It's been a while since the dissolution of the short-lived marriage of Country star Kenny Chesney and Oscar winner Renee Zellweger, but now Chesney feels it's time to speak out.

He is responding to the terminology used in the anullment decree that cited "fraud" as the reason for the marriage not working. The general public assumed the word fraud meant "gay", and Chesney now says that that is the furthest thing from the truth.

"It's not true. 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," the country star, 38 tells 60 Minutes in an interview to air Sunday, the Associated Press reports.

Chesney says, "We thought the least harmful (stated reason) was fraud because it (is) kind of broad ... doesn't specify. And boy ... we were wrong."

He adds, "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."
