For two years, Zellweger dated [[The White Stripes]] singer [[Jack White]], who is six years her junior. The pair met while filming ''Cold Mountain'', and later began dating after the film wrapped. They broke up two years later, after schedule demands kept them apart.<ref>[http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/white%20calls%20off%20relationship%20with%20zellweger ''Jack White - White Calls Off Relationship with Zellweger''].

They had met in January at a [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|tsunami relief]] [[benefit concert]]. Zellweger missed out on the [[engagement ring]] since the wedding was planned over a short span of time.<ref>[http://diamondbug.blogspot.com/2005/05/renee-zellweger-misses-out-on.html ''Renée misses out on engagement ring'']. Diamond Bug. [[12 May]] [[2005]].</ref> On [[September 15]], [[2005]], after only four months of marriage, they announced their plans for an [[annulment]]. Zellweger cited fraud as the reason in the related papers.<ref name="usa">Thomas, Karen. [http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2005-09-15-zellweger-chesney_x.htm ''Renee Zellweger cites 'fraud' in split to Kenny Chesney'']. USA Today. [[15 September]] [[2005]].</ref> After media scrutiny of her use of the word "fraud", she qualified the use of the term, stating it was "simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character. I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalized or untrue conclusions. We hope to experience this transition as privately as possible."<ref name="usa"/> The annulment was finalized in late December 2005.
Since the annulment, she has been linked to various personalities, including actor [[Luke Perry]] of ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]'' fame.<ref>[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=7&entry_id=12962 ''Zellweger Finds Love with Perry?''] SF Gate.com. [[17 January]] [[2007]].</ref>

EW.com. </ref> Zellweger bought a home in [[Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California|Bel Air]]. However, due to the constant attention from the paparazzi, she purchased a home in Connecticut and moved in 2005. In January 2007, she admitted that she gets scared at home alone due to security problems and fans who send or leave mail at her homes. She said that she considered buying a [[gun]] for reasons of personal security.<ref>[http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/2007/01/09/renee-zellweger-says-being-home-alone-is-scary-sometimes/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.exposay.com%2Frenee-zellweger-says-being-home-alone-is-scary-sometimes%2Fv%2F7417%2F&frame=true ''Renee Zellweger Says Being Home Alone Is "Scary" Sometimes''].
