replied: Awww, how sad. My thoughts when I hear fraud is did he cheat on her or did he decide he did or didn't want children? Why do I waste my time wondering these things.
punkeemunkee'smom replied: It does make you want the details doesn't it?!?

kayla's mama replied: Yeah, he's free again There is something about him I just love. Maybe its the cowboy hats What would DH say if I left him for Kenny. Hey, I won't have to work or clean anymore. Huh, I can dream.
TANNER'S MOM replied: Well, I have seen him in person and Umm it's wasn't what I expected...
He is tiny. I think somewhere it isays he s 5"7.. but I am 5"4 and he wasn't much taller than me... lol He was too short for my taste.. and as bald as the man I already got..lol
But the MONEY would be nice..
punkeemunkee'smom replied:
I was disappionted too! Totally off topic but saw Dierks Bentley (he was talking to Tay from the stage)~and I feel in love! And now that new video for "come a little closer"! My husband has been gone for TOO LONG this week!!!
A&A'smommy replied: quite frankly I'm not surprised!!!
A&A'smommy replied: That is what I thought too Karen!
TeagansMom609 replied: I never even heard of him before they got married. Supposedly he is a big country singer? LOL, I still have no idea who he is. And as for her, I cant stand her. I cant stand that look on her face....that sucked on a lemon look.
moped replied: I wish it had worked out - I like both of them...........darn!
kayla's mama replied: Jason said that he heard that Renee is filling fraud. We think that he might play both sides of the fence, if you know what I mean
zdk753 replied: From what I have read the fraud filing is b/c he wouldn't move to where she lived. But it's also my understanding that she wouldn't move in w/ him either.
My2Boyz replied: That is what my husband thinks too. Once he heard he called me and said that he was so excited that his girlfriend was back on the market.
punkeemunkee'smom replied:
Dh and I have too much time because we came up with the headline for next week..."Country Crooner Chesney...A WOMAN" LOL! We are so kidding but you know some tabloid reporter somewhere has their fingers crossed!
Maddie&EthansMom replied: I just don't get what girls see in him. He is not my type at all I don't guess. (he reminds me of a guy I grew up with in school....SHORT and COCKY!) Some of his newer songs are okay, but most of his older songs get on my nerves.
And I don't like Renee, either. I didn't see that they were a good match. They were never even seen together. It's like they regretted it the moment they said "I do."
mom2three replied: It is all gossip, as it is, but I was told before Kenny married Renee that he was actually gay. Is he? Probably we'll never know... but isn't that great gossip?? e
MomToMany replied: They were a very odd couple to begin with. Has anyone SEEN him without his hat on?? I don't care for either of them. They are both annoying.
